Well, Shatner came up with a way to deal with that problem, by stating that there are multiple "branches" or "arms" of the Borg collective, just like arms of an octopus. But then he went on to ruin things even further by having Kirk and Picard go blow up the Borg "octopus head". :rolleyes:

I don't recall much about that book... *places it in "reread" pile*

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I remember that story. I had been trying to remove those Kirk books written by Shatner from my memory...

First half of Sandwich's post referenced "The Return" by William Shatner. Really not that great a novel...

But really Shatner is the bomb though.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

I think the Shat just likes to hear about the Shat so he wants more of the Shat.

Actually I thought individual elements of that book were quite fun in an "it's about bloody time!" way - like the commando mission to the Borg, the plot twist/tie-in to that ST movie, etc. :)
