   Summary

   Q has completed his assessment of humanity. He is appalled. Outraged at the needless tragedy. And he's determined to finally put his powers to good use.

   Jean-Luc Picard has never needed to be talked into saving people or the fate of the Galaxy, but this time, it’s Q asking. When he agrees, he finds himself on a wild, topsy turvy ride through time.
