DeCandido Goodreads Author. Nearly two decades ago, Jean-Luc Picard took command of the U. The captain knew it was an honor without equal. His new command bore the name of Enterprise. The people who had commanded other like-named starships had gone down in Starfleet's annals. Some officers would be intimidated, but they would not have been given command of Enterprise. On her first mission, the Enterprise was sent to Farpoint Station. A simple, straightforward investigation. 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, Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q&A, and maddening trifles. Then it would turn all too serious, and the survival of Picard's crew was in Q's hands. Why was it today that Picard was remembering the day Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q&A took command of the Enterprise -D? Now he commanded a new ship, the Enterprise -E. His crew was different. There was nothing about Gorsach that in the least resembled Farpoint. But Picard couldn't shake the feeling that something all too familiar was going on. All too awful. All too Q. Get A Copy.

I'm short on time again today, so, let me be brief: This was an interesting look at the enigmatic being known as Q. Content Concerns: At least five or six uses each of the h-word and d-word, and almost as many of the a-word; at least one p-word; sci-fi action violence throughout as you'd expect ; references to a sexual relationship between two unmarried characters, though nothing graphic is mentioned. View 1 comment. Apr 03, James Williams rated it it was ok. When I was growing up, I read more than any kid in my classes: and it was almost entirely licensed fiction: Star Trek and Star Wars mostly. Even today, I still maintain quite the collection of these books, even though I rarely indulge. These days, I prefer more original works though I still Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q&A do most of my reading in the speculative fiction genres. The limitations of licensed novels are both stifling and well known: the individual author has no power to grow or change the main characters When I was growing up, I read more than any kid in my classes: and it was almost entirely licensed fiction: Star Trek and Star Wars mostly. The limitations of licensed novels are both stifling and well known: the individual author has no power to grow or change the main characters or world. Every story must end in the same place that it began. Perhaps the author can introduce new characters or locations that are allowed to have an arc: but they must be necessity not impact the characters that the reader actually cares about. You can get Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q&A decent adventure stories with that setup but it's tough to find anything much deeper. Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q&A, there's still a bit Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q&A room in my heart for the occasional bit of licensed work. Sometimes, it can be fun to go on another romp with beloved characters: especially when they've been off-screen for a decade and off of television for far longer. Some romps work out better than others, though. In a lot of ways, this book was set up in the worst possible position. It's licensed, so right off the bat, the author has to tread carefully with regards to the license-holder. It's set within the expanded universe, so characters have moved on or died -- and those that remain seem to have laughably stagnant careers. And then there's the entire conceit behind this particular novel: it's going to answer a universe-and-tv-series-spanding question about just what the show's most beloved rogue has been thinking all this time. It's a tall order. It's a fast and enjoyable read. It Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q&A back all of my favorite characters and lets me spend a little time with them. It even ties up all of Q's shenanigans into a nice cohesive if a bit implausible bow. But I think the mere fact that it's facing such a tall order is the book's downfall. It has to spend time with all of the major characters even if they're off the shipit has to introduce readers to the new characters that are being used to extend the life of the expanded universe franchises, it has to create a universe-spanning threat, it has Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q&A resolve that threat, and it has to wrap up a decade's worth of Q's exploits. And it has to do all of that in under light-reading pages. It doesn't really manage all of that. More authors should aim so highly, especially in the field of licensed novels where the impulse is always to recycle the same old cliches again and again just to cash a check. It's this book's ambition makes me think that it wasn't a callous attempt at cashing in; unfortunately, that evidence is entirely circumstantial. The bulk of this book is shameless fan-service. It largely consists of characters saying "Do you remember that time we It's basically a clip-show in novel form. And those clips take away both pages and pacing from actually telling the story of the book. It's no wonder that the main plot feels rushed and ultimately unfulfilled when so much time is spent recounting events that we all saw on television because who would read a Star Trek book if they weren't already fans? Ultimately, I award this book a lot of points for aiming for the stars; but its execution just could not even begin to match its dreams.

  • EA and Del Rey Announce Novel Based on Popular Command & Conquer Game Series
    EA and Del Rey Announce Novel Based on Popular Command & Conquer Game Series Gaming Universe Expands to New Forms of Media LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2007--Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS) and Del Rey, an imprint of Ballantine Books at the Random House Publishing Group, announced today that Del Rey will publish a novel based on the critically- acclaimed Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars™ computer and videogame on May 29, 2007 in the US and Canada. The novel will release in the U.K. and Germany in the months following. The game is available now for the PC and will be in stores May 10, 2007 for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system. In COMMAND & CONQUER: TIBERIUM WARS™, the novel by Keith R. A. DeCandido, the year is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Tiberium--a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth--is spreading like a radioactive ice age. The Global Defense Initiative, a high-tech alliance of the world's most advanced nations, is fighting to contain Tiberium, but Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of the Brotherhood of Nod has other plans for Earth. Kane's secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. In the midst of battles throughout the world, a third alien race emerges, and all-out war rages over Tiberium. The fate of the planet rests in the balance. "We're excited to expand the Command & Conquer franchise to a new form of media and offer a depth to the underlying fiction of the game series like never before," said Patrick O'Brien, VP of Business Affairs at EA.

  • A Study of Graphic Novel Cataloging Records. PUB DATE Feb 92 NOTE 93P.; Master's Thesis, Kent State University
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 352 976 IR 054 326 AUTHOR Andelson, Eric TITLE A Study of Graphic Novel Cataloging Records. PUB DATE Feb 92 NOTE 93p.; Master's Thesis, Kent State University. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses Masters Theses (042) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Bibliographic Utilities; *Cataloging; College Libraries; Higher Education; Library Research; Online Catalogs; Online Searching; Research Methodology; Statistical Analysis; *Subject Index Terms; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS Bowling Green State University OH; *Graphic Novels; OCLC; Statistical Package for the Social Sciences ABSTRACT Graphic novels are a blending of words and art in which the illustrations bear the same relationship to the text that a film carries to its screenplay. The hypothesis of this research is that, as a new form of literature, graphic novels will display inconsistent cataloging. Methodology consisted of searching the titles generated from Bowling Green State University's subject heading, Graphic Novels, against OCLC records. There are 191 titles, with 299 OCLC records and 3,416 holdings. All records for the same title were downloaded from OCLC, encoded, and entered into SPSS. Statistical analysis such as tabulating and frequency distribution are utilized in analyzing the cataloging records. Definitions, examples, AACR2 cataloging rules, subject headings, added entries, and classification numbers clarify the format as well as the cataloging of graphic novels. One conclusion is that there are consistencies as well as inconsistencies in the cataloging record. Another is that graphic novels are not automatically cGnsidered juvenile works. Several recommendations based on the study findings are offered: (1) "chiefly ill." should be used in the physical field; (2) a subject heading "Graphic Novels" should be assigned in order to bring out this form of literature;(3) libraries may want to class graphic novels together locally; and (4) more individuals and roles should be listed in the statement of responsibility or notes.
