The Devil's Heart is a legendary object of unsurpassed power and mystery. Worlds that believe in magic consider it Darkness's mightiest talisman; and worlds of science consider it a lost artifact of some ancient and forgotten race. Some say the Heart enables its possessor to control people's minds and to amass wealth enough for a dozen lifetimes, while others think it capable of raising the dead, perhaps even changing the flow of time itself. But to all, the location of this fabled object has remained a mystery, until now.

There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

A MUST LISTEN!!!
The premise of this story is amusing, entertaining and will capture the imagination from start to finish. In this story, Q tangles with the formidible Mrs Troi and the trials and tribulations kept me laughing through the whole of the recording.
Mr DeLancy, having played Q in the series, does a fantastic job with all the sarcasm and wit the character deserves and Madjel is nothing short of wonderful!

Abridged Audiobook a Disappointment
What would have made Star Trek, The Next Generation: Q-in-Law (Adapted) better?
The abridgment of the book made this far too short and did the book a disservice. Having John de Lancie and Majel Barrett read the roles of all characters, as well as provide narration, was distracting. The music (intended, I assume, as dramatization of the story) was likewise distracting.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The abridgment of the book resulted in the ending being far too sudden. I have read the book, and felt the audiobook's abrupt ending made the story seem juvenile in its presentation. I felt bad for author Peter David.
Would you be willing to try another one of Majel Barrett and John de Lancie ’s performances?
I would be willing to try another of Majel Barrett and John de Lancie's "performances" only because the number of audiobook versions of Star Trek books are surprisingly few, given the large quantity of books written for the different incarnations of Star Trek.
What character would you cut from Star Trek, The Next Generation: Q-in-Law (Adapted)?
The characters in the audiobook were not a problem for me.
Any additional comments?
I purchased this abridged audiobook because there are, sadly, too few audiobook versions of Star Trek books. I much prefer unabridged audiobooks, and was very disappointed with the dramatization of this particular book. I would rather have unabridged Star Trek audiobooks made available and narrated without the distracting music and dramatization of the story.

One of My Faves
Almost 15 years ago I was obsessed with TNG and was browsing the novels and came across a book on tape called Q-in-Law the first thing that caught my eye was the cover there was Q and one Lwaxanna Troi and I thought, "now this ought to be GOOD!" I picked it up and never put it down!
When I saw the thing was narrated by John DaLance and Majel Barrett-Rodenbery (I don't think I spelled that right...) the actors that played Q and Lwaxanna Troi respecticvly. For fans of TNG you can't go wrong when 2 power house characters go head to head over subjects like love and the meaning of life....
Tempers flare and lovers are spurned!! Don't miss two of TNGs most popular reoccuring characters battle it out head to head... can you guess who comes out on top???

Two of my favorite characters
Majel Barrett and John de Lancie in one production? What a treat!
This isn’t a best-of-the-best plot. It’s pretty standard (but enjoyable) fare. What makes it really delightful is the narration. Both voice actors do a superb job, and the writing is really good at capturing the characters. if you want a fun story of Q being an imp and getting some of what he has coming to him, well, look no further!

background sound is too much
I love de Lancie, and I love Majel, but there's a ton of background sound and music that make it really hard to hear what's being said. I really wish there was another version where the background noise was turned down a lot more so I could hear the story better. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to finish the audio book because of it-- I'm probably just going to buy a hardcopy instead.

I have a very battered paperback copy of this but I liked it so much I also decided to buy the audiobook. Good if a little simple plot bought to life realistically as an audiobook.

It was interesting to hear all the characters voiced by two mainly know for a character each. As soon as Laxwan and Q turn up for the same wedding you know sparks will fly, and someone will be learning a lesson they might not want or expect. Very chucklable in places.

Let down by length
The book is a light hearted romp through the 'Star Trek, The Next Generation' genre. Nothing remarkable, but if you like the characters included in the book, then you should enjoy this reading.
What lets it down is the length. It could easily do with being an unabridged version. For that reason alone I have rated it lower overall.
