Summary: A disappointing sequel
Review: I suppose that if you've read Homecoming you have no choice but to read the Farther Shore. Unfortunately, I quickly felt that I was reading this sequel out of necessity rather than for pleasure. The problem lies with Golden's emphasis on secondary characters. I'm sorry, but I didn't buy a Voyager book to read about Harry's girlfriend and all of her cohorts that Voyager's crew hasn't seen for the past 7 years, if ever, to the neglect of the crew. The plot eventually comes back around to our heroes, but by that point I was just about ready to put the book down and forget about it in favor of the Voyager DVD set. And that's a shame, considering how much I enjoyed Christie's Homecoming. Here's hoping the author's next venture follows the Homecoming model rather than that of the Farther Shore.

Summary: Doesn't come close to living up to its potential
Review: I was disappointed by part one and hoped that this book would round up all the elements of the first and make them make sense. It failed to do that and worst of all, the author failed to make me care about what happened to Janeway and her fellow conspirators. The ending is bland and forgettable. Here's to hoping that CG will do the characters justice in some future book and (crossing my fingers!) finally resolve the Janeway-Chakotay relationship, which has been broadly hinted at in the two previous "Voyager" novels by CG.

Summary: Entertaining but that's it.
Review: I wrote a review about the first part of this two part series, and i wrote it after having read both books. This book is the second part. I wrote in that review that the book was disapointing because of a few factors. First off, the star trek universe and all of its authors and writers have built such an amazing dreamworld of characters, who's center point is Starfleet and the Federation of Planets. They have, over the span of years, written of their morals and how great a people they are. In this two part series most of what we've known and thought about them is sort of thrown out the door. They are, for the most part of this two book series, the villain. I was disapointed in the first book more than this one. This one at least had content and plot that the reader could follow. It ties up most of the sub-plots, some better written than other, and finally finishes quite well. I found the use of Data, from TNG to be pretty good. I found the use of both plots, Borg Domination of Earth, and Holographic Protest to be good premises for stories. The way in which the protagonists won in the end was a little too easy. Finally i will conclude by saying that the two books are entertaining, and i would suggest them to any voyager fan. I would make note, however, that i felt disapointed with the use of voyagers homecoming. I thought their arrival would be much better and more dramatic than the mini party and bland reciept they were given. I know this is just a book, and just a story about fiction and people that don't exist, but i like the series, and people who followed the series will be disapointed with this story, if only to some degree.

Summary: Thrills continue
Review: I've rated most of this book along with my review for Homecoming.In this book Libby's intentions and allegiance become known. For a while you really don't know if she's simply a pawn or if she's apart of the madness. I especially liked her role in the two stories. I want to add in addition that the Belanna story was nice, but I didn't like what they did there much at all. Belanna could have been used for her engineering skills instead of creating what seemed to me a story simply to remove her from the main story. This one negative however, doesn't detract from the fact that the story itself is great. I still give it 5 stars.

Summary: Call the Clean Up Crew!
Review: Okay, not worth the wait! This book was hollow and destructive. It felt like a first draft to me, there are holes and it seems so superficial in most places. Without giving much away: The Borg situation turns out pretty neat, intersting idea but leaves alot of questions. There's not much interaction between the crew. Tom, Chakotay and Tuvok have a few superficial lines, the Doctor doesn't have much to add, and BElanna missed the whole thing! The spotlight seems pretty well divided between Janeway, Seven, and some of the Intelligence characters. Which is okay, but the whole book was just lacking. There's no personal interaction whatsoever, and none of the family/friends we met last month. And adding Data didn't help at all. It seems like the author wanted to be the final word, the end of the saga. Anyone who wants to write more Voyager stories containing all the crew has some serious clean-up to do before they can even get theirs off the ground. Read this, because you'll be missing a piece if you don't, but I just plain didn't like it. Disapointment! :(

Summary: Better than the first, but that's not saying much.
Review: Once again Ms. Golden places too much emphasis on secondary characters until the latter end of the book. I mean it is interesting to read about these characters, but at the same time with the Voyager TV finale leaving us wanting more I wanted the book to be more about the Voyager crew. The ending is typical, and the climax is all too predictable. The only thing I really found interesting was the revelation of the true form of one of the secondary characters.

Summary: A little disappointing
Review: Sad to say, this book was disappointing. I thought Homecoming got the Voyager Realunch off to a good start, but this book kind of lets you down. The focus shifts from the characters interacting with familiar friends and relatives on Earth, to an attempt to unearth a coverup at Starfleet regarding the Borg. The B'Elanna "B"-story was predictable and dull, although it was refreshing because it had nothing to do with the main plot line. The main plot was, however, completely unbelievable. The reason given for "why" a Borg virus is spreading on Earth makes no sense. I'm looking forward to more stories in the relaunch, but I'd like to see a return to the style of "Homecoming" where there are lots of things happening with different characters all at once.
