Publisher Description
The further adventures of the Star Trek: Voyager crew, picking up where the television series left off.
Captain Chakotay is ready to prove himself as the new commanding officer of the USS Voyager—but skeptics back at Starfleet Command are watching him closely for any sign that he will revert to his renegade Maquis ways. His first mission as captain is to transport a group of displaced colonists back to their home planet of Loran II, seems easy enough: make sure the planet is safe for colonization, unload the settlers, and head back to Earth. He even has an extra reason to enjoy the trip—his sister, Sekaya, has joined the mission as a spiritual advisor to the gentle, peace-loving colonists.
But when the crew arrives at Loran II, they discover a mysterious storm, an ominously deserted settlement and a hidden threat from Chakotay’s past that could destroy them all. Will Chakotay’s first mission as captain of Voyager also be his last?
Customer Reviews
A wasted opportunity
I enjoyed the previous book in this series, but the writing of this book and subsequent entries is of much, much lower quality. Everyone’s eyes are “sparkling” and “twinkling”. The excessive and repetitive adverbs are distracting. People can speak without saying everything “evenly”. Chakotay doesn’t have to meet everyone’s gaze evenly. My god. Aside from that, next to nothing occurs. The plot meanders on a journey with no meaningful developments. It is part of a series, but there should be some significant occurrences in this entry. Don’t waste your time with these.
Absolutely unreadable
This is one of only three books I have ever given up on reading.
