In this thrilling adventure, you will be dropped deep into
another spectacular culture - the Borg, the strange and powerful
race eager to assimilate the Federation.

Cadet Qaylan Furlong's father was killed by the Borg in the
battle of Wolf 359. Now, ten years later, the Borg are attacking
again, and Starfleet won't allow Cadet Furlong to stay aboard the
Starship Cheyenne to avenge his father's death - but Q
will. He'll do better than that, in fact, taking the cadet back
in time ten years and putting Qaylan on the same ship as his
father to give him a chance to save him - and the entire
Federation - on a mission of extreme danger, difficult choices,
and surprising results.

John deLancie (in his role as "Q") headlines a
Star Trek cast and crew in this chilling experience of the
future and the adventures of the heroic Starfleet officer who
must save the Federation!© and (P)1996 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc. Adventure First Contact Military Science Fiction Space Opera

I never played the "game" on which this recording is based. I'm not certain (based on this audiobook) that it was much more than a "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" experience - there isn't a great deal of "skill" involved in the gameplay - but it would undoubtedly be fun. Regardless, this is a very cool foray into manipulating the Space-Time Continuum to relive one of the most exciting events in the Star Trek canon. The writing is decent (capturing Q's unempathetic arrogance perfectly, for example) but appears to follow a fixed set of script options rather than progressing organically. Don't expect a conventional "book".

This recording is put together with a full voice cast - and they are all admirably professional. Howard McGillan, for example, does a very nice job narrating the overall events and portraying Cadet Qaylan Furlong on his travel back in time to the battle at Wolf 359. His emotiveness brings to life the desperation of someone watching his father repeatedly die. John de Lancie (who plays Q on the TNG program) recreates his enigmatic character perfectly. The sound engineering team at Simon & Schuster Audio add exciting sound effects and music judiciously to generate a cinema-quality atmosphere (without getting carried away).

Taken altogether, I would give this fun adventure 8.5 stars, but it's deceptively short (about half the time of the 2hrs15 advertised). I feel somewhat cheated.. 2 stars out of 10, I guess. Still, I need to play this game.

Entertaining, but Half the Advertised Length
