Dulll and rather preposterous - By: Mr. K. J. Santi, 09 Dec 2008 
Oh dear, it's all gone a bit wrong.
Generally anything involving the Borg is worth reading or watching, but this book is the exception. All this book amounts to is another retread of the "Borg flies to earth & try & destroy humanity" storyline.
And guess what? The Enterprise is the only ship than can stop them & only Picard has the abilityin the whole of Starfleet to think of an imaginative solution. I can see the good captainin his ready room thinking: "Hmm, the pesky Borg are back & want to destroy the Earth? Gosh, it's almost like that Romulan chap a year ago with his big ship that exploded & killed Data. First time I made the Borg go to sleep - that won't work again. Shooting the plasma tanks thing worked well against the queen, but would she accept an invite to engineering for a cup of Earl Gray? Probably not. Ah, what about the Guardian of forever? Nah too silly. Hang on, wasn't there a big cone shaped alien ship type thing that was found by Kirk & it was nearly invulnerable, & was built to kill the Borg? Perfect! Let's go & get it & come to the rescue again. Hooray!"
The author then slipsin some continuity stuff by referring to past events from at least a couple of old TNG novels. Throwin a few untypical crew members to replace data & Riker. Lastly, but definitely not least, there is a rather bizarre cameo by Mr Spock who has prepared a long list of obtuse, unhelpful & annoyingly smug one liners.
This book is a really lazy effort. It was dull; some of the stuff the Borg do is just too farfetched. I only finished the book out of curiosity to see what sort of ending was waiting for me. Answer - a really bad one. Avoid.
Fantastic - one of the best Trek books I have read - By: Mrs. Y. K. Brimacombe, 11 Apr 2008 
I am suprised at some of the mixed reviews for this book as I genuinely couldn't put it down. This is the follow on to the "OK" Resistance book & my only slight complaint was the cliff hanger ending, which isn't really a negative as this surely means a third book is due. This does however have some truly great moments, my personal favourite is The Borg queen threatening the Q with assimilation, a scene I would love to have seenin a film or TV show. If you are thinking of buying then obviously get Resistance first then read this - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
A Cracking Read - By: A. Caldwell, 13 Feb 2008 First things first - we know this is not canon, because its a book not a film or TV show - so we can get over the worries of what happens to who & what. The book is fast paced, well written, gripping, exciting & a page turner. Picard's reactions to events are perfectly scripted as are the other members of the 'old crew'. The guess stars of Lady Q & Spook give the book further depth & interest. As a sequel to Resistance it is excellent. I am enjoying these post Nemesis books immensely.
New moves! - By: pageturner, 29 Jan 2008 
I felt the above comments were valid but feel they can be seen positively, I mean the Janeway thing - surely the next book they will reverse it & she'll pop up from nowhere!
I felt the shifts were good & for me it was a page turner a good mash of all of our favourites! It is perhaps not too deep but if you want something that will keep you going for a few days & not wanting to put down this is worth it!
