X-Men and Star Trek: The Next Generation; it makes for an enjoyable book if you don't try to take it too seriously.
This is actually the sequel to a short comic entitled “Second Contact”, which has the hilarious premise of the crew of the Enterprise and the X-men teaming up to defeat a time traveling villain and setting right the time paradoxes he's created. If you've ever wanted to see Nightcrawler and Wolverine tear into some Borg, I'd suggest tracking down the comic as it's very entertaining with very nice art! But it is not necessary to read it to enjoy the book.
Overall the book itself is enjoyable. The flimsy excuse of an obscure planet suddenly having a mutant problem is just that- a flimsy excuse to write this really fun book. The writing is well rounded, even if a few of the characters come off a little flat, and while the plotline is predictable, it's still interesting. If you like either TNG, or the X-men, or just want to drive your geekiness level to the extreme, this is good read!
why is so little of this book actually about characters from X-Men and/or Star Trek??? it's a book, don't tell me the actors were unavail

This book is not good but extra an extra star for all the Prof X and Captain Picard comparisons.
