About this ebook

An all-new novel that continues the epic saga of the Starship Voyager!

Following the destruction of four fleet vessels at the hands of the Omega Continuum, the U.S.S. Voyager and U.S.S. Demeter set course for a region of the Delta Quadrant far beyond any­thing previously explored. Captain Chakotay is determined to prove to Starfleet Command that the fleet’s ongoing mission is vital to Federation interests . . . and the key to doing so may lie in a distress call Voyager received nine years earlier but could not investigate.

Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway is recalled to the Alpha Quadrant for an evaluation period to determine her next assignment. Given the trauma she has recently endured, Admiral Akaar, Starfleet’s commander in chief, is questioning Janeway’s fitness to command the fleet. Janeway’s primary concern remains the fleet’s safety— for their mission to continue, she must find a way to secure the resources they require. But the uncertainty of her superior officers has left her powerless to act in their best interests.

Ratings and reviews

I love Star Trek, plain and simple. As I read the books and watch any series or movies, I imagine myself right there with them. I was one of many who went at Sock's death and rejoiced when he was arisen. Love Long and Prosper!

This was another entertaining story with a lot of nail biting moments. It seemed to be leading into something different than the actual ending. Once the ending was close they introduced a lot of info really quickly and tied up a lot really fast. It was obvious the last few chapters were leading into another book more than finishing this one.

It's the Borg assimilation virus from the first Voyager relaunch book all over again. This series is so utterly creatively bankrupt that it's crossed the line from bad to so bad it's good to the black, cloying void of dispassionate loathing where the Star Wars Holiday Special resides.
