I am a huge Voyager fan and have read every book religiously. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I found this series. However, I was not prepared for this book to be written for teenagers. In fact, in the back of the book, there is an advertisement for "The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo", a Nickelodian sitcom. The book was good, just be prepared for this to be geared towards teenagers. If you are a Star Trek fan and you have teenage or pre-teen children, this is for you. Or, if you are a Voyager fan, its worth the read for the story.

By Adam Muller Hey E-mail Me at ajmuller98@yahoo.com This Book Sets Captian janeway Back in the alpha qudrant back to her days at starfleet academy Learn things about Star trek charaters you never knew And learn about characters you never knew existed A passionate side of a student. a side of janeway we have never seen nor will we ever forget

I own all three in this series (Voyager), and as I understand it, there won't be anymore due to low sales. Darn that bottom line! These are wonderful early Janeway stories; quick reads for adults, although a young person might need a little more time. The thing that drew me most to these books was the artwork. Can't quite remember the artist's name (wanna say Somebody Palmer? Jason?) They are black-and-white sketches that go perfectly with the storyline. All keepers for me, and I ain't no kid!

"Lifeline" is the first starfleet academy novel about Janeway.

The characterization is good, but there is virtually no story in this one. It is too much of a description about teenage-student life and serious storytelling is missing.

It's worth a read, especially if you like Janeway. After all, it gives us some bacround information about Janeway's first days in the academy, but it's nothing nearly as good as it perhaps might have been.

this book sucked although it was hard to put down. not enough action
