Louie the Mustache Matos's Reviews > Q-in-Law

Q-In-Law by Peter David is a Star Trek: The Next Generation Novel #18. Full disclosure: I love Peter David as a writer, but I loathe Q as a villain. Give me Klingons, and Romulans, or even the Borg, but in this novel, there is neither hide nor hair of those races. On the other hand, the Tizarin are a race of spacefaring merchants. The two most powerful families who have been financial rivals for decades are set to be joined via marriage.

Capt. Picard has been tasked with the joyous responsibility of performing the ceremony, and the Enterprise will host the celebrations. Among the dignitaries, Lwaxana Troi, the Betazed ambassador is onboard to represent her people, but somewhere along the line, Q makes an appearance and Lwaxana Troi becomes enamored with Q. Suddenly, it may not just be the Tizarin that hear wedding bells. Well-written, of course with a captivating story that pulled me in, in spite of the unlikeable Q. This is another great Star Trek novel.
