Summary: Fun 'Q' story, but something prevented me from enjoying..
Review: I have enjoyed Q-space, as I got some more insight about Q's existence and his or their history. However, something prevented me from really enjoying this story - probably lenght of story and too much 'reference' of old events. Of course I love to recall/newly know those events, but it is sometimes stressful for me, unfortunately. Some of the 'next generation' story is worth reading 2 books or watching 2 hours , but I still love to watch one well-organized program. Hope another 2 books make me more comfortable. To note; 4 stars consists of 3 for this book and 1 for expectations for another two.

Summary: ST: TNG - The Continuum: Q-Space
Review: Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuum: Q-Space written by Greg Cox is an action adventure book written about the Q Continuum. The prime characters are Q and Jean-Luc Picard as Q hijacks Captain Picard on an untimate adventure with, of course, under currents to save the universe. But, this book is the set-up for a trilogy and as such works to give us some of the little known information of the mysterious realm of Q's past and we learn a few of Q's secrets.I've always believed that Q choses Jean-Luc Picard because Picard acts like a conscience to mitigate Q's consummate outrageousness... a kind of lightening rod for all of Q's transgressions. Well, we are not disappointed here, as we find Q as a youth was rather mislead, but Q's mind has more than his usual pranks in store for Picard. As the Enterprise and her crew prepare to breach the galactic barrier with the help of a brilliant Betazed scientist where Q's enemy lurks, this galactic story begins and takes us on a wild ride of odyssey into Q's past with the reader and Captain Jean-luc Picard in tow. There are ties with the TV series throughout the book to bring a tighter knit to the novels and the series. As the author tells the tale, the reader is propelled into the Q Continuum with "O" and the Calamarain all are omnipotent with a varing degree of omniscient power. Greg Cox does a good job capturing Q, not as good as Peter David, but nevertheless you can get into the character flow of Q. As this book is the set-up, I hope we will receive further explaination of Q's past.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: Well, being a long-time Trekkie (TNG is my favorite), I was quite disappointed with this book. Liked the premise, liked the characters, did not like the execution. This book, the 1st of a 3 book trilogy had way too much talk and background info for my liking. It appears the author took 1 exciting book and split it into 3 much weaker parts. Profits are the only reason I can think of why this was done.

Summary: The TNG book that got me reading books.
Review: What can I say... This book is GREAT! I wasn't into reading Star Trek books till my friend bought met his book for christmas a few years ago.. It Sat on my bookshelf forever, till 6 months ago i finally read it. 6 months later, I'm almost done with Q-Zone(The second book in the trilogy) and I have Q-Strike ordered and on the way in anticipation of finishing Book 2. Book 1(Q-Space, this book) starts off with the Enterprise-E picking up an esteemed beta-zed scientist called Lhem-fal. The experiment, cross the galactic barrier. Once the Enterprise approaches the barrier, however, the familiar Calamarain launch an assault on the enterprise, trying to prevent the Enterprise from reaching the barrier. Shortly after, Q and his wife/son pay a visit to the enterprise, and not too long after, Q abducts Picard and takes him on a journey through time in space to relive Q's childhood(Not like any other childhood you will ever read about, I guarantee). Meanwhile, on the Enterprise, Riker must deal with the growing calamarain threat.

Summary: Q at his very best
Review: It actually took me months to read the book through, but that doesn't make it less interesting, fascinating, flattering... than it is. Q is one of the best characters, and having him show his past to us...! Well, hello, I say! This is actually one of the best stories I have ever read on Star Trek, and the fact that Q is the main character (also my favorite character) makes it all the better. Q's past is as flattering and interesting as I expected it to be. Having him admit that he made mistakes that took a BIG influence on the whole system was a real revelation. My recommendation: Read it!

Summary: Blah! Good premise needed WAY WAY WAY fewer words.
Review: This trilogy could have been written in two, or even only one book. The author was extremely wordy, as if he was trying to fill up all the space given to him by the editors. The stories dragged on and on and on... and as much as I LOVE a good story about xenoarcheology I actually took all three books back to the book seller half way through the second book. The characters were believable, to the author's credit, but it just took too damn long to get anywhere of interest. Going in plot-circles just isn't my idea of a good time. I felt as though the editor and author got together and decided they wanted to make some extra cash by dragging out this plot line and I felt literally hoodwinked and cheated; that's why I returned the books. They probably figured because Q was involved, everyone would fall for it. I almost did. I have been leary of three-parters in the ST universe ever since. BUT I was pleasantly surprised by the Millenium trilogy for DS9.

Summary: Welcome to the Continuum!
Review: In Q-Space Greg Cox begins an excellent Star Trek trilogy. Despite some minor continuity issues that the author does not usually succumb to. On the whole, the trilogy is an absolute must read for serious Star Trek fans.
While Riker and the crew of the Enterprise are stuck dealing with the angry Calamarain, Picard is taken all throughout the history of the galaxy by Q. The villains are great in this. Without ruining the trilogy for those who have not read it, let's just say that you will really enjoy it. The only unfortunate thing at this time is that the second book in the trilogy is no longer in publication. This is something I'm hoping that Pocket Books will correct as soon as possible. Thank you to Greg Cox for one of the best Trek trilogies.

Summary: trilogy
Review: I ordered all three books in the trilogy to find out that the 2nd
one is out of print. Does that make sense? You can buy #1 & #3,
but forget about #2.

Summary: Not Peter David, But A Good Read
Review: This was the first Star Trek book I ever read, and I though it was pretty good, enough to get me into The Next Generation television show. It has a good plot, continuing from an episode, and is well written. But after reading other Q books, It is not as good as the ones written by Peter David. I have yet to finish the trilogy for some reason, it just doesn't grasp me as others have.
