Summary: An absolute "Take No Prisoners" action packed book!
Review: I have read this book twice in the last three weeks, and I can't wait to read it again! This is what Voyager is all about. Showing that Janeway doesn't try and talk her way out of a fight, but goes the full ten rounds to save her ship and crew. That's what a real ship's captain should do, and Janeway pulls it off better than anyone else! I can recommend this book to any true Voyager fan who loves the action the show and wants to have the same thrill ride in a book.

Summary: Nice book: Action from cover to cover
Review: I have seldom read books like this. I was still at page 60, having read 59 pages of action, and I caught myself wondering, "hey, if this much is happening now, what's on page 240?". Apart from minor nitpicks (misspellings of names, for instance), I loved the book-- it kept my attention all the way through. No wonder I read it all in a day. I highly recommend it.

Summary: An action-packed romp.
Review: I really enjoyed the action scenes, and the various cliff-hangers and plot twists kept me glued to my seat. It was a fun read, one that I enjoyed immensely.However, I did notice a few problems with the novel. It seems like half of the crew were not touched upon (Seven-Of-Nine, Neelix, Torres, and the doctor). However, the interaction between the people who were spotlighted (especially Paris and Chatokav) more than made up for the lack of attention to the other characters. One other problem I saw was the fact that there wasn't much descriptions of the alien races. So it was a bit hard for me to visulaize the aliens in my head. But on the good side, the style of the text was much better than Dave and Greg's previous work. It was a tremendous improvement, and I liked that. The book read very smoothly. Especially the action scenes. It was very easy to visualize what the text described. All in all, I enjoyed this book immensely, and I'm not even that big a Voyager fan. I'd recommend it to any Voyager fan.

Summary: Not too shabby!
Review: I thought this book was okay. They really stretched the part about Chokotay and Paris, though. But that part was funny too. I thought it had a good plot, but no description of the aliens (so I can't picture them in my head). Still, I'd recommend this book to any ST fan.

Summary: No, thanks.
Review: I'm only reading this book because I'm a completist. Frankly, none of the characters are depicted in character (although it seems that the show can't really seem to decide what's "in character" and "out of character" either), and the only likeable characters get maybe two or three lines of dialogue. Throw in a painfully predictable plot and some boring aliens, and you have A) A typical Voyager episode, and B) A mediocre Voyager novel. Please, Greg, let Diane ghost-write next time.

Summary: Worst Trek book EVER!
Review: I've read a good deal of Trek books and I'd say that this one is the absolute worst! The characters are way wrong and they can't even SPELL right "B'Lanna", "Seven-of-Nine" And would tom Paris EVER in his life once say "This one's a biggun captain" or "Ride 'n' hide" NO!

Summary: Non-stop action and thrills, but that's about it.
Review: One second . . . let me catch my breath . . . okay. Well, as for an action-packed, non-stop plotline, this story delivers sensationally. So, if action and thrills is all you want from a Star Trek novel, this will be one of your favorites of all time. I tend to want a little more. The writing quality of this book is sadly inferior, certain passages reading like a first draft, the entire book filled with repeated words/phrases and "said-bookisms." While most of the *actions* of characters are written correctly, including Janeway's wrestling with the morality of the situation and Chakotay's rising leadership when it really counts (something that is, sadly, all but ignored on the show), the *dialog* just doesn't ring true. This is most glaringly true of Tuvok, but it also definitely applies to Janeway and Chakotay. It's as though Mr.'s Galanter and Brodeur have never really watched the show, but they were given a super-quick crash course in the characters so they could write the novel (I can see it now: "Okay, Tuvok's Vulcan, like really logical ... Chakotay's--well, we kinda forgot *what* Chakotay's like, so whatever you write on him will be fine ..."). Another serious flaw: the Chakotay/Paris storyline. The idea is fine, but the one-liners between them are all too often dragged waaay out to be three- and four-liners, when one would have been much more clever. The skipping back and forth between the two plots got rather frustrating after awhile; I was left thinking, "Okay, just rescue them with the transporters and get on with it, will ya?" To sum up, despite the negative tone of this review, I did enjoy the story. Unfortunately, the Voyager crew are reduced from dynamic characters that toy with my sympathies, to plot pawns that get tossed around and beaten up but come out on top in the end. Not quite enough to make this one memorable.

Summary: This book makes me want to watch the show!
Review: That's right! Even though the shows is aweful, that's how much I enjoyed this book. A great mystery is set up from the very start. Who is the real enemy? What's at stake? What's the secret behind the enemy's ship? All of this ties together at the end. If you're looking for an exciting adventure with interesting characters and some great sci-fi concepts, check this book out. But you don't have to take my word for it - do-do do!

Summary: A good book, but a bit unintelligent...
Review: The book tried an action based start, but didn't do it wery well, just as I just didn't.:) The book contains much action and maybe even crosses some borders of good writing, by using action as the only intrique, thus making the novel appear unintelligent, meaningless and commercial. But in a way this was a good change from the usual trek, although Voyager has been known to use action as a commercial tool on TV also, wich I think has injured the series' integrity and credibility. This book however goes even further, using the characters only as action heroes, but, also building those same characters in a way rarely seen on books and doing it, in some instancies well, and in some instancies not so well, often making the characters "harder" than they are. This, however, is easily forgivable and unimportant for the plot, only annoying. All in all I recomend this book for all Voyager fans. It has decent plot and interesting situations that alow good characterization.
