Summary: Ha, Ha.
Review: Verry funny, and a good storyline as well. See a "human" side to Q, and great tangents as we would expect.

Summary: STNG - I, Q - Simply genius!
Review: As we learned in Peter David's first Q novel, STNG #18, "Q-In-Law" and his later and even more brilliant hardback, "Q-Squared," he knows Q and he writes Q with nothing but perfection. With I, Q, Peter David raises that level of perfection to a new height as this narrative story, written almost entirely from Q's perspective is nothing short of brilliant, witty and extraordinarily intriguing. Of course, this novel is made even better by the fact that Q himself, John De Lancie co-wrote this masterpiece. While some may have found the style in which this novel was written somewhat distracting, I found it to be "dead on" with the character of Q and his personality.The premise: We begin this story with a character that by all appearances seems to be superior to Q and the Q-Continuum. In this beautifully well written beginning, we learn that this "supreme" being has decided that the multiverse is no longer of any value and that it should literally be run down the drain. Just as this process begins, this "supreme" being discovers a bottle with a narrative in it, written by you know who. This is where the story gets extremely interesting as Q takes us through his narrative as he takes Captain Picard, Data and us, the readers, through multiple planes of existence, on a search to find his wife and son. While the story advances along, he also regales us with tales from his past that at times are utterly intriguing, humorous and a bit telling of his character. In no uncertain terms, I, Q is a purely brilliant story as Peter David takes us through Q's trials and tribulations along the way to finding his wife and son while the multiverse is crumbling around him. While there are many absolutely great Star Trek authors, Peter David work stands above the rest, as does I, Q. I highly recommend this Star Trek novel to any all fans of Star Trek, whether you're a die hard fan or a casual fan that has only seen one or two episodes with Q, you will thoroughly enjoy this outstanding Q novel. I would also recommend the audio book or CD, as it makes for a wonderful way to pass three hours on the highway, made even better by the fact that this story is read by Q himself, John De Lancie. {ssintrepid}

Summary: Call me Ishmael, well on second thought...
Review: Q is a great Star Trek character that Jon De Lanice plays brilliantly. The fact that he co-wrote a book is a real treat.
These types of books are best if you don't take them too seriously and just enjoy the ride. Q's anecdotes and asides were more entertaining than the story being told which at times seemed like an attempt to pack as much action as possible onto every page. Often times it felt like television channlels flipping too rapidly. However the humorous tone of the book makes it worthy of a rather enjoyable if thoughtless afternoon. Picard and Data seem to be thrown into the action for no reason but I guess they had to be there since it's a Next Generation book and all. Picard isn't very noble in this book functioning mainly to yell at Q. He sounds like a bitter old man. Ah well. Other than that I think people will enjoy it if they like the Q character and aren't expecting Moby Dick.
