Perfect for a crew that had never served together. Then there was Q; an omnipotent lifeform that seemed bent on placing obstacle after obstacle in the ship's--and in particular in Picard's--way. And it hadn't ended with that first mission. When he was least expected, Q would appear. Pushing, prodding, testing. At times needling captain and crew with seemingly silly, pointless, and maddening trifles. Then it would turn all too serious, and the survival of Picard's crew was in Q's hands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy was it today that Picard was remembering the day he took command of the \u003ci\u003eEnterprise\u003c\/i\u003e-D? Now he commanded a new ship, the \u003ci\u003eEnterprise\u003c\/i\u003e-E, with a different crew. But Picard couldn't shake the feeling that something all too familiar was going on. All too awful. All too Q.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeith R.A. DeCandido was born and raised in New York City to a family of librarians.
