Product Description

Captain Janeway believed she commanded the only Starfleet vessel in the Delta Quadrant -- until the U.S.S. Voyager™ came to the rescue of the U.S.S. Equinox, a battered starship besieged by a ravening horde of extradimensional predators.

Helmed by Captain Rudolph Ransom, the Equinox has been trapped in the Delta Quadrant even longer than the Voyager and the ship and its crew show the scars of a constant struggle to survive. But Ransom and his people are hiding something as well: a shocking secret that will ultimately pit captain against captain, starship against starship, in an explosive conflict that may cost Voyager the life of her captain!

A powerful novel based on the thrilling two-part television adventure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the episodes!, October 3, 1999

By A Customer

WOW!! Next to Jeri Taylor, Diane Carey rocks when it comes to dealing with the complicated relationship between Janeway and Chakotay! Her additions to the scenes between them are wonderful, and the rest of the characters are treated equally well; the novel succeeds in giving a better look into the actions and reactions of everyone involved.

A must-read for all VOY fans, especially for the J/Cers among us!

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't read this one unless..., April 7, 2000

By	A. G. (Michigan) - See all my reviews

you're prepared to see a side of Janeway you've never seen before! The show didn't come close to capturing her obsession with hunting Ransom, her absolute determination to see justice served--even at the expense of her first officer's respect and trust. I enjoyed the episode's portrayal of Janeway as maybe a little less than right (usually the show makes her adherence to Starfleet regulations look like "the only correct way to live in the Delta Quadrant," no matter what the circumstance), but after reading the novel, Janeway actually appears *wrong.* The added scenes between her and Chakotay are excellent, but the true jewel of the novel is Janeway's fallibility. This storyline is shaded in mostly grays, with very little in black and white. It's almost natural to sympathize with Ransom and his crew, while in the episode they seemed entirely heartless. The character development in this book is fantastic. True, if you haven't seen the episode, you'll be looking for more scenes, but it's the same with the "Caretaker" novelization. The extra scenes flow so smoothly that I've seen the episode more than once and I sometimes found myself thinking, "Was this in the episode or not?" Diane Carey has done a commendable job adding depth and "gray" to a well-scripted episode.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing!, January 27, 2000

By	Kathryn7 - See all my reviews

I never saw the episode, but I've read the script to it. I was thrilled. But reading the book was so much fun. I believe this book is the second best after "Mosaic", and Diane Carey's best - IMHO. The Janeway/Chakotay scenes were breathtaking, and extermelly well writen. Loved it all the way!
