First Contact

By John Vornholt

From the deepest, darkest reaches of space came the greatest threat the Federation had ever faced: the BorgTM. Half organic/half mechanical, the Borg were relentless and bent on conquering and "assimilating" all intelligent life; a single Borg vessel destroyed 39 Federation starships, decimating Starfleet.

Only the courage and determination of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew prevented the Borg from striking at the heart of the Federation and Earth itself in the year 2367. Picard and the USS EnterpriseTMwere able to score a stunning victory against the Borg.

But all that has changed, and the Borg are back...

Stronger and more dangerous than ever, they are ready to launch a new attack against the Federation, one that threatens its past...present...and future. Once again, Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Lieutenant Commander Data and the rest of the crew must face their greatest foe in a startling confrontation that will take them across time and put them face-to-face with their relentless enemy, revealing the Borg Collective's deadliest secret...and its true face.

Reviews for First Contact

[Leanne M. Porter · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Great book that lets you relive the events and characters of Star Trek: First Contact. To my great disappointment however, I discovered that this book is an abridged version - most of it is missing. I would like to read the full version to get the extra detail and characterisation that you expect from a novelisation of a movie, but this reduced version omitted all of that. I feel ripped off!
