Resumen del Editor

The U.S.S. Enterprise is chosen as the marriage site for a wedding that will unite two powerful rival families of the spacefaring merchant race, the Tizarin. But Captain Picard's happiness is soon cut short by the arrival of the Federation delegate from Betazed: Lwaxana Troi - the mother of the ship's counsellor, Deanna Troi. Despite Lwaxana's nagging presence, the festivities proceed smoothly until the arrival of the notorious and all-powerful being, Q - who has come to examine and challenge the human concept of love. Suddenly, the celebration is in turmoil, the Tizarin families are on the brink of war, and Lwaxana is determined to teach Q a lesson in love that he will never forget.

Enjoyable read!

Would you consider the audio edition of Star Trek, The Next Generation: Q-in-Law (Adapted) to be better than the print version?

I would prefer the printed version of this book rather than the abridged audiobook.

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed this audio book! It was a very whimsical and enjoyable read! It was short and sweet and left me wanting to physically read the book!

Have you listened to any of Majel Barrett and John de Lancie ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've never listened to any other recordings by these performers.

Short but fun

At 90 minutes the book loses a ton of story (obviously). What makes this so much fun is they got the main characters from the book/show to voice their characters. Was like listening to an unaired episode of TNG.

One of my favorite Trek Stories

What did you love best about Star Trek, The Next Generation?

I loved the show and the actors who portrayed the wonderful characters of Next Gen.

What did you like best about this story?

In this story, written by Peter David, I laughed and enjoyed the book the first time I 'READ" the story. Then I heard it was made into an audio with Majel Barrett and John de Lancie reading. I had to get it. And the story rocked... but

What does Majel Barrett and John de Lancie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

What can I say, I loved them on the show and as readers they brought the fun and authenticity to the story. I felt like I could close my eyes and see the story unfold as if it was actually on the screen and not just an audio book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Actually that is just what I did. I listen to audios while I work. Scanning files is pretty much boring. So this keeps me going. The better the audio book, the more I get done. With this book I sat and listened and worked the full length and was surprised it was over so soon.

Any additional comments?

Why oh why did they have to Abridge this book? It's not that long a story to start with. Someone get the story put out in a full version. Please???

background sound is too much

I love de Lancie, and I love Majel, but there's a ton of background sound and music that make it really hard to hear what's being said. I really wish there was another version where the background noise was turned down a lot more so I could hear the story better. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to finish the audio book because of it-- I'm probably just going to buy a hardcopy instead.

Q and Lwaxana: What's Not to Love?

Two of my favorite characters in the same episode! In their own voices! John de Lancie reads all the male character voices, and Majel Barrett reads all the female characters.

Love Q

Absolutely loved this story. Mrs. Troy and Q have remarkable chemistry. Both with unquestionable power making them behave like spoiled children and getting their just deserts. (didn't want to spoil it).

Dope!!!!!

John and Majel made me feel like I was listening to a lost episode of Next Gen, this is a must for any treks that trek.

another fun Star trek book by Master Peter David

I really enjoyed this book it was really fun and also you got to see two characters that you really didn't get to see together I'm in just just a really from book to read in the listen to Peter David's done it again.

Two of my favorite characters

Majel Barrett and John de Lancie in one production? What a treat!
This isn’t a best-of-the-best plot. It’s pretty standard (but enjoyable) fare. What makes it really delightful is the narration. Both voice actors do a superb job, and the writing is really good at capturing the characters. if you want a fun story of Q being an imp and getting some of what he has coming to him, well, look no further!

Awesome book....

I love Peter David... This book has a great sense of humor and excellent story plot. I highly recommend this book to all star trek fans that love Q and Luxanna troy.
