Resumen del Editor

Cadet Qaylan Furlong's father was killed by the Borg in the battle of Wolf 359. Now, 10 years later, the Borg are attacking again, and Starfleet won't allow Cadet Furlong to stay aboard the Starship Cheyenne to avenge his father's death - but Q will. He'll do better than that, in fact, taking the cadet back in time and putting him on the same ship as his father to give Qaylan a chance to save him - and the entire Federation - on a mission of extreme danger, difficult choices, and suprising results.

Video Game Dialog With Narration

So…yeah…this is the audio track of the CD-ROM video game - the dialog, music, and sound effects - repackaged with some ho-hum, sometimes clumsy narration added to it, changing YOU the player into the narrator’s character.
All the times Q allows the narrator to try again, are just times the player died and the game went back to the last save point. Really.
All that said, it’s not terrible. It’s entertaining, but it doesn’t quite work.
Also…NOT directed by Jonathan Frakes. At all.

Awesome CD ROM game, Awesome Audiobook adventure!!

Classic TNG all the way!!! I loved this game back in the 2000s and I love the audiobook adventure based on the game!!!

great story

well told and very inventive story! well worth a listen. thank you very much.

Interesting Trek story.

First thing, Audible says it's a 2 hour story. It is NOT!
1 hour and 13 minutes long, but then looking at similar Star Trek audio books, they're less than an hour.
I did enjoy this short story. Cast, sound effects are all very good. John de Lancie is the only one who can truly be "Q" and the story keeps his character as Q in the Next Generation. Not bad!

Not 2 hrs 15 minutes long, try 75 minutes long

Review 101. Star Trek Borg by Hilary Bader, narrated by Howard McGillin featuring John deLancie and a Full Cast.

This is the audio book of one of my favourite old Star Trek games, Star Trek Borg which was released in 1996.

While maintaining a mostly similar story to the game, the main difference is that the main character (Cadet Qaylan Furlong) is actually narrating a log entry more than six months after the events of the game which the player has a hand in completing.

I found it very enjoyable to listen to this book as it was slightly different to the original story, and John De Lancie as Q was just as funny as I remembered from playing the game. I found myself laughing at several parts because of his dialogue.

I did enjoy listening to this book even though it is exceptionally short (75 minutes), but it isn't something that I will listen to again so have returned it to get a refund of the audible credit I used.

If you are a fan of the Star Trek Borg interactive adventure game, then you will enjoy this book.

4*
****

Epic fun

The best Q book I’ve heard so far. Loads of fun. All the narration is top notch, and the story is clever and keeps you laughing. Will definitely listen to this one again.

Big fan of the game

Had no idea this existed. I loved the game so I was very pleased to discover this!

BORG LITE

We got to taste the Borg life in this book but the Starfleet story is a bit weak. Q however is a scream as always and it is interesting to play with the space-time continuum. If u like close battle action then u will like this story.

This Game Didn't Translate Well

Going from a multidimensional, interactive game into a linear story requires finesse. But not here.

One of the Greatest

Loved this book. The writers of Stars Trek books never cease to amaze me and remind me why I love them.
