Customer Reviews

Star Trek with Seven

Excellent book, tied in lots of different events and had twists that I was pleasantly surprised by. Both my son and I enjoyed it and look forward to more from this author.

Enjoyed these two books by C. Golden

I am an avid Star Trek Voyager fan. I was greatly disappointed when the show concluded. Both Homecomming and The Farther Shore helped me find a bit of closure to this series that End Game did not provide. I'm especially gratified that Ms. Golden rectified the romantic relationship between Chakotay and Seven. It was a silly contrivance by the show producers. I'm glad that this problem was rectified here. I disagree with some of the other reviewers of these two books. I think Ms. Golden did an excellent job! I would vote for a Voyager movie based upon the story these two books tell. It would be a great movie and maybe provide a better ending to the show than the producers came up with! Thanks Christie! I hope you have further ideas for continuing the Voyager series and characters. They don't have to be lost in the Delta Quadrant to continue the story! Thanks!

The Farther Shore- Best Voyager book yet by far

First, I'll say, this was up to par with Echoes, my other favorite Voyager book, and kind of dark like Echoes... I recommend both. When you read the Farther Shore, it seems like Homecoming was just a prologue, this one is where the real story begins. The story gives good detail to what's going on with each Voyager character (well, except Neelix, but that's a given). Favorite part: definatly B'Elanna's quest... which ends, well... rather sadly and.. graphicly but it's great closure. And theres a gut wrenching twist in the middle. From then on... completely suspenseful. The only bad thing, I would say... is that it lacked... *proper closure* (for a P/T fan, anyway), but left it open for more adventures.

ST-Voyager: The Farther Shore Book Two

Star Trek - Voyager: The Father Shore book two is the conclusion to Homecoming of a two part series about the return of the Voyager and her crew to Earth. I must say this, the author will make you think as you enjoy this latest adventure to the relaunch of the Voyager series.As "The Father Shore" begins right where "Homecoming" left off we are in the middle of a conspiracy, the Voyager crew is being questioned, some of the crew are in prison (the Doctor, Seven and Icheb) and there is a hologram strike as the people of Earth try to cope with a cut in services. But, that is only half of the adventure as B'Lanna Torres is searching for her mother on Boreth a highly religious planet in the Klingon Empire, there is also a Borg virus spreading on Earth.There is suspense, intrigue, and mystery in this book as the Voyager crew trys its best to solve these trials by fire that have erupted since their return. I found the story to be very engrossing and entertaining as I read through the book... I didn't want to put it down as the adventure kept my interest and I wanted to find out what happens next.If you're a TREK fan, Christie Golden's two part series will keep you very well entertained. I just hope that this relaunch of Voyager will continue as the members of the Voyager crew lead their lives on Earth, Vulcan and Boreth. The book leaves some very interesting possibilities opened for the author or others to explore.The character development and the plot were excellent... there are some real good twists in this book and I'm not going to ruin it for you. "The Farther Shore" is a solid 5 star book as it will shake the reader up, just like the author intended, and make you think along the read. Being an avid Star Trek reader, I must say, "Homecoming and The Farther Shore" are a welcome addition to the Star Trek genre known as Voyager.

quenches your thirst

The second book of the Homecoming adventures picks up from where book one left off. However, with all the catchup handled in the first book you get right into the meat as soon as the second book begins. Finally, after a bit of inaction in the first book the Voyager crew gets back together and starts moving. Our favorite charactes are once again put together and put in a familiar setting. It was great having them back on Voyager and working in their old posistions. The books ends comfortably enough, giving readers the feeling that all has been wrapped up nicely. Most fans of the TV show loved how it ended but have been left wanting to find out more. Even after the first book, I had the feeling that I needed more and wondered how they would all move on after such a huge adventure. I have to say that this book quenched my thirst for info on my favorite crew and TV show, although it would be great to see them in movies and even more follow up books. I think most readers will feel comfortable with how all ends up.As a reviewer stated from the first book, the plot is not all that original with the Borg and all and it almost was too easy and making Libby into a super spy was a bit much. However, I don`t know if we who were waiting for this book were really looking for a great plot in as much as we were looking to find out what happened to all these people we almost grew to know over the past seven years on TV. If you were looking for the later, as I was, you won`t be disapointed.
