Denise Link's Reviews > The Buried Age

I love ST in all its permutations, so I was disappointed to find this installation tedious. The first half of the book gives us a cardboard middle-aged Picard with low self esteem who somehow has Starfleet cred more suited to the admiral he won't become for decades, plus an entirely unbelievable plot device of a love affair. The second half piles on expository meetings with characters we know from his future, including a wholly unsatisfying backstory for Q. Kindle.
