About this audiobook
The enigmatic entity known as Q remains one of the greatest mysteries of the universe, yet no one, perhaps, understands Q as well as actor John de Lancie, who has played Q on television for more than a decade. Now de Lancie and Peter David, the bestselling author of such novels as Q-in Law and Q Squared have joined forces to send Q on an unforgettable cosmic odyssey, told from the mischievous trickster's own unique point of view.
The Maelstrom, a metaphysical whirlpool of apocalyptic proportions, is pulling all of reality into its maw, devouring the totality of time and space while bringing together people and places from throughout the universe. The Q continuum pronounces that the end of everything has come, but Q refuses to meekly accept the complete termination of all he has known. Defying the judgment of the continuum, he sets out to derail doomsday at whatever the cost.
Q is joined in his quest by his young son, little q, as well as by two displaced Starfleet officers. Snatched from the USS Enterprise ™ by the inexorable pull of the Maelstrom, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Commander Data have no choice but to accompany Q on a hazardous journey into the very heart of the vortex, where they will encounter wonders and dangers enough to render Q himself speechless. Almost.
But can even Q, assisted by Picard, prevent the Universe as We Know It from literally going down the drain? I, Q is a wild and witty voyage through the secret soul of creation as only Q can tell it!

It being abbreviated is disappointing, and the pacing is a bit off in the first half, but the second half really profited from all the setups in the first half, so I still thoroughly enjoyed the story. John de Lancie really did a great job making it feel like listening to Q's inner monologue. A recommendation for anyone who enjoys Q episodes.

Wonderfully weird and surreal. For a Q focused story, it's exactly what it needs to be. It can be a bit hard to follow at times, but I can forgive it. John DeLancie's performance here elevates the novel past any of its shortcomings.

We listen to this all the time, the whole family! Hilarious, exciting, fantastically written and of course perfectly narrated!
