Rating: Summary: STV #6 The Murdered Sun - Extremely well written! Review: "The Murdered Sun" is Star Trek Voyager's premier and most prolific author, Christie Golden's first novel in the Star Trek genre and arguably, among the best of the Voyager novels to date. From this very first novel of hers I found her plot framing, characterizations, pacing and overall writing style to be very enjoyable. Few of the authors during this early period in Star Trek Voyager's run captured the characters as well as Christie Golden does with this novel. Given that continued talent and several other titles in the Voyager series, she was later honored with the opportunity to write the inaugural novels in the Voyager relaunch series, "Homecoming" and "The Farther Shore."The cover art for "The Murdered Sun" is pretty much standard fare for Voyager at the time, if not below standard. The premise: Voyager's sensors indicate a possible wormhole nearby and Captain Janeway is more than eager to investigate, hoping against hope to find a quicker way for her wayward starship to get home. Instead of finding the wormhole, Janeway and crew happen upon the Akerians who are a warlike race and are taking siege to Veruna Four. In order to get to the wormhole, Janeway finds that not only must she protect the innocent inhabitants of Veruna Four but she must risk direct confrontation with the Akerians. What follows from there is, as stated above, one of the best early Star Trek Voyager numbered novels that is well worth taking the time to read. I highly recommend this novel to any and all fans of Star Trek fiction. {ssintrepid}

Rating: Summary: This book is not worth reading Review: as soon as you start reading this book, you'll find out that the auther has very limited knowledge about astro-science, as well as basic startrek-science concepts, not to mention the characterization and the plotline. I am a loyal fan of Voyager, however, I found this book difficult to accept for the reason that both the characterization and the concept of science are illogical. My conclusion is, this book is not worth reading, in fact, it will make you more confused about everything in ST Voyager.
Rating: Summary: THE MURDERED SUN Review: BY FAR THIS IS THE BEST VOYAGER BOOK I HAVE READ TO DATE. AFTER READING THIS YOU REALIZE THE HUMAN SIDE OF PARIS AND SOME OF THE CREW. YOU WILL BE PULLING FOR THEM TO SET ASIDE THE PRIME DIRECTIVE.
Rating: Summary: Nice reading, goes down well... Review: Certainly not the best Voyager book I've ever read, but very good none the less... Really great story that follows Gene Roddenberrys visions of human tollerance. Give it a read, it is certainly worth you while, I really enjoyed it...

Rating: Summary: Skip it! Review: Every bit as lame as the television series is.
Rating: Summary: Nice plot and extremely good suspense up to the end Review: I catalogued this book as one of the best written about Voyager, Chakotay and Paris character analysis is extremely interesting. There are also some new thechnical details about gravity shields and black holes that give more substance to the story.
Rating: Summary: Good read Review: I decided give it 4 stars. I've heard alot about Christie Golden's brilliant writing so I tried one of her books. It was bold and strong. I liked science based stories because I've read lots of astronomy books. I enjoyed it.
