Q's Guide to the Continuum

By Robert Greenberger and Michael Jan Friedman

Book Overview

Captain's log, Stardate Eleventy-leven eighty six point negative nine. Charted a blah blah blah with my blah blah crew today, collecting samples of blah blah blah...
Aren't you tired of surveying all the brave new worlds and startling new civilizations of the galaxy with the safe, polite, politically correct members of the Federation? After all, they only have fun when they break their own rules and leave a communicator behind on a planet of curious mimics, or travel through time to play with tribbles. Wouldn't you rather travel the stars with me?
Who am I? Spelled the same way front as back: Q You've heard of me. All-seeing, all-knowing, dashing beyond comparison. The Q have been here since the dawn of time (and in some cases, a little before that, but that's another story), and we've seen it all. But I've put it all together in a form you can understand. The title? Q's Guide to the Continuum (Well, what did you think I would call it? Picard's Incessant Droning About Stellar Gas Formations?)
Want to know what the longest-lived race in the galaxy is? It's here. Ever wonder who is the greatest mass murderer of all time? I know that, too. And are you dying to find out if a certain relative of mine ever played the harpsichord while dressed like a Victorian nobleman? Well, there are some things I won't tell you, but the rest will be revealed in Q's Guide to the Continuum (Love that title, don't you?) Prepare to be enlightened

Customer Reviews

horrible

this is just a rehash of the tv series and very unsatisfying. i was expecting a non road trip down the series but i guess creativity is something missing from the star trek universe now.

An interesting trivia book!

A somewhat interesting trivia book with several black & white photo's thrown in for posterity's purpose. This book present's a slightly more acidic Q than usual, no big deal though. It is definitely overpriced for what you get. Definitely one for the collector's and maybe Star Trek novices who want to find out a little about Star Trek history without trudging through the encyclopedia.

The Best!

The best book I have read in a long time. Amazingly funny! Totally cool!

Amazingly Funny

Very Funny! The best book I have read in a long time! It has humerous statements and small quotes. Like The "Universes Most Patient Human."Extremely Funny!

Extremely funny! A wonderful book with tons of information from Q's point of view. Q has always been my favorite character on Star Trek next to Spock and Data. Some other person said this book was no good. Well They're wrong!
