by John de Lancie

712,385,122 (3)None
The enigmatic entity known as Q remains one of the greatest mysteries of the universe, yet no one, perhaps, understands Q as well as actor John de Lancie, who has played Q on television for more than a decade. Now de Lancie and Peter David, the bestselling author of such acclaimed novels as Q-in-Law and Q-Squared have joined forces to send Q on an unforgettable cosmic odyssey, told from the mischevious trickster's own unique point of view. The Maelstrom, a metaphysical whirlpool of apocalyptic proportions, is pulling all of reality into its maw, devouring the totality of time and space while bringing together people and places from throughout the universe. The Q Continuum pronounces that the end of everything has come, but Q refuses to meekly accept the complete termination of all he has known. Defying the judgment of the Continuum, he sets out do derail doomsday at whatever the cost. Q is joined in this quest by his young son, little q, as well as by two displaced Starfleet officers. Snatched from the USS EnterpriseĀ™ by the inexorable pull of the Maelstrom, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Commander Data have no choice but to accompany Q on a hazardous journey into the very heart of the vortex, where they will encounter wonders and dangers enough to render Q himself speechless. Almost. But can even Q, assisted by Picard, prevent the Universe as We Know It from literally going down the drain? I, Q is a wild and witty voyage through the secret soul of creation as only Q can tell it!… (more)

I'm a fan of Q and his ability to make everything overbearingly about himself, even when it isn't. Honestly, this book felt like it was missing something. Not just Q's lack of powers but the overall feel of the book wasn't right. It felt too serious. Maybe because this audio listed it as abridged (and I can't find the full book anywhere) they took out more of the humor to fit within the window they wanted.

I imagine the book is better, because it is whole. This abridged version left much to be desired. ( )
