Would have worked better as an episode than a book,
By
This review is from: The Black Shore (Star Trek Voyager No 13) (Paperback)
THE PLOT OR PREMISE:
Janeway and crew are in desperate need of shoreleave...and they receive an invitation from an uncharted planet to visit and enjoy the paradise nature of the lands. All is not necessarily as it seems, including the citizens' treatment of their pets, the Neffaler, which seem surprisingly intelligent, almost sentient. WHAT I LIKED: Good descriptive prose, with lots of little sub-stories -- Kes' pre-occupation and disturbing telepathic forces; Paris' involvement with the daughter of the leader; and Torres' desire to find the source of some dilithium signatures. WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The sub-stories don't come together as well as they could, so the overall story is long and rather confused at times. Many of the characters seem "off" from their TV version, perhaps reflecting the author's pre-occupation with the characters' lives early in the series' history. Lots of descriptions are heavy on the visual, which would be impressive if it was a TV episode rather than a book, but doesn't work as well here. The ending is rather fragmented, focusing on three different groups' of actions at the same time. THE BOTTOM LINE: Would have worked better as an episode than a book, 3.00 lilypads out of 5.00.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A truly horrific Voyager adventure--exciting, intense,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Black Shore (Star Trek Voyager No 13) (Paperback)
This is one of the scariest Voyager books I've read. The aliens are truly horrifying, and I found that my heart was actually pounding as I read it. Saying that it "gave me the creeps" is an understatement. I liked the detailed characterization of the Voyager crew members, which gave each one a special focus (Chakotay's vision quest, Harry's music, Kes's telepathy, etc.). One of the more intense Voyagers, and a really good, solid read.

This is a very good Voyager book. only Escape is better. I would not recommend this book for the faint of heart in October!
