This is another book in the "relaunch" series taking place after the ST:TNG
movie "Nemesis." It's an awesome read, particularly if you've read
"Resistance" by J. M. Dillard (also available on Bookshare.) Here's the jacket
info.

Nearly two decades ago, Jean-Luc Picard took command of the U.S.S. Enterprise
NCC-1701-D. The captain knew it was an honor without equal. His new command
bore the name of Enterprise. The people who had commanded other like-named
starships had gone down in Starfleet's annals. Some officers would be
intimidated, but they would not have been given command of Enterprise.
On her first mission, the Enterprise was sent to Farpoint Station. A simple,
straightforward investigation. Perfect for a crew that had never served
together. Then there was Q. An omnipotent lifeform that seemed bent on placing
obstacle after obstacle in the ship's-and in particular in Picard's-way. And it
hadn't ended with that first mission. When he was least expected, Q would
appear. Pushing, prodding, testing. At times needling captain and crew with
seemingly silly, pointless, and maddening trifles. Then it would turn all too
serious, and the survival of Picard's crew was in Q's hands.
Why was it today that Picard was remembering the day he took command of the
Enterprise-D? Now he commanded a new ship, the Enterprise-E. His crew was
different. There was nothing about Gorsach that in the least resembled
Farpoint. But Picard couldn't shake the feeling that something all too familiar
was going on. All too awful. All too Q.

Enjoy.
