Children of the Storm by Kirsten Beyer
4.0
Voyager is back in the Delta Quadrant which is where she should be. If she were having her adventures back 'home' she would just be another version of the Enterprise. She travels by slipstream technology and is at the head of a fleet of nine ships on a mission called "Full Circle. They are looking for signs of the Borg and to reinitiate contact with the locals.
Children of the Storm is more of a companion than a sequel to the previously published Unworthy. Some of the events in this book run parallel to the story line in the earlier book. I would probably describe it as a 'bridge' novel.
It does have an independent story (Voyager encounters the Children of the Storm which fans of the novels first met in the Destiny Trilogy) but it is more concerned with the Full Circle Fleet. We get to know Captain Eden and the other ships involved. They have their own internal dramas. The events on Voyager, while important are used to frame the bulk of the story which is about the fleet itself.
It is essential reading if you want to keep up with the overall story arc.
