Product Description:
The Starship Rhea has discovered a cluster of carbon planets that seems to be the source of the quantum energies rippling through a section of space. A landing party finds unusual life-forms inhabiting one of the planets. One officer, Lieutenant T'Ryssa Chen -- a half-Vulcan -- makes a tenuous connection with them. But before any progress can be made, the Rhea comes under attack from the Einstein -- a Starfleet vessel now controlled by the Borg. The landing party can only listen in horror as their comrades are assimilated. The Borg descend to the planet, and just as Chen accepts that she will be assimilated, the lieutenant is whisked two thousand light-years away.
A quantum slipstream -- instantaneous transportation -- is controlled by these beings in the cluster, and in the heart of the cluster there is now a Borg ship. Cut off from the rest of the Borg collective, the Einstein cannot be allowed to rejoin it. For the sake of humanity, the Borg cannot gain access to quantum slipstream technology.
Starfleet Command gives Captain Picard carte blanche: do whatever he must to help the beings in the cluster, and stop the Einstein no matter the cost.

I am a huge fan of TNG relaunch. I enjoyed Death in Winter, Resistance & Before Dishonor, but this book did not match up.
The book starts out ok. Lt. T'Ryssa Chen is aboard the U.S.S Rhea and they run into the Borg and the U.S.S Einstein, and she is sent light years away as she is about to get assimulated by an Entity that we learn about as the book goes along. She is then trasferred to the Enterprise as they go into high warp to engage the Einstein. This is when you meet the ... Read More

So I just finished the Terok Nor series and I have to say it was a difficult transistion. We go from a rich description of a culture and planet to this flat, boring and overplayed storyline. Almost all the DS9 books have so much depth and a continuation of their characters while TNG books have been a recyling of old material and a slidshow of characters. The first part of the book was a recap of the past few books. Yeah, I know what happened. I read them. Please don`t insult our intelligence with ... Read More

Honestly, I did not like this novel at all. Simplistic language, narrowminded dialogues, clichéd characterisations, and most importantly a dull storyline left almost nothing for me to appreciate. I had high hopes for this installment beforehand, since I really liked Bennett's TOS novel "Ex Machina", which I found to be very well written with a tight story.
After several mediocre TNG novels, this is just one more to add to the pile. For me, only Peter David's "Before Dishonor" has been worth ... Read More

"Greater Than the Sum" suffers from "middle child syndrome."
The story is set between last year's 20th anniversary set of TNG novels and this year's big Trek publishing event by David Mack, set to hit stores in October. This leaves the usually reliable Christopher L. Bennett with a conundrum of a book that is supposed to set up the next set of novels and try to reconcile some of the inconsistencies of last year's set of stories, especially the rather disappointing wrap-up novel by Peter David. ...

Bennett is a master Trek novelist. He has the ability to create stories that would fit perfectly as episodes of the series. His characterizations are top notch, and he weaves multiple character plots into the main story line.
What keeps this from being perfect is the Borg. I guess it is just the nature of TNG novels to be Borg fests but to me they are just too Borging. The problem is it has been done to death.
At any rate, the novel is excellent but the subject matter is redundant.
