Star Trek Voyager: Homecoming #1

I recommend this book

As I read this book it felt as if I was still watching the series and that it did not miss a beat. The auther did a good job will look for more from her.

An intriguing book about post-Voyager life

Not what I expected but it's a fun, mild read.

Love this book!!

This book is great! Followed every episode when it was on tv. It was nice to see the characters after they made it home. Just wish the book could have been longer, more to the story. It went by very quick. Look forward to part two!!!!

Good Stort, Bad formatted ebook

I like the story, but the ebook formatting is really bad with margins being larger than they should be and missing spaces between words. If not for that I would have rated it higher.

Thanks!

This is my first e-book read and my first novel in years. I grew up with Voyager and the series finale did amything but fulfill my desire to see the crew safely home. I spent my teenage years watching this crew on TV and this book finally gave me an exciting glimpse at how the shoe SHOULD have ended. I applaud the author in her creative vision and an incredible dedication to bringing the crew of the Starship Voyager home the way they should have been. I just purchased the next book in this story and can not wait to eelve into its ePages! A great read for any lover of Star Trek and especially for the fans of Captain Janeeay and the gallant crew of the U.S.S. Voyager!

i always wondered!

i wished the series hadnt ended so abruptly. i loved this book because it continues exactly where u want it to. i feel satisfied now. no more lingiring questions. a great finality to a great series. too bad they didnt make this a movie.

This author really has a grasp of the characters.

For some strange reason I had the impression that this book was not very good. I suppose it was a review I read years ago. This book is fantastic, I loved how the author conveyed the characters so well. Often there are novels where you can feel an inconsistency in the personality or "thoughts" of these characters you have personally taken time to get to know.

I can't wait to get to the next book.

One complaint; it is rather short for the price. One almost gets the impression that this and the second novel were one whole book, divided to make more money.

NOT 288pp ONLY 190pp -- real disappointment!! Should be priced at $3 - $4. Written like a TV episode, not a novel. -- And I'm a 'Trek' fan.

This book and sequel should be made into a MOVIE!!!!

Somebody call producer/director J.J. Abrams, or any Star Trek movie maker genius, to make this book and its sequel into a two part movie. Both books are awesome to read. Plus the movie would give women a chance to shine as a Captain on a starship. For female fans; it would allow them to see a woman in charge on a starship on the big screen for the first time ever. Plus it would allow some fans to see Seven-of-Nine again in a role that would show her continued growth as an individual after being a Borg for so long.

Great Book

This is a great book and a great 2nd part to Star Trek Homecoming. It was great to know what happened with the characters after the TV series went off the air. The plot of the story was great, very exciting and dramatic with all the Borg talk and fear of Voyagers return home.

Movie Material

This was such a cool book! In my opinion, they should make a movie out of it. You don't even HAVE to read the first book. . . it's like reading a new book, not a series. It explains what happened to the heroic crew of the starship Voyager.

This is Golden at her Trek-author best.

Captain Chakotay of Voyager and his sister, shaman-trained Sekaya, begin this duology's second installment where we left them at the first book's end. Imprisoned on the apparently abandoned colony world Loran II's surface, in the hands of the supposedly dead Cardassian scientist Crell Moset. Delivered there by a shapeshifting 'Founder' who has spent years trapped in the form of a respected Starfleet officer, who now assumes Chakotay's identity and orders Voyager's immediate departure for Earth. Which will leave the real captain and his sister to die in Moset's laboratory, whether from the Butcher of Bajor's horrific research or afterward - because Moset can't afford to let witnesses live. Meanwhile, Admiral Kathryn Janeway's mission to persuade several seceding worlds to remain in the United Federation of Planets is not going well. On the Klingon sacred moon Boreth, B'Elanna Torres continues researching her baby daughter's heritage as the fulfillment of ancient prophecy, after her husband Tom Paris joins Janeway's mission; and on Earth, concert musician and Starfleet spy Libby Webber makes a discovery that's connected to both the admiral's diplomatic assignment and the events unfolding aboard Voyager. This is Golden at her Trek-author best. The story's threads come together in ways that surprise the reader without blindsiding, and the characters we Voyager fans already know so well behave exactly as they should. The new characters Golden introduced in her first Voyager re-launch duology manage to play major parts without making me resent the pages they occupy, although I'm still not sure what she has in mind for Akolo Tare. That's one of several plot threads that aren't tied up neatly. This is fine with me, since I know more books are coming. Although Enemy of My Enemy has a satisfying conclusion, it ends with a twist that has me asking with pleasant anticipation, 'But what's going to happen next?'

