Before Dishonor?

Any book with the Borg makes for a great read in my opinion.
Got my copy on the way to Baltimore.
The best part of the review...
:thumbsup:
Good news indeed. 
The last time I checked Barnes & Noble, they didn't have it. Hopefully it will be there the next time I go over.

Wow, it didn't realize we'd gotten that far into the month already. I'm gonna have to remember to keep an eye out for it when I go shopping next.
How exactly is it a sequel to Vendetta? Because if it's events play an important role in the story I'm going want to try track down a copy of it. I know that books fill in the important facts from previous stories, but I still like to have read said story so I can completely understand what they are talking about.

So I guess I should read Vendetta before I read this. Speaking of which, would anyone recommend that I read the Peter David Q books before I read Q&A?
They're awesome books, and I highly recommend them in general; but they're not at all necessary for or urgently relevant to Q&A. So I'd say no, you don't need to read them first.
No sign of Before Dishonor here in Providence, RI.
I don't know how much it really means in terms of popularity but, Before Dishonor is actually up to #421 in the entire books section of Amazon.com, which puts it at #17 in general sci-fi/fantasy. All I know is it's the highest I've seen a Trek book get in quite some time.
Sequel or not, I would recommend this anyway. Vendetta is an awesome book. I wonder if Delcara and her planet-killer gizmo make a comeback?
I can't wait to read this book now too. I guess I will be on the look out for it myself. This is the last TNG book for the year, besides Slings and Arrows right? I read Slings and Arrows on friday night and it was pretty good. Kind of made me think it was a short book through.
That is what I was hoping for.
I phoned my comic and SF shop today and was told that maybe they will get the book this Friday.
I can`t wait!
Might be pushing it if there were a third long-lost device! It's great to read Vendetta now anyway, to look at it with hindsight. Long before First Contact and Voyager, it had a female Borg, an attempt to reintegrate a "rescued" Borg into humanity, the Borg trying to make deals to fight a superior foe (before Scorpion), an obsessed El-Aurian before Generations...
^ And Vastator of Borg (a former Ferengi)!
Vendetta was fantastic, and Peter David so called some of the Borg stuff. And it really wouldn't take a whole lot to retcon it in with what we know about the Borg.
Also, I know that it's wrong, but I can't help picturing Ariel from The Buried Age as looking a lot like Guinan's sister (can't remember her name right now). I'm not sure why that is, but Ariel gave me the same vibe. (At first, anyways. )
I can't wait for Before Dishonor.
The main thing I can see is that Reannon is a blank slate in the book, whereas the Borg reacquire their own personality upon separation from the Collective in TNG and Voyager. But I seem to remember Deanna saying that Reannon was severly traumatized by her experience, which could explain her reaction. Poor Reannon.
)I can't wait for Before Dishonor.
Delcara was carefully described as Guinan's "soul sister", not a blood relative. IIRC, Richard Arnold suggested she shouldn't be actually related to Guinan. In fact, was Delcara even an El-Aurian, or just a long-lived alien who'd long ago made her home with El-Aurians?
