Spock Vs Q

Written by Leonard Nimoy and Alien Voices

Narrated by John de Lancie

As the end of the twentieth century nears, an asteroid is hurtling toward Earth. When it hits, the impact will result in the end of all life on the planet.

Ambassador Spock travels back in time to subtly warn Earth's inhabitants of impending doom while calling into question humanity's priorities. However, before the truth is told, the all-powerful being Q appears and reminds Spock that he is prohibited from interfering in Earth's history. Besides, Q doesn't see mankind as something worth saving.

This initial encounter between the two legendary characters explodes into a battle of wits as Spock cleverly befuddles Q with his own words. As barbs are exchanged, and humanity's flaws and wonders are laid bare, Spock's logic just may convince Q that humans are indeed a species worthy of salvation, but will he be too late?

Reviews for Spock Vs Q

[ffortuna_6 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I must have said "How I wish Leonard Nimoy would do audiobooks!" dozens of times before I discovered these CDs. I just love his voice so much, especially now that he's older, and these CDs let me listen to him in the car!That aside, they're hilarious. Spock and Q debating the meaning of life? I'm there! Their characters play off of each other very well, I nearly wrecked the car by the end I was laughing so hard.

A small gem of Trekdom that I had no idea existed. And, as a self-proclaimed Trekkie I'm surprised it's taken me this long to discover it.

Audio recording of two live (but rehearsed/written) performances by John de Lancie ("Q") and Leonard Nimoy ("Spock"), as the characters bounce off each other. Extremely well done!

One of my favorite audiobooks of all time. Spock and Q were my favorite Star Trek characters.

Not as funny as the first, I didn't think. I enjoyed it, did have a few chuckles, but the other offered more depth and insight into the characters. This one ... just played with the deck switched. Not as good.

This short (approx. 1 hour) audio drama was fantastic. Spock and Q meet up again after Q had been ricked into saving the planet earth from an asteroid that spock went back in time to warn humans about, just so he could get Spock's autograph. Spock shakes Q's hand and something mysterious happens, the audience disappears and somehow Q and Spock seem to switch personality(Q being logical and Spock being all over the place, pretty hilarious) and are transported, to an asteroid speeding towards a planet. Sure the gag is old, but its well worth an hour of your time. My only complaint, is its only an hour. I could have had adventures like this for 6 hours or more.
