In the distant future, the entire galaxy has been completely assimilated by the Borg and its king ... Locutus! The only hope for the future lies in the past -- in the hands of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise -- as Picard faces off against the Borg collective in one final, terrifying and definitive encounter! - Back cover.

They call themselves the Borg--a half-organic, half-machine collective with a sole purpose: to conquer and assimilate all races. Led by their seductive and sadistic queen, the Borg are headed to earth with a devious plan to alter history. Picard's last encounter with the Borg almost killed him. Now, he wants vengeance.

Kirk and other members of the crew of the original Enterprise attend the launching of the new Enterprise. The ship receives a distress call and they must try to rescue two ships engulfed in a ribbon of energy. Among those saved are Soran and Guinan. Kirk is killed in the process of saving the Enterprise from destruction. Four generations later, Picard receives a distress call and rescues Soran. He tells Picard about the Nexus, that ribbon of energy...

It is 2154. The crew of the starship Enterprise, under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer, has been thrown back in time to an alternate version of 1944, where the Nazi expansion has brought German troops onto U.S. soil.

The Borg, a half-organic, half-machine race, want to conquer and assimilate all races. They are headed to Earth with a plan to alter history, and it is up to Captain Picard and his crew to stop them.
