ST-Voyager: Section 31 Shadow

This ST-Voyager book involves Section 31 a secret organization within Starfleet itself, covert and mysterious guardians of the Federation. Seven of Nine finds a series of accidents and mishaps plaguing her and Captain Janeway makes the connection that there maybe a plot afoot to kill Seven of Nine.This book has really good character interaction between Seven and Janeway, also Seven and Torres. We see good charater fleshing out in this book. As the book starts, I found that watching paint dry could happen before the real meat of the book comes to fruition. But the pace of the book picks up and comes to full stride toward the ending.The Voyager crew comes to the aid of a civilization fleeing their world due to a binary star system colision and won't make it clear when the disaster occurs. As this sub-plot evolves the main plot becomes more involved and lethal.All in all, this is a good book and once you get to reading it, you'll be fascinated by the intrigue.NO LAW, NO CONSCIENCE, NO STOPPING THEMThis is intriguing reading with a mystery and is written with a tegumentary style.

How to earn 5 stars easy

This book is an example of what Star Trek books should be. I have read some reviews of others where grammar mistakes or plot confusions earned the book a low rating.Shadow only had one grammar error that I noticed which for books like this is an accomplishment.Even though I hadn't read any of the other Section 31 books yet, I thought the plot was great. It affects Seven's humanity and security on the ship. Pick it up for intrigue and just enough fun to make it a good read.

Intriguing, well-written-worth adding to your "collection"

I can now see why this book was on the Best Sellers' shelf of Waldenbooks! The plot-line keeps you interested through out the book, and the text is quite well-written. One of the few books I've been able to stick with over a period of time, and definitely one of my favorite Voyager books. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes Voyager, good writing, and intriguing plot lines!

Seven's Opinion

I enjoyed this book because it proved once again that actions can actually affect people in opposite sides of the galaxy. The charcters seemed real, especially Seven of Nine whom I've never read a Voyager book with her in it before. It was suprising how long Section 31 was operating on Voyager and you never would've guessed the link between them. Very well written, showing both the best and worst traits of the Federation 5 stars and a must read.

Pretty good Star Trek book.

I started reading this book and thought it would be just another Voyager book thats part of some new mini series. As I read the story gets better and the pace picked up. But basically the story is like this; Voyager finds two stars about to collide and go supernova. Then on sensors they pick up a huge pre-warp ship trying to get out of the system before the stars blow. Captain Janeway decides like all other captains to toss out the prime directive and save the ship because they know it will be destroyed when the stars go because it is to close. Voyager comes to save the day but they have a little trouble when some weird accidents start happening to 7 of 9. I will let you read the rest and find out what happens.
