Before Dishonor (Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Second Decade #4) 
In over two centuries, the Federation has never encountered a greater threat. Twice Starfleet assembled and threw countless starships to stand against them. The Borg were stopped, the price paid in blood. Humanity breathed a sigh of relief, assuming it was safe. And with the destruction of the transwarp conduits, the Federation believed that the killing blow had finally been struck against the Borg.
Driven to the point of extinction, the Borg continue to fight for their very existence, for their culture. They will not be denied. They must not be stopped. The old rules and assumptions regarding how the Collective should act have been dismissed. Now the Borg kill first, assimilate later.
When the Enterprise manages to thwart them once again, the Borg turn inward. The dark places that even the drones never realized existed are turned outward against the enemy they have never been able to defeat. What is revealed is the thing that no one believed the Borg could do.
This is literally the worst Star Trek novel I have read. I felt like the voices of nearly ever character were inconsistent, often blending together and never felt distinct or appropriate. The plot grows steadily more and more ridiculous as the story progresses. It didn't even capture a campy fun spirit. It was just convoluted and a mess that got more and more terrible as it went on. I won't spoil the plot, but the book builds up a pretty significant threat but never moves beyond a micro
I liked this story. was interesting how picard spock and crew worked to get the planet killer from The doomsday machine to fight the borg

What in the world possessed the author to kill off a main character from a different series? The book itself is well written. Just can't enjoy the story.
This one was just OK. I like that it advanced the ongoing plot of what's happening with the Borg in the area and the outcome of Picard's punishment following the events of Resistance. It was just weird that the book doesn't take place on the Enterprise or with any of the TNG characters until about 1/3 of the way through the book. Quite odd for a TNG book (except Articles of the Fed, which was clear up front that would be the case). It was cool to get a lot of familiar characters involved though
This is the sequel to Star Trek: Resistance by Peter David, and you should read that one first. Resistance references events in the Star Trek movies First Contact and Nemesis and the 6th season of Deep Space Nine.There are some spoilers to the novel Star Trek: Vendetta by Peter David, though you don't have to have read that book to read this one.*****My main issue with this book is that I really like the relationship between Kathryn Janeway and Chakotay.

An enemy so intractable that it cannot be reasoned with. The entire race thinks with one mind and strives toward one purpose: to add our biological distinctiveness to their own and wipe out individuality, to make every living thing Borg.In over two centuries, the Federation has never encountered a greater threat.

(Original review: http://hill-kleerup.org/blog/2008/04/...)Peter David has written a lot of very entertaining and well-crafted Star Trek novels. This, alas, is not one of them. Overall: FairStory: FairRe-Readability: FairCharacters: Fair Story: This book, part of the new Next Generation novels, is a sequel to "Resistance". Unfortunately, that book was written by J.M. Dillard, and David tries, but cant quite manage, to pick up the threads from the prequel and carry them along.The Borg are backThis is literally the worst Star Trek novel I have read.
