Product Description
Under the guise of helping the crew find a way home, a group of aliens board the "U.S.S. Voyager" TM, and then steal the main computer. To get it back, Captain Janeway is forced to negotiate with the thieves -- who are from a consortium of planets where thievery is a way of life. But as Janeway and the crew fight to retrieve their computer in time to save the barely functioning ship, they become embroiled in a political battle that could not only destroy the "U.S.S. Voyager," but the crew as well.

Not a bad offering overall, but whoever says this is the *best* Voyager book ever written obviously hasn't read too many! Unlike someone else, I enjoyed the planet's political situation. But I got *very, very, quite, extremely bored* when reading about the Doctor's "illness." It seemed like half the book was Kes and Harry standing in front of a computer in sickbay, trying to figure out what was causing his condition. Come *on*--they exchanged medical jargon like two dueling dictionaries. If you read this one, do it to see Captain Janeway and B'Elanna Torres as helpless hostages--an interesting position for those two characters, especially--NOT to see the Holodoc get sick.

"Violations" is by far the best written Trek Novel I've ever had the pleasure of reading! Characterization is perfect and adult.. not a "kiddie" as the Television series.. the characters actually act more like human beings! It also has a great storyline to boot! I've never read anything better!

Many wrong details
24 April 2000
Format:Paperback
This is surely not the best star trek voyager book. There are just too many wrong details. For examples, as far as I know, Captain Janeway never called Chakotay: "Number one". She always use "Commander" instead (Number one is the way capt. Picard calling Riker). And since when the EMH has a name (this book name the Doc: Zimmerman). It's mentioned also that Voyager's computer main processor had trouble of handling data 5000 Megabyte/second. Come on.. read ST TNG Tech. Manual at least about the computer capability. 5000MB/sec is too small. Last thing, The EMH always starts with the promp :"Please state the nature of medical emergency!" instead of the phrase "What is the medical emergency?" like this book used many times. The political intriques also kind of confusing sometimes. Not many action in this book. Certainly there are beter ST Voyager's books such as Battles lines, Ragnarok, Marooned.

I've Read Better Fan-Fiction
31 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback
Let me start off by saying I have read a lot of books and fan fiction. And this one... well, let's just say I do not recommend this book.
To start with, if you've seen the episode "Concerning Flight," you'll laugh out loud while reading this book. (And yes, I know the episode came *after* the book - still, it's no excuse.) Same premise as the episode, the main computer gets stolen. Ok, so Voyager just needs to get it back, right?
Well, I started reading this and so they refer to the Doctor as Zimmerman. Ok, I can get over that and ignore that little bit. However, after about the 40th major error that anyone watching more than 15 minutes of any given Voyager episode could have spotted, that's when I got a bit annoyed. I mean, if you're going to actually write a book on something, shouldn't you do your homework? f your answer to that question is no, well, I have a few papers you can write for me.
Why did I continue reading this book? Just to see how bad BAD could actually get. And let me tell you, bad got quite bad.
Don't read this is you're expecting a good plot, characters and writing. DO read it if you have some time on your hands and are in the mood for something humorous. For a fan who needs to read everything, go for it. It won't kill you and it might just make you appreciate the other books even more.
