During this \"first encounter,\" Picard saved Guinan's life, a favor she would never forget. \u003cbr\u003e Five centuries later, Captain Picard, now commander of the \u003ci\u003eStarship Enterprise\u003c\/i\u003e ™, brought Guinan aboard as the ship's \"bartender.\" The hope was that her wisdom and inner peace would provide a moral grounding for Picard's crew as they experienced the dangers of space. \u003cbr\u003e Because he hadn't yet made his trip through time, Picard had no knowledge of his nineteenth-century meeting with Guinan. \u003cbr\u003e But he did remember a different first encounter with the mysterious El-Aurian -- a tumultuous adventure in which Picard and Guinan would risk their lives in a maze of interplanetary intrigue, with the future of the known universe at stake. \u003cbr\u003e This is the story of that fateful meeting, and of a Guinan very different from the woman we think we know -- a person wracked by pain and longing, shaken to the roots of her soul. \u003cbr\u003e A Guinan who yearns for oblivion.","brand":"Pocket Books\/Star Trek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126488875248,"sku":"9780743448550","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780743448550_p0.jpg?v=1763632422","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780743448550","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
