Q has been everywhere and done everything, but now he's in for a cosmic thrillride beyond even his own astonishingly unlimited imagination. The Maelstrom, a metaphysical whirlpool of apocalyptic proportions, is pulling all of reality into its maw. The Q Continuum pronounces that the end of everything has come, but Q refuses to meekly accept the end of all he has known. Defying the judgment of the Continuum, he sets out to derail doomsday -- at whatever the cost.
