Product Description
Product Description
In the climactic conclusion to the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy the greatest menace to the galaxy, the Borg, were absorbed into the Caeliar gestalt -- with one exception, Seven of Nine, who finds herself trapped in a half existence, neither drone nor human. Seven agrees to join Chakotay, the former captain of the USS Voyager, to rendezvous with the ships that Starfleet Command has sent into the Delta Quadrant and see if they can solve the mystery of the Caeliar's disappearance. In a region of space which has lived in fear of instant annihilation, Voyager is charged with reaching out to possible allies and resolving old enmities. But these are not the friendly stars of the Federation, and out here the unknown and the unexpected cannot be dealt with by standard Starfleet protocols.

Just like Beyer's previous novel in this series, Unworthy is absolutely fantastic. She has really got a grip on the characters the she is writing and their personalities and emotions and makes them far more real than any other Star Trek author.
This novel continues the story from where Full Circle left off, with Voyager and most of her crew returning as part of a fleet to the Delta Quadrant to explore and make friends. Tom is planning to resign and join his wife and daughter in hiding, while Seven has suffered a severe breakdown following the destruction of the Borg.
Beyer's new characters are as rounded and real as those we've known for years and fit in perfectly with the existing team - every one has good reason to be there, and the novel spends a good amount of time focussing on each of the characters rather than smothering us with one to the detriment of the others.
The plot is full of interesting and unexpected turns, and although one of the later twists was fairly obvious to me from early on it had its own unique sub-twist that hit me from out of the blue. The book feels like it has a good resolution even though there are a number of plot strands left hanging, and I'm really hoping that Beyer will continue to author this series.

I have read almost all of the Voyager novels and this is by far the best. It is fast paced, easy reading, and ties up most of the loose ends while leaving room for more stories!!! and ... I totally agree with the previous very thorough review from Jimternet Jim.
... also, nothing too dark which can characterise some of the stories.
I can't wait until Beyer writes another Voyager novel.

Well, having read this book and compared it to the 'raving' reviews left here by others I wonder if I read the same book! This book is clearly to set up a long series of novels set in the delta quadrant, but the author is so busy cleverly setting this up, and the teams personal dramas, that the biggest reason we buy the book is fogotten....the Adventure! 70% of this book is setting up the 'why go back at all' and how to get them together again, and it's all done in such a long drawn out fashion it felt like a kitchen sink drama at points. A shame as most of the Yoyager team are well fleshed, the aliens are cleverly creative and the reasons are all logical, but my god it felt like hard graft to get there as the reader. So much detail and time was afforded to the interpersonal relationships that could have been woven more effectivly within more dramatic events. I plodded on with it and the fact a big bad eight escape and suddenly there is no concern from the caracters, which I feel is a major lack of insight into what the Voyager team and Starfleet stand for as they I am sure would be far more keen to right what what went wrong; but I am sure this is a crude way of leaving something for another book. Far from brilliant, but clever in plot, if you want personal relationships to be more central than this is for you, but if you want to lose yourself in adventure that has relationships to help color and texture it then this is not for you.

Out of character
While 'Unworthy has an interesting plot, Beyer fails to write Voyager characters, in character. B'Elanna has become soft spoken, polite and is crying in almost every scene. Read more
