- Odd, I have heard the totally opposite report of this book - that it is
- absolutely terrible. This from a person who is a Q fan too! Since my
- friend is usually on the mark, I decided against getting the book.
- Not that I normally purchase Trek books, but since I like Q (almost the
- only really interesting character apart from Data and Ensign Ro(*)) I
- actually considered buying it. Now I don't know what to think.
-
- The only ST:TNG novel I have is Metamorphosis by Jean Lorrah, which is
- *the* Data novel. Have your cake and eat it too.
-
- (*) Ensign Ro Laren joins the crew in the 5th season.
-
- BTW, if you like Q, check out QAS, the Q Appreciation Society, in
- Queensland. They put out a fanzine, Quizine, which is hilarious!
- Let's see, oh, darn, I left my address book at home!
- I'll post the address later.
