Summary: Maybe the weakest of the 3 books.
Review: This entire trilogy is a gold mine for those of us who are fascinated by Q. Unfortunately, it is probably not going to appeal to those who find Q annoying, or those looking for a classic Picard-centered adventure.However, having said that, this book is my pick for the weakest of the 3. Q has shared a part of his history with Picard, attempting to convince Picard to stop the Enterprise-E from making a big mistake... but they return to the Enterprise too late to stop it. With the release of a superbeing that makes Q look like Mother Teresa (well, maybe not THAT nice, but you get the idea), Q shows that he is far from being a perfect being. In fact, he gets scared right down to his socks (do they wear socks in the Continuum?) Admittedly, even though this does give a great insight into the basic character of Q, it doesn't make for very pleasant reading. Also, this book can seem rather disjointed at times, since Q and his enemy tend to flash all over the ship during their battle, and because there are other problems facing the Enterprise-E. All in all, a nice wrap-up to the trilogy, but perhaps in need of a quick re-edit.

Summary: A fun read, but not as good as expected
Review: This was a fun read, but not as thoroughly entertaining as I thought it would be. The story started off well with the first book. Cox has Q's voice down pat (the older Q that we are familiar with that is), and the inclusion of Q (Q's wife seen in the Voyager episode "The Q and the Grey") and q (their baby) was very entertaining. Moving into the second book, the story slows down a lot. Overall the story is interesting, but not absorbing. I found that I had trouble focusing on it, but I can't say for certain why that was. The background on the Tkon Empire is interesting as is the previously unseen history of Q. The third book, of course, wraps up the story. Despite the grave struggle that Picard, Q, and company went through to resolve things, I didn't feel the excitement of it all. Again, I can't put my finger on any particular reason, but the series was a bit of a disappointment, though it was still fun. There are three major problems with the Q Continuum series: The first is too much of a reliance on references to events in past episodes of the TV series. An occasional reference is OK but these books, especially the first one, are littered with them. There are so many of these that it becomes distracting. It is a great way to take up space and make the book longer, but it does nothing for the story since the people reading these books are already Star Trek fans and are already familiar with all of these events. The second problem is spotty editing. This has been a problem with Star Trek novels, especially the Voyager books, but this series is, in this respect, the worst that I have read so far. The problems are mainly in the form of entire words missing from sentences, or duplicate words. One or two such mistakes in a 275-page book may be understandable, but when there are as many as there are here it just becomes distracting. There are 32 such occurrences in the third book alone! The third problem that I had with the series is that even near the end of the second book Picard was asking himself why Q had brought him on the journey and what it had to do with the barrier. This is ridiculous. The reason is obvious to the reader as soon as 0 commits his first transgression and Picard would have probably figured it out even before that. To think that he still didn't know after all that he had seen is stretching believability. But in the end this is an entertaining story and if you are a fan of Q then you should like it very much. They're not the best Trek books out there, but they are worth reading.

Summary: A Horrid Disappointment: Don't Waste Your Time
Review: Ugh. Let me repeat that: UGH. This boring, drawn out conclusion to a boring, drawn out trilogy was actually worse than its two predecessors, which I thought was impossible. It is tedious, repetitive, preachy, transparent and UNORIGINAL. The characters were cardboard cutouts repeating lines we've all heard before, repeating behaviors we've seen a thousand times. Q reached his hiatus as an enigmatic, occasionally benevolent, and inherently chaotic character -- like a cross between Loki and Obi-Wan Kenobi -- in "ST: The Next Generation." Q has been in decline ever since, becoming a neutered, pathetic character on "Voyager." This book is the final insult. Q is showing NONE of the DEVELOPMENT he received on TNG's "Tapestry" and "All Good Things" and Peter David's masterfully written "Q-Squared" and "Q-In-Law," having become a gross parody of the chaotic mentor of the Enterprise. The worst part is, I *REALLY LIKE* Q. Just not like this. The bitter joke of the whole thing is I was entirely willing to give the trilogy a chance. I read all three over the course of three weekends, hoping for it to stop dragging along and get going. As I read, I kept waiting for it to get better. And waiting. And waiting. By the end of the third book, I was disgusted. I'm tempted to never read this author again, and I am VERY turned off to any new Q books, if they're going to be like this. For Q stories, I guess I'll have to go back and re-read "Q-Squared" and "Q-In-Law," then go watch "All Good Things" and "Tapestry." It had such potential. What a shame.

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 3rd 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: First ST book I've read
Review: Well, these three books are the first that I've read from any of the Star Trek novels. I think they were great! I finished all three books in two days, and I want more. A lot of you seem to claim that this trilogy was not good, and that an author named Peter David is much better. I don't see how that's possible because this series was so good. A lot of the reviewers claim that it was too drawn out with details and Star Trek tv show references, and I just say, "so what?" If you don't like the references, just skip over them, although I don't see how it's so hard to read a couple more pages. A great trilogy!

Summary: Not impressed
Review: While I like an occasional StarTrek novel, this one reads like a waste of time, and not only because I can't quite get into suspension of disbelief where humandoids normally oversmart superpowerful dieties. I could not bring myself to care for the story much
