About this ebook

A thrilling novel that continues the epic saga of the Starship Voyager!

Little is known about the Children of the Storm—one of the most unique and potentially dangerous species the Federation has ever encountered. Non-corporeal and traveling through space in vessels apparently propelled by thought alone, the Children of the Storm at one time managed to destroy thousands of Borg ships without firing a single conventional weapon.

Now in its current mission to the Delta Quadrant, Captain Chakotay and Fleet Commander Afsarah Eden must unravel whythree Federation starships—the U.S.S. Quirinal, Planck, and Demeter—have suddenly been targeted without provocation and with extreme prejudice by the powerful Children of the Storm...with thousands of Starfleet lives at stake from an enemy that the Federation can only begin to comprehend...

Ratings and reviews

Only a few familiar crew from Voyager and they don't really progress in any meaningful way. I feel it was a mistake to remove janeway but then without tuvok as well it's not the same same with neelix he was rather pointless I also feel the enemies in these more recent books are rather boring.

This one has been one of my favorites. I couldn't put it down. It is a little difficult remembering every new character but getting easier. The children moving through the ship scene was exciting as it was terrifying. Really great addition.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Kirsten's descriptions of Miral and some of her antics, had me picturing my own granddaughter. I also enjoyed the way Captain O'Donnel handled his situation.
