5.0 out of 5 stars If this is the future of Voyager books, God help us all!, June 27, 1999
By A Customer
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".

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent Star Trek Voyager book!, July 19, 2002
By K. Wyatt "ssintrepid" (St. Louis, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best voyager book yet!, March 20, 2001
By A Customer
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.
