Entertaining, ghostly, and mysterious

So far I haven't been really impressed by the numbered Voyager novels that take place during the show. This is the first Voyager novel that takes place in the second season of the show. Beside number novels 2 "The Escape" and 3 "Ragnarok" 4-6 have been rather uneventful. This novel isn't much better, but it shows Janeway defying the prime directive in helping the Drenarians whose planet is almost being destroyed by cosmic earthquakes, while also trying to do business with the suspicious Televek. Sometimes I wonder how much Janeway's 'kindness' will go in helping almost every vunerable race in the DQ from the Ocamapa to the Drenarians. The "Ghost" in the crew's vision only appear during the beginning and end of the novel. Overall this book is much better than books 4-6 but not as good as "The Escape" or "Ragnarok".

Pretty good story.

This is a pretty good story; there's plenty of action and drama, plenty of excitement, and if the authors' understanding of the Prime Directive is a little faulty, I suppose that's a fairly minor quibble. All in all, it's reasonably competently written, the characters ring mostly true, and the overall feel captures the feel of the fairly early Voyager episodes pretty well. Worth the read if you find yourself missing the show and wanting another story from the period before the Seven of Nine era.

A great read with a good, firm plot

First off, the book really starts off on a high note with a troublesome encounter in the beginning. Throughout the book, however, there is a plot that makes the reader wish he could scream to the Voyager crew about the danger ahead of them. It's a good read, and if I were you, I would by all means, pay full price for this book if I couldn't get a discounted used book. It's just that good, in my opinion.

Star Trek Voyager:Ghost of A Chance

I thought this book was great. I would recommend it to any Star Trek fan.

Good Read

For novels of the Star Trek shows, I have a bit of lowered expectations as they never seem to live up to the episodes.However, for a Star Trek novel, this one is pretty good. Yeah, there are some little minor problems in it, but I don't think I've read a television series novel without any. The storyline kept my interest and I actually wanted to keep reading it to find out how everything worked out in the end (because we all know no main characters will die and everyone will generally be happily ever after). So if you're looking for another Voyager novel to read, pick this one up.
