About this ebook

The Earth is in the crosshairs of an unrelenting Borg plague in this white-knuckled Star Trek thriller featuring Admiral Janeway and her crew.

When an unstoppable Borg plague breaks out upon Earth, blame quickly falls on the newly returned crew of the U.S.S. Voyager. Did Kathryn Janeway and the others unknowingly carry this insidious infection back with them? Many in Starfleet think so, and Seven of Nine, in particular, falls under a cloud of suspicion.

Now, with a little help from the U.S.S. Enterprise, Admiral Janeway must reunite her crew in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to discover the true source of the contagion and save Earth itself from total assimilation into a voracious new Borg Collective. But time is running out.

Has Voyager come home only to witness humanity’s end?

    The previous book, Homecoming, was my intro to the tie-in novels, and I really enjoyed it. This one was a bit rougher if considered on it's own, but together they make a solid story. It's better to think of it as the second-half of a two-part TV episode than as it's own novel.While I enjoyed the plot of the last one when it was still a mystery how the threads would tie together, this one tied them together too succinctly. The entire Federation is at stake from the two main plot points, but they are neatly resolved with no indication of consequences, and the Federation-shaking plots overshadow the story of the Voyager crew reintegrating after seven years lost in space. It feels like the Borg and Hologram stories could have been told after the crew had a few books to settle in and face challenges a bit closer to home.Still enjoyable, but felt like it missed some opportunities. Also, had a number of spelling errors. Come on!

    Most of the characterization was on (save, perhaps, for Tuvok), and the book continues the story from Homecoming right where it left off - but I think a little momentum was lost. B'Elanna Torres's story was good, but it could hardly have been more incongruous with the rest of the book. Voyager has been cursed with the ability to make even Borg stories lackluster in the past - and it carries that tradition on through this book. Also, the reader becomes keenly aware that television-friendly effects, like holograms assuming the forms of others, is a whole 'nother ball game in the written form. All in all, though, a cozy read. If you like Voyager, you'll like it. I do, in a guilty pleasure way, despite forever wondering when Harry Kim's character will start to develop. Maybe after another decade of stories or so :)

    I found this book only marginally better than the first in the series, but still found the story rather unbelievable (even for the Star Trek universe). I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a die-hard Voyager fan (which I am), and even then I'd give a warning.
