Customer Reviews

As only Christie Golden can...

This is a fantastic trilogy! The third book was as engaging as the first two, I simply could not put it down. Not only were the Voyager regulars beautifully written, but the Romulan characters were excellent. Jekri Kaleh was absolutely captivating, and I came to really care what became of her. I've heard several comments from various Star Trek fans who feel there were flaws with technobabble. And I also noticed the slip up where someone speaks to Paris on the bridge, when he had been missing since early on in the story. But to be completely honest, I don't see the big deal. When I saw Tom being addressed in that scene, I simply smiled to myself and went on. It didn't distract me from the story. Why? Because the story isn't really ABOUT the technobabble. It's about the hearts of these characters that I have come to love and adore so much. Christie Golden has a way of capturing the essence of the Voyager characters that seems to elude most authors. She gives them depth and a realism that many Voyager novels lack. I recommend this book to anyone who loves Voyager not only for the space battles and futuristic technology, but for the heart and the character interaction.Shadow of Heaven is a wonderful conclusion to a brilliant story. If you love Janeway's wry humor mixed with her deep devotion to her crew, or B'Elanna's Klingon temper toned down by her newly found sense of belonging and acceptance, and all the things that make each character unique ... if you love action, humor, and emotion all rolled up neatly into one story - this trilogy is for you.Kudos to Christie Golden! Once again, she wrote a book that touched my heart, and took my mind off of reality for a short while. What a gift. Thank you, Christie!

The coolest Trilogy Closes

Ive only started this book , but it greatly continues the previous two in the trilogy with great detail. Not one area isnt covered in this action packed story of survival , hope , and mission. Join the crew of the u.s.s. Voyager in its final battle against the trecherous "Dark Matter".

Certainly one of Voyager's finest

Shadow of Heaven was an incredible ending to an equally amazing epic that stretches across three volumes. One of the book's most compelling points is the masterful exploration of Romulan society and their people's frame of mind, a segment of the Star Trek universe that is too often neglected. The storyline is complex and yet its points, both superficial and philosophical, are easily grasped by the most casual readers. The characters are developed and believable. The readers will find them very easy to emphasize with. The story takes a most innovative approach to the all too typical "end of the universe" plot. Despite getting off to a slow start in book one, the story line accelerates to warp speed near the end of volume one and takes the reader on a ride of their life through volume 2 and brings them to a climatic conclusion that is bitter sweet in volume 3. Truly, Dark Matters shines brightly as one of Voyager's finest.

What a climax!

This last book in the series of three really packs a punch. Its' crossover aspects gives a fresh distration to the overall storyline. Well written, especially in regards to the character authenticity. You have to ge all three - don't try and read just this one by itself.

Exciting Conclusion!

An exciting and extremely satisfying conclusion to Christie Golden's "Dark Matters" trilogy. Golden manages to keep you on the edge of your seat as you turn each page. The various story threads interweave skillfully as the adventure builds to the end.
