About this ebook
The Full Circle Fleet has resumed its unprecedented explorations of the Delta Quadrant and former Borg space. Commander Liam O'Donnell of the U.S.S. Demeter makes a promising first contact with the Nihydron—humanoid aliens that are collectors of history. They rarely interact with the species they study but have created a massive database of numerous races, inhabited planets, and the current geopolitical landscape of a large swath of the quadrant. When an exchange of data is proposed via a formal meeting, the Nihydron representatives are visibly shaken when Admiral Kathryn Janeway greets them. For almost a century, two local species—the Rilnar and the Zahl—have fought for control of the nearby planet Sormana, with both sides claiming it as their ancestral homeworld. The shocking part is that for the last several years, the Rilnar have been steadily gaining ground, thanks to the tactics of their current commanding officer: a human woman, who appears to be none other than Kathryn Janeway herself...

Reviews for A Pocket Full of Lies
21 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was not really up to Beyer's normal standards. There were a lot of aspects of the plot that did not make sense, and I felt she was losing the voice of many characters which is usually the thing Beyer does really well.
I mean - the scene where Harry rants about how dumb Tom is? That did not sound like Harry, even when extremely upset. And how super smart and capable Agent Dayne confuses Kathryn's sister with her dog and then mistakenly names his own daughter the wrong thing? All of the Dayne related stuff was pretty awful. And having Obrist be his brother who kills him at the end....so weird. Like Obrist is a small part in one two-part episode, but based on what we know of him that was completely out of character. Obrist deserved better.
I was happy to have more Krenim action, but on the whole it was a pretty disapointing installment. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This series continues to be engaging and well-written, but I can't help but be bothered by a glaring plot hole regarding the return of Janeway in an earlier installment that resurface in this one. (Namely: we are told that all versions of Janeway died at the same moment, yet in the original "Year of Hell" as depicted in "Before and After" we see Janeway dying at a much earlier date. I think there are other times that Janeway dies, too.)Nevertheless, putting that question aside, I am able to thoroughly enjoy the adventure this book and the rest of the series presents.
