Star Trek: Borg

Summary: PAIN!
Review: In this Star Trek work based on a video game the main character receives the ability to go into a PAIN TRANCE. The idea being that when you are in this trance, you pass out and escape any pain the body may receive. Oh how I wished for this ability while the work was inflicted on me. The hapless stringing together of sections of the video game with a narration attempts to make this into a fluid work. It fails in amazing fashion. The video game roots are so obvious it is painful to listen too. The main charter dies over and over (much like you must during the game) and is set back on a boring path that makes no sense whatsoever. Even poor Q seems bored by the whole thing. Avoid.

Review: Should be the next Star Trek movie

Summary: Too much like a computer adventure game
Review: The plot of this story is too simplistic and too much like watching someone play a computer adventure game. The hero dies or fails the mission, so is repeatedly taken back to the previous spot to try again. Just like playing a computer game, dying, and them starting back from the last saved position. Q, rather than being the nuissance that he usually is, plays the role of the game's "hint book". There's also the feeling of limited choice in the character's action, just as with an adventure game. (For example, there are oonly three things that the hypo-syringe can be used for at the end, vs. the kind of open-ended use of things that exists in real life.)

Summary: Interesting at the very least!
Review: To say the least, this is an interesting way to spend an hour or so on the highway. As the other reviewers have stated, it seems more like a video game. The main character gets himself waxed, Q come's in, complain's and runs him back to just before he screwed up. A decent plot, that get's caught up in the spirit of being a video game, which makes it somewhat tedious. John DeLancie and the other readers do a pretty good job with what was given to them though.
