Star Trek: The Next Generation: IQ

De: John de Lancie, David Peter

Narrado por: John de Lancie

The enigmatic entity known as Q remains one of the greatest mysteries of the universe, yet no one, perhaps, understands Q as well as actor John de Lancie, who has played Q on television for more than a decade. Now de Lancie and Peter David, the bestselling author of such novels as Q-in Law and Q Squared have joined forces to send Q on an unforgettable cosmic odyssey, told from the mischievous trickster's own unique point of view.

The Maelstrom, a metaphysical whirlpool of apocalyptic proportions, is pulling all of reality into its maw, devouring the totality of time and space while bringing together people and places from throughout the universe. The Q continuum pronounces that the end of everything has come, but Q refuses to meekly accept the complete termination of all he has known. Defying the judgment of the continuum, he sets out to derail doomsday at whatever the cost.

Q is joined in his quest by his young son, little q, as well as by two displaced Starfleet officers. Snatched from the USS Enterprise by the inexorable pull of the Maelstrom, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Commander Data have no choice but to accompany Q on a hazardous journey into the very heart of the vortex, where they will encounter wonders and dangers enough to render Q himself speechless. Almost.

But can even Q, assisted by Picard, prevent the Universe as We Know It from literally going down the drain? I, Q is a wild and witty voyage through the secret soul of creation as only Q can tell it!© and (P)1999 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Wonderful!

My husband and I listened to this on a road trip and adored the writing, De Lancie's performance, and everything else about this book! It felt EXACTLY like a Star Trek episode and that's exactly what we wanted!!

Any story with Q in it is bound to be good

John de Lance is a wonderful reader, especially for a story involving Q.

Deceptively captivating

Omnipotent Being Q played by John De Lancie.
His voice and tone as good as you would expect.
The story is good but not great. Very good quality but a bit odd in places over all a good listen. If you have a few hours to spare I will recommend this . But you should not go out of your way to hear it ... Unless you at a de Lancie fan :)

music louder than voice.. really?

I bought this to enjoy listening to go to sleep, I've read the hard copy before and know it's a great story. but the loud woodwind instrument totally ruins it.

Good story, but abridged

Enjoyable, but I feel cheated. Nowhere in the description are we told it’s been abridged! That’s something I want to know upfront, BEFORE I spend either cash or credits on it.