Best Star Trek Literature I Have Ever Read

Seriously. I couldn't believe how true to the series this book was. It felt like reading an episode (a REALLY good one). If you are a fan of Voyager, I highly recommend it. I have not one bad thing to say about it.

cant wait

cant wait to see what the finale will be...for sure you need to read homecoming first, but a few of us at startrekfans.net will be discussing it..so good reading!

almost as good as book one

this book was not quite as good as the first one it felt like it ran out of steam after the first book.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS!

A worthy continuation of the adventures of the STAR TREK: VOYAGER crew, 'The Farther Shore' is exciting and very true to the characters fans have grown to love on the series. Pick this book up! It is a must for any true VOYAGER.

'Endgame' is finally over.

As B¿Elanna Torres fights to stay alive in the wilderness of a sacred Klingon moon, where she¿s gone to find her missing mother, the rest of the recently returned Voyager crew (including B¿Elanna¿s husband, Tom Paris) fights Starfleet Security as they fall under suspicion of bringing a Borg assimilation virus back to Earth with them. Seven of Nine and Icheb, both former Borg drones, are imprisoned because Starfleet fears that they may be able to contact the Collective ¿ especially if they¿re allowed to regenerate. If they are NOT allowed to regenerate, though, they¿ll die. The holographic Doctor, also imprisoned, faces reprogramming equivalent to giving a Human a lobotomy. In order to put down a rebellion by Earth¿s huge population of sentient holograms, Starfleet (as the Doctor¿s ¿owner¿) has decided to make an example of him. Admiral Kathryn Janeway isn¿t about to let such things happen to her people. With close friend and former first officer Chakotay by her side, aided by Tom Paris, Harry Kim, and others whom Trek fans will recognize, Janeway sets out to rescue her endangered friends from detention. After that she¿ll have to find the real source of the assimilation virus, and expose it to Starfleet and Federation authorities. If she can¿t do all of that within a frighteningly brief time frame, though, it will be too late. Earth will already have become part of a vast Collective. I enjoyed the first ¿Homecoming¿ book, but this one is better (I¿d give it 4 ½ stars if that were possible). It spends far less time telling regular Voyager viewers what we already know, and it contains (mercifully) only one encounter between Janeway and her former fiance Mark Johnson¿s insipid bride, Carla. Maybe that¿s why Janeway seems solidly in character throughout the book. The mystery¿s solution works quite well despite making use of a motivation that¿s become a literary and dramatic cliché in recent years, and that in my opinion feeds a social prejudice which doesn¿t need help from Star Trek authors. I would like to comment on this at greater length, but won¿t because I¿d be giving away too much. B¿Elanna¿s story plays out separately, and I found its resolution both shocking and satisfying. I¿m left with the feeling that ¿Endgame¿ is finally over. Now the characters can get on with their lives!

anticipating all five stars

i read the first book, voyager homecoming, and it was AWESOME!! i am not even a star trek fan by nature, but this book pulled me right in! i couldn't put it down and i can hardly wait to read the conclusion!! I am sure it will be everything the first part was and More!!!

THE FARTHER SHORE WILL BE A GREAT BOOK!

I found out a little about this book. from what I read about it it should pull you in easily. The borg will be in it. Captin Janeway will get together with her crew to try to find out how the borg out break started. It'll be a great book! I highly recominid it!!

Great book, I wish the authors of the Voyager Series would wrote faster!

I found this book facinating. It carried the imagination to new heights. The story flowed well and kept my interest from beginning to end. The book also gives a beginning to whole new direction for Captain Janeway and the crew of Voyager. They need to write faster!!!!!
