Incident At Arbuk,
By A 10-year old reader (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Incident at Arbuk (Star Trek Voyager, No 5) (Paperback)
Incident At Arbuk is a good book.It started out slow, but picked up at the end. It's about the voyager crew finding a deadly weapon, more powerful than any starfleet vessel. Inside a shuttle, they find a Sperian unconcious. Could the Sperian be a link to the weapon? Can they make him concious again? If you want to find out more, I suggest you to read it.

The crew of Voyager must save itself and the peace.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Incident at Arbuk (Star Trek Voyager, No 5) (Paperback)
The superweapon and Star Trek are well known bedfellows in the universe of sci-fi. From the Doomsday Machine in the original TV series, to this novel, Captains in Star Trek must overcome the impossible with almost nothing.Arbuk brings us a new characters' take on the man vs. superweapon scenario. Betancourt brings off the culmination of this conflict as well as any of the other authors who have attempted it. Involving the Voyager and Captain Janeway does bring a refreshing twist to this solid Star Trek storyline.

Where was the proofreader?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Incident at Arbuk (Star Trek Voyager, No 5) (Paperback)
Before discussing the substance of this story, I have to say I was dismayed by the lack of proofreading. Not only were there simple typographical errors, but often extra words were inserted where they did not belong. Also, characters spoke in ways we didn't hear them speak on the television show; for instance, B'Elanna refers to Voyager as "the Voyager," so, instead of saying she was returning to Voyager, she'd say she was returning to "the Voyager." (Where was the editor? How about continuity?) I've read several Voyager books, and noticed this one had the most mistakes. Beyond that, it was a somewhat interesting story.CAUTION: Mild spoilers follow. In what appeared to be a crossover from the original series, Voyager encounters a "doomsday machine," but, aside from mentioning this, the book doesn't offer any further linkage. It might have been more interesting if this had been Matt Decker's doomsday machine, but as far as we know from this book, it probably was not. The alien species was interesting if for nothing other than morphology. The Sperians have no eyes, ears or noses, just mouths and many tendrils atop their heads. Turns out these tendrils provide their visual, auditory and olfactory senses. Other than this, perhaps the most engaging part of the story comes when Tuvok enters a mind meld with a Sperian. After the meld, the two are still linked -- I don't recall this happening before in Trek lore. Tuvok has part of the Sperian's personality, and vice versa. It was curious, and added to the story, but...it was never resolved at the end! There was an entertaining side story about the disgruntled ex-Maquis, Paul Fairman, who sets out to find his way off Voyager by amassing funds via a black market replicator. He and Neelix have some amusing interactions, and it is finally left to Neelix to solve this personnel issue. Similar to other Trek books, this was a quick, escapist read. If that's what you're looking for, then by all means, read on! Just know that, for whatever reason, the editors didn't give this one the attention it deserved.
