Product Description

This is the first novel in an exciting 3-part odyssey marking Voyager's tenth anniversary, examining causality and effect, and how things aren't always as they appear. Spirits unbroken by the failed promise of the U.S.S. Dauntless, Captain Kathryn Janeway's indefatigable crew continue their odyssey of discovery through an enigmatic region of the Delta Quadrant, encountering a system inhabited by a species that, according to all known physical laws, should not exist. These unusual beings, the Monorhans, hover near the edge of extinction; technology from the Starship Voyager promises life. Janeway, compelled by the aliens' plight, dispatches Seven of Nine and Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres to the Monorhan homeworld. But an unexpected shock wave crashes the shuttle carrying Torres and Seven, catapulting Voyager into a place beyond the fabric of space-time. As B'Elanna and Seven wage an interpersonal war, Voyager struggles to prevail on an extradimensional battleground against an indefinable enemy. But fate has determined that one is inexorable linked to the other: the insurmountable chasm separating Voyager from her lost crew members must be bridged...or all will perish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has the Voyager characters absolutely nailed., July 2, 2005
By Nina M. Osier (Augusta, ME USA) - See all my reviews
Kathryn Janeway has done it again. She's ordered Voyager off course to investigate an intriguing scientific anomaly, and landed herself and her crew in the middle of an alien species' survival crisis. This time the aliens are called Monorhans, and they're facing extinction because their star system exists in a region of space where the normal laws of physics don't apply. Just the sort of scientific and compassionate puzzle that Janeway - former science officer, explorer, and de facto Federation ambassador to the Delta Quadrant - can't possibly resist.

Jeffrey Lang is a new author for me, although he's written novels based on other Trek series. He has the Voyager characters absolutely nailed. As I read, I often burst out laughing because he'd gotten them so right. The plot is well presented, and the Monorhans - like all good Trek species - are alien enough to be interesting, but have enough in common with Humans so we can understand and empathize with them as individuals.

A terrific read! I hope the next installment of this series, which has a different author, will keep up to the high standard Mr. Lang sets in this opener.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Enjoyable, July 28, 2005
By Jacqueline Bundy (Calabasas, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am always reluctant to read the first book in a trilogy if the second and third books aren't being released in quick succession immediately afterwards. Usually if I do, and it's a really good story, I'm left feeling a bit disappointed because I know I have to wait to find out where the story goes from here.

That wasn't the case with Cohesion. Not because the story wasn't good, it's great, and Cohesion definitely did leave me wanting to know what happens next. But at the same time, as I digested the final pages, I felt completely satisfied by the story and that's what impressed me most when I had finished reading Cohesion.

There is a lot to impress about the story told in Cohesion. The plot is interesting and well paced, the action vividly portrayed and the characterizations of the Voyager characters the best I've read since Jeri Taylor's novel Pathways.

The interaction between B'Elanna Torres and Seven of Nine, who are reluctantly forced to work together to survive, is very amusing and one of the highlights of the story. Lang also manages to address some of the inconsistencies in the way the characters were depicted in the television series, an accomplishment that fans of this series should find gratifying but luckily you don't need to be a fan of Voyager to enjoy Cohesion, just a reader who appreciates a really well told story.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Cohesion" Delivers, August 26, 2005
Voyager novels, lately, have left a lot to be desired. The last slew of Voyager novels, part of the series' book relaunch, have had mixed reviews. Characterizations are off, there's not enough action, the focus is wrongly placed. Well, I was curious how this trilogy would turn out, espescially with writers like Jeffrey Lang who haven't penned a Voyager novel before this. I'm pleased to say I was surprised by how good this novel is. I want to say great, but there were a few rough points that kept it from being a five-star novel.

The front cover notes this three-part series as being a "tenth anniversary odyssey." Well, I didn't really get that impression from this novel. If you've seen the episodes "Night," "The Void" and your basic "planet it trouble, Janeway wants to help," then this novel may seem a bit less epic. Even with that, Lang does seem to work hard to put a new spin on things and the plot. I'd say this is a character-driven novel more so than an action-packed adventure. Which is great, we need that in Voyager. It takes place after the episode "Hope and Fear" and before "Night", and it focuses on B'Elanna Torres more so than any character. It also puts a spotlight on her tug-of-war relationship with Seven of Nine.

The characterizations are fairly accurate. I too, like another reviewer, felt Seven of Nine and a few of the things she said weren't very true to how she was on the television show. Yet, she and B'Elanna are put in a great situation that definately isn't like anything we saw on the television. Janeway is beginning to question herself, as we saw in the episode "Night." Perhaps the reasons for that is put out there for the readers to understand her shift in moods between "Hope and Fear" and "Night."

As for the aliens, I felt they were okay. I really wasn't interested in them but I do feel they're getting a good work-out. This is only the first book, so I'm sure they'll have their moment. Also, some of Voyager's underdeveloped characters got a good amount of time in the spotlight. Tuvok, Neelix, even Joe Carey all played a big part in this book. One character didn't dominate the action or attention, besides B'Elanna, but even that was done in moderation. The only character I felt was really off was Tom Paris. Lang's take on him was more like a juvenile. Yeah, he's not the most serious character, but I felt opening the book and having him thinking of mushrooms was a bit much.

If you've been disapointed by Voyager novels in the past, or youthink the Relaunch leaves the crew rather cold, read this book. It definately grabs your attention a few dozen pages in and leaves you wanting more. A great book that explores Janeway's actions, Torres and Seven's relationship and an alien race on the brink of extinction. Yes, definately worth your time and money.
