Pathways, by Jeri Taylor

That was just what I needed, a nice relaxing book that was entertaining and unstressful. I'd say this was a pretty solid Voyager novel. The plot deals with several members of the crew getting abducted and held in a prison camp. That plot serves basically as a framing story, since most the book is devoted to fleshing out the background stories of the main characters. The author already filled in Janeway's life story in her book Mosaic. Also The Doctor & Seven were excluded because they don't really have backstories. Some of the characters really held up and could carry a story, others just didn't work in my opinion. Chakotay, Kes & Tom's life stories were the most interesting. The others had their moments but were a little weak. So as a whole this wasn't perfect, but still worth the read.
