Rating: Summary: Multiple universes, multiple choices. Review: This is one of the few Star Trek novels that I could not find much fault with or errors in the plotline or Star Trek lore.This not a "happy" novel. Like many tragedies, Echoes focuses on the overwhelming tragic situation of billions of people dying every hour. This book is not for the squimish Star Trek fan. Solid plotline, storyline, and almost believable final resolution.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Amazing! Review: This is, quite possibly, the best Voyager book out there. I'm an avid Voyager fan, and I read a few VOY books previously. I came away from those books feeling cheated - the plots were dumb, the characters were flat and two dimensional - those novels didn't depict the Voyager I loved. Echoes, on the other hand, is excellent! The characters are fleshed out, believable, and amazingly like the characters on TV. Finally! I liked how the characters thoughts were also put down on paper. What made it really good, though, was the whole concept of parallel universes. It showed us all the possibilities, and the different reactions the characters (especially Janeway) had to all of them. And the plot itself was amazing! I was totally captivated! This book wasn't your usual Voyager book - you had to THINK and really comprehend what you were reading, as it got a little confusing trying to keep track of all the different Voyagers. But it was fun, in a strange kind of way. It was really interesting. I couldn't put this book down. I read it in one long stretch. Also, the writing was excellent. I found myself reading whole pages (sometimes more!) over and over again becaue the dialogue or whatever was just so wonderful...sad, happy, perfect, etc. This book was just wonderful in every way! I know I may sound kind of ditzy in my enthusiasm, but this book really blew me away. I was expecting a book that took my favorite characters and mutated them into cardboard...but that wasn't what I got. I got a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon because of a book that was...well, thoroughly enjoyable! (Oy...corny, corny!) Once again, if you only read one Voyager book...read this one. It's the best! (By the way, did anyone notice that the middle names of the first two authors are Star Trek names? Wesley and Kathryn! And then 'Kiriki' can be Kira...or Kirk...uh oh. I think I'm a little too obsessed...) For the billionth and final time, this is THE BEST Voyager book, so whether you borrow it from the library or buy it from here, make sure you read it. A must for any Voyager fan!
Rating: Summary: Star Trek RulZ! EcHoEs? eChOeS! Review: This was a A Great Book! I have Been Reading Trek NoVeLS for 5 years, and watching it for 10. You say that's Not a long time? Well YOU probably are not 14. I am really into Trek, Star Wars too, and I agree that Q-squared and Dark Mirror WERE great, but so is this book. Read "Doctor's Orders" it is great, so is the "the wounded sky" and the BEST OF ALL "BEST DESTINY!"
Rating: Summary: Nice book to read in a day Review: When I sat down to read this book I was very optimistic. Then I got into it and realized it had already exceeded my expectations for it. I Feel that this book is a great example of great stories for "Star Trek Voyager". I am also disappaionted that other people don't feel as highly about it.
