And finally...

			Author's Note: Explanations


	Some of you may be concerned about Worf's behavior, Re: Not attacking
the Klingons.  This behavioral change is not unprecedented in Star Trek and
is of the same form as Spock's abnormal behavior in "All Our Yesterdays," where
he reverts back to the behavior of Vulcans of that time period.  Klingons of 
the time period Worf and crew were in would not, in my opinion, fight against 
someone who they saw as doing their duty.

	McCoy's advocacy of the Galaxy class starships stems from his not
knowing what time period (stardate) the "Houdini" comes from.  He knew it was
really named the Enterprise and wanted to speed up development of it so that 
it could go back in time to destroy the Borg.  (See below.)  This is the reason
for the lack of an extensive testing program.  (Captain of the "Yamato," 
"Contagion.")

	The Borg were included in the book to put an extension on Khan, add
something about the effect of the Genesis wave, and fix something I found
hard to believe about "Best of Both Worlds Part II."  I did not think that
one Borg ship alone could defeat 40 Federation starships.  It made sense to me
that their was another Borg ship somewhere.  This ship, stranded for many years
on Wolf-359C, beamed Locutus aboard just as the other Borg ship was destroyed,
finished off the Federation fleet, and then headed for Earth.  By this time,
Khan's personality had been purged by the Borg.

	And that's all I wrote, but before I go, thanks to friends and family
members for their support, and to everyone who consented to appear in this 
work: Chris Gawron, Jill Aures, Maggie Harris, Dave Callari, Phyllis Rubino,
and any others I may have forgotten over the past year of writing.

	Hailing frequencies closed.  Live long and prosper, as we watch the
human adventure continue into the 3rd century and beyond.

	What's left to say...
	Time permitting, I'll start on a sequel soon...
The Borg in the Q continuum, Q as a Borg, what a concept...
Anyone got a good title? ("Q and A" is a bit lame, need something good for the
next book. #B-)
Enjoy...
