Q Continuum
Q is a fictional character, as well as the name of a race, in ''Star Trek'', appearing in the '' Next Generation'', '' Deep Space Nine'', '' Voyager'', '' Lower Decks'', and ''Picard'' series and in related media. The most familiar Q is portrayed by John de Lancie. He is an extra-dimensional being of unknown origin who possesses immeasurable power over time, space, the laws of physics, and reality itself, being capable of altering it to his whim. Despite his vast knowledge and experience spanning untold eons, he is not above practical jokes for his personal amusement, for a Machiavellian or manipulative purpose, or to prove a point. He is said to be almost completely omnipotent and he is continually evasive regarding his true motivations. The name "Q" applies to the names of the individuals portrayed (all male and female characters refer to each other as "Q"); it also applies to the name of their race and to the "Q Continuum" itself – an alternate dimension accessible to onl ...

''Q-Squared'' (full title '' Star Trek: The Next Generation – Q-Squared'') is a non-canon ''Star Trek'' novel by Peter David. It spent five weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in 1994. ''Q-Squared'' was released in July 1994 as one in a series of "Giant Novels" for the ''Star Trek'' line from Pocket Books.

Plot Trelane, who first appeared in the original ''Star Trek'' episode "The Squire of Gothos", is revealed to be a member of the Q Continuum.

Audiobook
An audiobook (or a talking book) is a recording of a book or other work being read out loud. A reading of the complete text is described as "unabridged", while readings of shorter versions are abridgements. Spoken audio has been available in schools and public libraries and to a lesser extent in music shops since the 1930s. Many spoken word albums were made prior to the age of cassettes, compact discs, and downloadable audio, often of poetry and plays rather than books. It was not until the 1980s that the medium began to attract book retailers, and then book retailers started displaying audiobooks on bookshelves rather than in separate displays. Etymology The term "talking book" came into being in the 1930s with government programs designed for blind readers, while the term "audiobook" came into use during the 1970s when audiocassettes began to replace phonograph records. In 1994, the Audio Publishers Association established the term "audiobook" as the industry standard. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
