Summary: Section 31: Shadow
Review: This ST-Voyager book involves Section 31 a secret organization within Starfleet itself, covert and mysterious guardians of the Federation. Seven of Nine finds a series of accidents and mishaps plaguing her and Captain Janeway makes the connection that there maybe a plot afoot to kill Seven of Nine.

This book has really good character interaction between Seven and Janeway, also Seven and Torres. We see good charater fleshing out in this book. As the book starts, I found that watching paint dry could happen before the real meat of the book comes to fruition. But the pace of the book picks up and comes to full stride toward the ending.

The Voyager crew comes to the aid of a civilization fleeing their world due to a binary star system colision and won't make it clear when the disaster occurs. As this sub-plot evolves the main plot becomes more involved and lethal.

All in all, this is a good book and once you get to reading it, you'll be fascinated by the intrigue.

NO LAW, NO CONSCIENCE, NO STOPPING THEM

This is intriguing reading with a mystery and is written with a tegumentary style.

Summary: Interesting if flawed
Review: Well, if it's summer time, that must mean Pocket Books is once again ready to foist another Trek crossover, multi-book Trek series upon us. Last year's New Earth was good at first, sagged in the middle only to be redeemed in the end. This year, the Section 31 set kicks off with a series of novels examining the secret organization and its affect on the four shows. On paper it sounds interesting and like it has some real potential.

First off (from what I've read you can read these in any order without really losing anything), there is the Voyager novel. The plot features a pretty standard civilization in danger and only Voyager can save them plot coupled with an attempt by Section 31 to do off with Seven of Nine. The main plot of the civlization in peril is a bit of a yawn at times--there are some nice characters but overall the dramatic thrust never materializes enough to be interesting--especially when it descends into cliches of the aliens not trusting Voyager and taking hostages. The more interesting plot is just why Section 31 considers Seven of Nine a threat and is out to irradicate her. It's interesting to read that the organization can reach out as far as the Delta Quadrant and how it does is interesting. However, the investigation into who is attacking Seven goes on a bit too long and some of the regular characters make unintelligent choices for the sake of prolonging the suspense of who is attacking Seven and why. Also, Sevens' characterization is bit off--she seems a bit too arrogant and unlikeable. She has these qualities in the show, but she becomes a two-dimensional character at times in this storyline. Of course, the two plots intersect each other at certain points in the book. To give away any details might take away some of the surprise, so I won't do that.

All in all, this book has potential, not all of it realized. I think the TNG and DS9 books have the most potential in the series. VOY suffers from the same things the show does--being cut off from the Alpha Quadrant means there's little or not consequences to the story or any type of meaningful follow up to the actions and events shown here.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WHAT A BOOK!!!
Review: When I sat down to read this book I read the first page or so and I was hooked. This book takes you into Seven of Nines head. And occasional Captain Janeways and some aliens. This book combines all the stuff you'd expect in a Star Trek book ans SO much more. I guarantee if your a huge Voyager fan you'll love this book. Do your self a favor and buy this amazing book.
