The entire race thinks with one mind and strives toward one purpose: to add our biological distinctiveness to their own and wipe out individuality, to make every living thing Borg. In over two centuries, the Federation has never encountered a greater threat. Twice Starfleet assembled and threw countless starships to stand against them. The Borg were stopped, the price paid in blood. Humanity breathed a sigh of relief, assuming it was safe. And with the destruction of the transwarp conduits, the Federation believed that the killing blow had finally been struck against the Borg. Driven to the point of extinction, the Borg continue to fight for their very existence, for their culture. They will not be denied. They must not be stopped. The old rules and assumptions regarding how the Collective should act have been dismissed. Now the Borg kill first, assimilate later. When the Enterprise manages to thwart them once again, the Borg turn inward. The dark places that even the drones never realized existed are turned outward against the enemy they have never been able to defeat. What is revealed is the thing that no one believed the Borg could do. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Peter David does it again... This book may not be his usual brilliants but it is still a must read.This book had everything... Peter David, The Borg, and the next great adventure after Nemesis were the ingredients of this novel and I couldn't wait. The reviews were mixed but I was sure that I was going to enjoy it. I have read three Peter David novels before this one and that has equaled two five stars and one four stars almost flawless. This novel starts out with Admiral Janeway thinking about her position on Captain Picard from the events of "Resistance", and she finally comes ... Read More Rating: - So-soPeter David is one of the best Trek authors ever. That said, this was not his best showing. Picard is one of the longest serving, most decorated officers in Starfleet history, and yet the admirals who have been his commanding officers for years are once again upset with him for not listening to them and in the process saving Earth. Again. I think Spock showing up helped a lot, and 7 was pretty well written. I am really really disliking the Vulcan counselor. Seriously, ... Read More Rating: - Total break of Borg characterPeter David is an experienced and popular Star Trek author. In this book, however, the exaggeration of Borg capabilities and other gimmicks eclipses the rest of the story. It turns out the Borg cube that is destroyed at the preceding novel has returned to life in a BIG way and proceeds to create havoc. Picard, who is facing a mutiny on the Enterprise must deal with his own crew, his admirals, his ridiculous Vulcan counselor and oh yes ... the Borg - now lead by Janeway. ... Read More Rating:  - PAD Does it Again!Well, after reading the first few reviews on Amazon, I was a little hesitant to dive into this novel, even though PAD is by far my favorite Trek novelist. But, after "Resistance", which I thought was written like a Scholastic book aimed at readers 10-12, and Q & A, which I enjoyed for the most part, although I felt the ending fizzled, I figured things had to get better. And for me, they did. I found this book to be a fantastic read, and this was the first Trek book I've read in awhile that ... Read More Rating: - A pleasant surprise, overallI seldom read Star Trek: The Next Generation novels, but I snap up the Voyager ones. I bought this book after discovering that Seven of Nine and Kathryn Janeway were among its lead characters, and I must say that it's been a pleasant surprise. I've never cared for Peter David's writing style, but he's done a good job of presenting these two Trek women without jarring my Voyager fan sensibilities in any major way. The plot is a familiar and relatively simple one. The Borg are on the move again, ... Read More
