[edit] Summary
- From the book jacket
- The Borg – half organic being and half machine, they are the most feared race in the known galaxy. In their relentless quest for technological perfection, they have destroyed entire star systems, enslaved countless peoples, and, in a single brutal attack, decimated Starfleet's mightiest vessels. Only a final desperate gambit by Captain Picard and the U.S.S. Enterprise crew stopped the Borg from conquering the entire Federation. And now they have returned.

Years after Wolf 359, when the Federation successfully fought off a Borg invasion, Picard must go face to face with them again.
[edit] Background Information
- This novel indicates that the planet killer from TOS: "The Doomsday Machine" was designed to combat the Borg; destroying dead planets left in the Borg's wake and then using its anti-proton beam to destroy encountered Borg cubes.
- Tholians and Commander Loskene make an appearance from "The Tholian Web". Loskene is personally annoyed by another USS Enterprise and also asks if Spock is on the ship. Picard thinks how Tholians are unaware of humanoid lifespan, indicating that Spock is already dead which is proved untrue by "Unification I".
