Summary: Just like some resorts, don't drink the water!
Review: Black Shore proved to be a fairly good novel from the point of being a Star Trek themed adventure. Unfortunately, as a seasoned reader, I figured out where it was going to early.

See if you can detect the inconsistancy around page 24.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hmmm... Good book!

Summary: What a terrific book!
Review: Not much time, but this book is terrific! It had me completely enthralled, and driving my family up the wall with gasps of "Ohmigod, she almost killed Chakotay!" and "Paris, you idiot!" etc. etc. I almost did not get this book. I am so glad I did! Wow!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Would have worked better as an episode than a book
Review: The Plot:
Janeway and crew are in desperate need of shoreleave...and they receive an invitation from an uncharted planet to visit and enjoy the paradise nature of the lands. All is not necessarily as it seems, including the citizens' treatment of their pets, the Neffaler, which seem surprisingly intelligent, almost sentient. Add in Kes' pre-occupation and disturbing telepathic forces, Paris' involvement with the daughter of the leader, and Torres' desire to find the source of some dilithium signatures.

What I Liked:
Good descriptive prose.

What I Didn't Like:
The story is long and rather confused at times. Many of the characters seem "off", perhaps reflecting the author's pre-occupation with the characters' lives early in the series' history. Lots of descriptions are heavy on the visual, which would be impressive if it was a TV episode rather than a book, but doesn't work as well here. The ending is rather fragmented, focusing on three different groups' of actions at the same time.

The Bottom Line:
3.00 lilpads out of 5.00.

Summary: The best Voyager book written so far.
Review: This book without a doubt, stands out above the other Voyager books . The author, Greg Cox, obviously knows his Voyager history. Cox uses references to Voyager's character's past to advance his plot without going overboard.
