Caretaker by Jeri Taylor, L.A. Graf, Michael Piller

4.0

Caretaker is the first numbered book in the ST Voyager series and it is a tie in book with the Pilot episode of the same name.

The dialogue and the plot are almost identical to the television episode. The focus of the story is Captain Janeway and Tom Paris.

There are some interesting things in the book that could not be included in the episode because of time constraints. We see a more in depth look at DS9, a moment with Odo and we get inside the thoughts of the various characters as they are whisked away into the Delta Quadrant.

It was a good pilot episode and the book makes a good introduction to the Voyager Lit-Verse.
