This book contain the scripts for six Voyager episodes: "Scorpion" parts I and II, "The Raven", "The Omega Directive", "One", and "Hope and Fear". These stories show Seven of Nine's journey from a Borg threat to a valued member of the crew.

This book sheds light on how a television script, specifically a Star Trek script, is put together, and I enjoyed seeing these stories as they existed before being interpreted by actors and directors. I would recommend this book to any aspiring Voyager scriptwriter.

The only drawback was that it was a bit short for the price; the other scriptbook, "The Q Chronicles", had 11 scripts (including two TV movie-length scripts) for about the same price. I would have liked to see "The Gift" and "Retrospect", both of which had an influence on the character of Seven of Nine.

I liked this book alot. It was combined of different stories of Seven of Nine. It shows her quest of becoming part of the crew and to be trusted. My favorite one was "One".

Relax, people. It is simply a bunch (6) of scripts! It was interesting, though, to see the actual piece of paper that makes ::Voyager:: episodes what they are. Also a good investment if you are thinking about submitting a script to Paramount. It must be in this form for them to accept it!

A great collection of Seven of Nine moments, although I would have liked some images within the book. I have the other two scriptbooks and I find them all worthwhile to read and enjoy. They are all very fast reads, so if you are looking for a book to last you the summer, then these are not it. I read them all in one weekend but they were all very good.

I just loved this book. It contains six Star Trek Voyager scripts which cover Seven-of-Nine's major episodes from Season Four (Scorpion 1 & 2, the Raven, The Omega Directive, One, and Hope and Fear).

It was fascinating to see what the actors have to work with when they say their lines. I loved reading the little commentaries in the script. Here's a sample from the end of "One".

Seven of Nine: I don't require nourishment at this time. (beat)
I...felt the need for....companionship.

Everyone stares at her. This is the most vulnerable admission
she's ever made. There's a moment of sympathy, and then, to
break the tension -

Paris: After a month with only the Doctor for company...I can
understand it.

and so on.

There are also 16 pages of pictures in the center of the book, in full color.

With the extraordinarily low prices from third party sellers (Amazon doesn't carry the book at this writing), there is no reason for any Voyager fan not to own this wonderful script book.

I got into Voyager in the last season, and Seven immediately caught my attention- how did she come to be on Voyager, what was her life like before she was assimilated, ect. This book was great for me since I missed the fourth season, when she came to Voyager. Highly recommended for others in the same situation.

One thing that was really disappointing was the fact that there were no commentaries. Especially for people who are into writing screenplays it is nice to get some tips or at least information from people who make decisions and are successful
