Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Nearly two decades ago, Jean-Luc Picard took command of the U.S.S. Enterprise™ NCC-1701-D. The captain knew it was an honor without equal. His new command bore the name of Enterprise. The people who had commanded other like-named starships had gone down in Starfleet's annals. Some officers would be intimidated, but they would not have been given command of Enterprise.
On her very first mission, the Enterprise was sent to Farpoint Station. A simple, straightforward investigation. Perfect for a crew that had never served together. Then there was Q. An omnipotent lifeform that seemed bent on placing obstacle after obstacle in the ship's -- and in particular in Picard's -- way. And it hadn't ended with that very first mission. When he was least expected, Q would appear. Pushing, prodding, testing. At times needling captain and crew with seemingly silly, pointless, and maddening trifles. Then it would turn all too serious, and the survival of Picard's crew was in Q's hands.
Why was it yesterday that Picard was remembering the day he took command of the Enterprise-D? Now he commanded a new ship, the Enterprise-E. His crew was different. There was nothing about Gorsach that in the least resembled Farpoint. But Picard couldn't shake the feeling that something all too familiar was going on. All too awful. All too Q.

Been a while since I read Star Trek novels, but my friend got me a couple as a present and I've read both of them ("Resistance" and now "Q&A") in the span of two weeks. Maybe minor SPOILERS.
After going through Q&A, it seems to have the same problem as Resistance. The premise of "Q" being involved in a book is usually pretty exciting. I was curious what the authors could pull out this time. However, the story sort of dragged along with millions of cutovers to other people with Q popping up intermittenly. There are some funny moments (as usual) with Q's interaction with the crew.
However, the setup (while a little dragged) was ok, the climax and ending were (to me at least) a big "HUH" moment. Maybe I was just reading the book to late to grasp all the details, but I felt letdown at the end.
All in all, the book is not terrible and if you're a fan of Q, it's worth a look. But maybe you need to keep your expectations low.

This was an interesting, creative story, with a very imaginative and unique view of Q. The characterization of Q was layered and complex, and the plot was suspenseful and fun. This is one of the best Trek novels to come along in quite some time.

This book was well written and a welcome change from the Borg themed Next generation books that have been written lately. I found it very fun to read and couldn't put it down until I was finished.

Some fans are dissing the TNG episode references. But I've long felt that the movies do a disservice to their source material by neglecting their source material. The most successful Star Trek films (Khan and First Contact) were directly spun off from episodes, and this book does a great job shedding light on the Q continuum and the further exploits of the Enterprise E and her valiant crew. Witness parallel universes colliding, and everyone's favorite cosmic prankster's various past shenanigans are put in new perspective (some we didn't even know he had a hand in). If you thought Admiral Lameway had tamed the quirky ominiscient, au contraire mon capitane; he is back! All hail the continuing voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
