Pocket Books doesn't normaly go to Michael Jan Friedman for the novelization of tv episodes. When they do, it's for the better episodes. This is certainly the case here. The episode was one of Voyager's best and this novelization is one of the best. I like to read the novelizations to get a good perspective of what's going on between the tv scenes and what's going on in the character's minds. The author, as usual, did a wonderful job capturing the spirit of the characters and the plot. I would recommend this novelization to anybody who reads Trek. Thank you to the author for another great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Accompaniment!, June 7, 2000

By

This review is from: Day of Honor (Star Trek Voyager) (Mass Market Paperback)

Mr. Friedman did a wonderful job on this novelization! The scenes he added may have been a bit wordy at times, but they provided glimpses into the characters' psyche and relationships. Some particular highlights were the "Then: Nineteen Years Ago" sequence, the scenes which described the assimilation of Agron Lumas's family, and the beginings of Seven's and Kim's relationship. As a studier of culture myself, I enjoyed following the doctor's quest for a holiday. Some circumstances were quite amusing! Some situations, including the creation of a subspace field, were somewhat confusing to one who doesn't understand engineering terms, but not so much that they took away from the plot. I enjoyed the focus on Torres and Paris, being a P/T fan. Overall, this is a well-written book, and the perfect accompaniment to the episode.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good Trekker read. Nice insight into TV vs. books., July 21, 1998

This review is from: Day of Honor (Star Trek Voyager) (Mass Market Paperback)

Having little bad to say about anything Star Trek, my review will be biased, but if you watch the television episode and then read this book, you will realize what readers have always known: Books are much better than TV! While the entire script (pretty much) is in this novel, Michael Jan Friedman's and Jeri Taylor's story goes into so much more depth about the aliens and their motivations that you find yourself at least *understanding* why they acted as they did. A sub-subplot reveals another slice of the Holodoc, and his on-going quest to augment his programming, which is totally absent from the TV episode. Of course, the Tom & B'Elanna plotline will certainly keep the attention of all the Paris/Torres fans, but that's not all there is to this story.
