Summary: If this is the future of Voyager books, God help us all!
Review: OK, maybe that's a little extreme, but... This book is nothing but poor stereotypes and cliques. The Quavok (bad guys) are particularly annoying, I mean everything in their language starts with Q and that seems very childish. The Q race was understandable because they have a comedy- centered attitude. Janeway is constantly either thinking or talking about coffee. Again, annoying! In fact, the first ten or so chapters ALL contain references to coffee! This book makes Janeway out to be obsessed with coffee. The aliens are stereotypical, the bad guys ugly reptiles, not like in "Seven of Nine" or "The Dragon's Honor" where the reptilian aliens are graceful, but deadly or so, and the good guys are the unusually beautiful humans so common in the TOS trek series. Speaking of Seven, in this book she lacks the depth and complexity her character requires, and comes of sounding like the original Enterprise's monotonous know-it-all computer. And another recycled Voyager plot, the "Oh no, a terrible spatial anomaly threatens Voyager again!" like we don't get enough of this from the TV show. The writing style is boring and childish. If you want a good Voyager story, read "The Black Shore" or "Ragnorok".

Summary: What a boring book
Review: Sure the story line was OK but everything sounded too easy to me how there was an area of space that the Neutron Star could go without killing any life and Voyager was able to make sure that the star went that way! Come on!Read Black Shore or Seven of Nine, much better

Summary: Good science, but weak plot
Review: This book offeres interesting astronomical scientific information. And why is that interesting? Bacuse it was the cornerstone of the whole plot. Like you might have guessed, this didn't work too well. It might have worked a lot better, but also a lot worse. Good thing that I like seeing 'guest stars' in prominent roles since this book does that, and does it farely well, even if certain stereotypes can be detected in the case of the quest characters. The problem is the plot, wich is uniquely unbelievable and slowly progressing, thus making the reader bored. When you add absolutely no character exploration of the 'regulars', (although that was compensated by the original characters), the outcome isn't the best possible. I liked the science, but the story left me dissapointed.

Summary: Best voyager book yet!
Review: This is by far the best Voyager book. My favorite Star Trek book is Double Helix #2 Vectors, Death of a Neutron Star came close to beating it. I did get a little annoyed with Janeway thinking and talking about coffee so much, but I got used to it. If you want a good Voyager book then read Death of a Neutron Star.

Summary: Really good- One of the Best
Review: This was a relly good book, except for two things: One, Janeway drank too much coffee, two, all the names in the Qavok species started with "Q" (Qubo, Qborne, Qados etc.). Other than that, it was a really good book. The two personalities that stood out were Tyla's and Seven's. Everyone on Voyager had a clear personality.

Summary: A phenomenon never seen before is a lure to Janeway and co.
Review: Whe Captain Janeway saves an alien physics expert and his partner, he tells the crew of a neutron star pair that is extremely rare; it is the first ever seen Starfleet. They get mixed up with other aliens, who all have thier own agendas. This book is very good in that it explores an idea of space that has never been really commented on. The aliens had strong character, and were well witten. It is certainly as good as the other Voyager novels written. I believe that it is worth a try.

Summary: A decent Star Trek Voyager book!
Review: While not being one of the best "Voyager" books, this is defintely not among the worst of them. In fact, it was pretty refreshing in that it wasn't the normal "Voyager" book which is typically based on the old "We need food from this planet and the bad guy's won't let us get to it." That said, I rather enjoyed the book, despite what some of the other reviewer's stated about the author focusing too much on Janeway's enjoyment of coffee and the ever present technobabble. Star Trek in and of itself is based a lot in technobabble, no big deal.
In my opinion, this was an extremely well done first foray into the Trek world by Eric Kotani. Hopefully we'll see some more trek stories from him in the future. Overall a well done book and I would recommend it to anybody who reads trek. Thank you to author for a good read.
