4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting situation, Feb 22 2003

By

Clannad Yenti (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Death of a Neutron Star (Paperback)

Although not the best ST:VOY book I've read (check out "The Nanotech War" for a great read), the plotline was interesting and suspenseful.

The entire book leads up to a final encounter, where Janeway and her team uses innovative and surprising methods to save their ship, their new allies, and perhaps the rest of the galaxy.

These types of situations aren't new to any Federation Crew, but Kotani and Smith provide a unique and great conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real page-turner!, Dec 29 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Death of a Neutron Star (Paperback)

I couldn't put this book down -- lots of suspense, possible doom if Voyager couldn't use science to solve the problem of a warlike race using the explosion of a neutron star to destroy its enemies. This book was fun from a scientific standpoint, but also, all the familiar folks were there, and their relationships rang true for me (i.e. Janeway and Seven, Janeway and Torres, Janeway and Paris, etc.) I have read several Star Trek books, and this was one of my favorites!

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent Star Trek Voyager book!, July 19 2002

This review is from: Death of a Neutron Star (Paperback)

While not being one of the best "Voyager" books, this is defintely not among the worst of them. In fact, it was pretty refreshing in that it wasn't the normal "Voyager" book which is typically based on the old "We need food from this planet and the bad guy's won't let us get to it." That said, I rather enjoyed the book, despite what some of the other reviewer's stated about the author focusing too much on Janeway's enjoyment of coffee and the ever present technobabble. Star Trek in and of itself is based a lot in technobabble, no big deal.
In my opinion, this was an extremely well done first foray into the Trek world by Eric Kotani. Hopefully we'll see some more trek stories from him in the future. Overall a well done book and I would recommend it to anybody who reads trek. Thank you to author for a good read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Im sorry, Eric, but you have not written a good book at all.
Most of the Voyager books that I've read have been quite good--especially the ones by Christie Golden. She can really write. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best voyager book yet!
This is by far the best Voyager book. My favorite Star Trek book is Double Helix #2 Vectors, Death of a Neutron Star came close to beating it. Read more
