It's been a good break these past couple of weeks off. I've managed to finish reading three Star Trek: Voyager books. Here's a quick rundown of each of them:
Book 1: Caretaker
This was a rehashing of the first episode in the series. Not too different from the it's television counterpart, a bit more in-depth in the beginning of the story. The Voyager is about to undertake a trip to track down the Maquis renegades when the entire ship is kidnapped and taken across the universe...thus beginning the entire series. You learn about Paris and his imprisonment, and just how he betrayed the Maquis. I must admit I was a bit choked up by the end of the story, damn that Janeway!
Book 2: The Escape
The second book sees Voyager well on their way heading back to the Alpha quadrant. As supplies are running low, they discover a planet rich with metal resources their ship desperately needs. Janeway makes the decision send a team down to investigate the seemingly abandoned planet. The away team ends up being swept up in a time warping predicament and get sentenced to death by a culture over 400 billion years old. I really enjoyed this book, it moved very fast and there were twists along the way. And B'elanna gets to kick major ass at the end!
Book 3: Ragnarok
This was the first book in the series to test my patience. Voyager comes across two civilizations hell bent on killing each other. They've ruined their entire planets, raping them for their resources to build countless battleships. They're been engaging in war for 300 hundred years...and Janeway intends on stopping them. Stupid, I know. Of course Voyager gets in the mix, kills a few people, and then leaves. Nothing happens in this story, it's so inconsequential to the Voyager storyline. Not to mention that the writing was quite awful.
I have two more books in the series waiting to be read, I might wait til summer to start them. As for the rest of the 20 or so books, they might have to be kindle books I'm thinking. I mean, how many STV books do I need? And who would I lend them to anyways? I only know a few other people who are really into the series like I am.
