From the deepest, darkest reaches of space came the greatest threat the Federation had ever faced: the Borg. Half organic/half mechanical, the Borg are relentless and bent on conquering and "assimilating" all intelligent life; a single Borg vessel destroyed 39 Federation starships, decimating Starfleet. Only the courage and determination of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew prevented the Borg from striking at the heart of the Federation and Earth itself in the year 2367. Picard and the USS Enterprise were able to score a stunning victory against the Borg. But all that has changed, and the Borg are back… Stronger and more dangerous than ever, they are ready to launch a new attack against the Federation, one that threatens its past… its present… and its future! Once again, Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Lieutenant Commander Data and the rest of the crew must face their greatest enemy in a startling confrontation …

Review of 'First Contact' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Even though this was an abridged audiobook, it didn't feel like it, and filled in the movie in great and unexpected ways. So, not my favorite movie (that's still Generations!), but loved the book.

5/4/22 - read the whole, unabridged book, and still liked it; there's not a whole heck of a lot that gets added to the movie story, but what there is, is definitely important and wish it was somehow added to the movie itself, mostly that the movie shows Cochrane just basically a drunk that wants to make money. But here, it goes into he's drunk to control his manic mental illness that was controlled (though not cured) before the war but after, since resources were no longer around flourished to the depths it did.
