A celebration of love between two powerful rival families is cut short when the all powerful being called Q arrives and challenges the very concept of love.

When two powerful rival families of the spacefaring merchant race called the Tizarin are to be joined through marriage, the U.S.S. Enterprise is chosen as the site for the wedding. Though Captain Picard is pleased by the happy duty, his pleasure is cut short by the arrival of the Federation delegate from Betazed: Lwaxana Troi—the mother of ship's counsellor, Deanna Troi.

Despite Lwaxana Troi's romantic overtures toward the captain, the celebration seems to go smoothly until the situation is further complicated by the arrival of the notorious and all powerful being called Q—who has come to examine and challenge the human concept of love. Suddenly, the festivities are in turmoil, the powerful Tizarin families are on the verge of war, and Lwaxana Troi is determined to teach Q a lesson in love that he will never forget...© & (P)1992 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Would you consider the audio edition of Star Trek, The Next Generation: Q-in-Law (Adapted) to be better than the print version?

I would prefer the printed version of this book rather than the abridged audiobook.

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed this audio book! It was a very whimsical and enjoyable read! It was short and sweet and left me wanting to physically read the book!

Have you listened to any of Majel Barrett and John de Lancie ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've never listened to any other recordings by these performers.

Enjoyable read!

At 90 minutes the book loses a ton of story (obviously). What makes this so much fun is they got the main characters from the book/show to voice their characters. Was like listening to an unaired episode of TNG.

Short but fun

Two of my favorite characters in the same episode! In their own voices! John de Lancie reads all the male character voices, and Majel Barrett reads all the female characters.

Absolutely loved this story. Mrs. Troy and Q have remarkable chemistry. Both with unquestionable power making them behave like spoiled children and getting their just deserts. (didn't want to spoil it).

Love Q

What did you love best about Star Trek, The Next Generation?

I loved the show and the actors who portrayed the wonderful characters of Next Gen.

What did you like best about this story?

In this story, written by Peter David, I laughed and enjoyed the book the first time I 'READ" the story. Then I heard it was made into an audio with Majel Barrett and John de Lancie reading. I had to get it. And the story rocked... but

What does Majel Barrett and John de Lancie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

What can I say, I loved them on the show and as readers they brought the fun and authenticity to the story. I felt like I could close my eyes and see the story unfold as if it was actually on the screen and not just an audio book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Actually that is just what I did. I listen to audios while I work. Scanning files is pretty much boring. So this keeps me going. The better the audio book, the more I get done. With this book I sat and listened and worked the full length and was surprised it was over so soon.

Any additional comments?

Why oh why did they have to Abridge this book? It's not that long a story to start with. Someone get the story put out in a full version. Please???

One of my favorite Trek Stories
