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!

    The premise sounded really cool, but the story devolved into something written by someone on an acid trip.

    Good production values though!

    Abridged!! I wish I had read a review before choosing this audio. I didn’t realize it was an abridged version and if I had, I would’ve tried to find another or read the ebook here on Scribd.

    Aside from that issue, I had problems with the production. The background sounds and music were well-chosen, but too loud. I had to really concentrate to hear the narration and be sure I was not missing too much.

    As for the story, it was ok, it jumped around quite a bit and was full of Q’s (albeit typical and amusing) anecdotes. It wasn’t until about half way through that a plot emerged. Plus, I spotted a few illogical plot holes.

    Although it is abridged, it is still a wonderful, well-rounded experience.
    I can only recommend this to everyone who isn't able to read the book or currently looking for an audio book.
