Synopsis

The official novelization of the widely acclaimed major motion picture based on Star Trek: The Next Generation!

From the deepest, darkest reaches of space came the greatest threat the United Federation of Planets had ever faced: the Borg, a half-organic, half-mechanical species relentlessly bent on conquering and “assimilating” all intelligent life into their collective. Only through the courage and determination of the USS Enterprise crew was Captain Jean-Luc Picard able to be rescued from his own abduction and assimilation by the Borg and this alien menace prevented from destroying Earth itself.

Now, several years later, the Borg are back and more dangerous than ever, launching a new attack against the heart of the Federation—one that simultaneously threatens Earth’s past, present, and future. As Captain Picard and the Enterprise crew risk their lives alongside unexpected allies, they must all stand against their greatest foe in a startling confrontation across time, even as the Borg Collective’s deadliest secret and its true face are finally revealed…

I’ve been reading all the Trek movie novelizations in order. I liked this one and enjoyed the book more than the movie. There’s lots of cool detail and the story reads well. I think the best Trek novelization is Wrath of Khan, where the movie is a jumping off point for the book. This one stays close......more

Goodreads review by Corey on February 18, 2023

Other than the inconsistency of first contact, this was a well written novelisation of a fantastic Star Trek story. The inconsistency could’ve been fixed by one more pass in the editing process. According to Star Trek, first contact was made on April 5, 2063. When the Enterprise arrives in the past,......more
