''I, Q'' is a [[Star Trek Expanded Universe|standalone]] [[Star Trek]] [[Star Trek Novel Verse|novel]] set mainly in [[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation|The Next Generation]] era. Published in 1999, ''I, Q'' was co-authored by Star Trek writer [[Peter David]] and Star Trek actor John de Lancie.
 
The main story is narrated by Q, the character that John de Lancie played in various Star Trek episodes. Q's story begins with him and his family enjoying some [[Villains Out Shopping|deep sea fishing]] at the bottom of a mighty ocean. (The Q family is [[Physical God|omnipotent]], the crushing depths of a mere ocean is nothing to them.) Suddenly a giant fissure opens up on the ocean floor, and a massive whirlpool above it begins to pull everything in the ocean down into the newly formed canyon, including Q's wife and son. Strangely enough, the whirlpool disaster wasn't exclusive to just the one ocean. Every body of water in the galaxy was completely drained into the single canyon, even virtual bodies of water like the holodeck environment Picard and Data were [[Heroes Gone Fishing|fishing]] in. Fortunately, Q was able to save himself, Picard, and Data; unfortunately, Q was unable to save his family, and is now mad as a hornet about their disappearance.
