Ca. die erste Hälfte des Buches sind Fan-Service. Natürlich wollen die Fans von Voyager jedes Detail wissen, ab dem Zeitpunkt wo die Serie aufgehört hat. Das ist natürlich schwierig für ein Buch, das ebenfalls einen Plot haben soll.
Daher fand ich die erste Hälfte des Buches super, allerdings kann ich verstehen dass es für manche, die ggfs. nicht ganz so harte Fans sind, etwas langatmig ist.
Dann nimmt die Geschichte an Fahrt auf und wird recht spannend...und bricht dann in der Mitte ab.
Ich habe mich auf 10 neue Geschichten Voyager gefreut, nachdem die Serie zu Ende ist, und leider sind es nur 5 weil alles geteilte Geschichten sind. Das ist schade, denn ob der Seitenanzahl hätte man das wirklich auch zusammen fassen können.

Mir hat diese Geschichte jedenfalls gut gefallen.

I read this entire book in one sitting. Fairly simple, mediocre writing, but entertaining enough. As a Warhammer 40k fan, the holo-rebellion was actually pretty funny. That's how humanity's golden age of peace and progress ends and the Age of Strife begins as all of our former xeno allies turn on us in our moment of greatest need.

On a side note: why is Star Trek so dang Americentric? "Earth's antebellum era," really?

I recently got into Star Wars books on audio. They’re so good! And that got me thinking…are Star Trek books good, too? I love Voyager, so I chose this one to start exploring. It takes place immediately after the last episode of Voyager. As a fan of the show, I really enjoyed this book. Since I know the characters so well, reading the book was a lot like watching an episode, because I could see and hear all of the characters in my head clearly. The writing was fine, not the best, but this was definitely a pleasure-read for me. 
CW: there are random short chapters that depict child abuse. I skipped them completely and still enjoyed the story.

It was really nice having some closure on what happened when the crew got home.

Exciting, fast paced read full of all the characters we’ve come to know and love. Feels like an authentic continuation of the Voyager series

She gets bonus points for ending the very rushed relationship between Chakotay and Seven of Nine. Sorry, but that storyline was forced, and I was glad that Golden ended that pairing as quickly as it was formed and at least gave a better understanding about the break-up than the writers of the show did in bringing them together right after Chakotay had once again showed how much he still loved Janeway in the Quarra episode.

Anyway, other than that...the book was still a nice read. It was nice to have a glimpse of what their return would have been like (and in a canonized work not just fanfiction).

Not really sure where all the love for this book is coming from, maybe nostalgia. I've read a lot of really bad Star Trek, and this is pretty bad. It's a painful read, and I'd recommend it only for the completionists out there that have to read the whole series.
