People who expect this to be the typical Voyager book (straight adventure) will also have to deal with the darker side of Trek fiction. Janeway gets her ship and crew home at last, only to have members of her crew abducted for political reasons. There are sneaky Starfleet agents, the inevitable Borg-threat retread, the equally inevitable holographic plot retread, and worst of all (and the main reason I knocked a point from this review) the ultra-bloated inevitable TWO-BOOK PLOT retread.Don't read this book if, like me, you think Barbie of Borg is a mistake; unfortunately, she figures VERY heavily in this book. One only hopes that Christie Golden will have permission and good sense enough to allow Seven of Nine to die.
