SynopsisOne of Star Trek's all-time fan-favourite characters returns in a stunningly plotted edge-of-the-seat adventure., After facing the Borg menace, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise is looking forward to a little exploration when the enigmatic Q informs them that the universe is at stake if they don't unravel the mystery of a strange planet in this Star Trek: The Next Generation novel. Nearly two decades ago, Jean-Luc Picard took command of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, knowing it was an honor without equal. On her first mission, the Enterprise was sent to Farpoint Station for 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 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 today that Picard was remembering the day he took command of the Enterprise -D? Now he commanded a new ship, the Enterprise -E, with a different crew. But Picard couldn't shake the feeling that something all too familiar was going on. All too awful. All too Q., The enigmatic Q has always taken a personal interest in the crew of the "Enterprise," and in particular her captain, Jean-Luc Picard. This original novel picks up where the film "Nemesis" leaves off, as it follows the lives of favorite characters and features one of the most popular villains in Star Trek history.

And there's a mysterious photographer who might not be who she seems… Can Jade solve the mystery or will the party turn into a birthday disaster? A delightful new Magic Ballerina story from Prima Ballerina and guest judge on Strictly Come Dancing, Darcey Bussell., Nearly two decades ago, Jean-Luc Picard took command of the "U.S.S. Enterprise(TM)" 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 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.

Then it would turn all too serious, and the survival of Picard's crew was in Q's hands. Why was it today 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.
