Rating: Summary: Best VOY book ever? You're kidding, right? Right? Review: Not a bad offering overall, but whoever says this is the *best* Voyager book ever written obviously hasn't read too many! Unlike someone else, I enjoyed the planet's political situation. But I got *very, very, quite, extremely bored* when reading about the Doctor's "illness." It seemed like half the book was Kes and Harry standing in front of a computer in sickbay, trying to figure out what was causing his condition. Come *on*--they exchanged medical jargon like two dueling dictionaries. If you read this one, do it to see Captain Janeway and B'Elanna Torres as helpless hostages--an interesting position for those two characters, especially--NOT to see the Holodoc get sick.
Rating: Summary: One of the best Voyager novels I've read. Review: Susan Wright surpasses herself in the writing of this book. The characters are so true-to-life that you can imagine their voices speaking the lines as you are reading them. The plot is exciting and different, and the aliens are well described without going into unnecessary details. A brilliant piece of writing.
Rating: Summary: Quick Read, loved it Review: This book did have a few errors but no one is perfect. I loved this book we have to give credit to the author they did a great job.
Rating: Summary: It was okay. Review: This book was okay. Parts of it were very boring, parts of it were sort of interesting, but it was filled with errors. First of all, the EMH's name is NOT Zimmerman (as he is referred to basically all the time). If Susan Wright had actually seen a few episodes of Voyager, maybe she would have noticed this! Also, Janeway DOES NOT call her XO "Number One." It sounds as if Wright is a TNG fan, so why is she writing for Voyager?!?! The plot of this book was mediocre, and the characterizations were pretty bland. It was as if someone told her, Janeway is THIS type of person, and Tom is THAT type of person, etc. It didn't feel as if she really knew the people she was writing about. I hate that. This book could have been a lot better if it had been written by, say, Dean Wesley Smith & Kristine Kathryn Rusch, who are my favorite team of Voyager writers. They wrote my favorite Voyager book, Echoes, which I highly recommend in place of Violations because Echoes was SO MUCH BETTER.

Rating: Summary: This is the BEST Voyager book ever made! Review: This is a great book that has Different storylines and the best part comes when Paris tries to escape- no you just have to read it for yourself.
Rating: Summary: Many wrong details Review: This is surely not the best star trek voyager book. There are just too many wrong details. For examples, as far as I know, Captain Janeway never called Chakotay: "Number one". She always use "Commander" instead (Number one is the way capt. Picard calling Riker). And since when the EMH has a name (this book name the Doc: Zimmerman). It's mentioned also that Voyager's computer main processor had trouble of handling data 5000 Megabyte/second. Come on.. read ST TNG Tech. Manual at least about the computer capability. 5000MB/sec is too small. Last thing, The EMH always starts with the promp :"Please state the nature of medical emergency!" instead of the phrase "What is the medical emergency?" like this book used many times. The political intriques also kind of confusing sometimes. Not many action in this book. Certainly there are beter ST Voyager's books such as Battles lines, Ragnarok, Marooned.
