5.0�toiles sur 5 STV #6 The Murdered Sun - Extremely well written!, Nov. 30 2003

Par	K. Wyatt "ssintrepid" (St. Louis, MO United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

"The Murdered Sun" is Star Trek Voyager's premier and most prolific author, Christie Golden's first novel in the Star Trek genre and arguably, among the best of the Voyager novels to date. From this very first novel of hers I found her plot framing, characterizations, pacing and overall writing style to be very enjoyable. Few of the authors during this early period in Star Trek Voyager's run captured the characters as well as Christie Golden does with this novel. Given that continued talent and several other titles in the Voyager series, she was later honored with the opportunity to write the inaugural novels in the Voyager relaunch series, "Homecoming" and "The Farther Shore."

The cover art for "The Murdered Sun" is pretty much standard fare for Voyager at the time, if not below standard.

The premise:

Voyager's sensors indicate a possible wormhole nearby and Captain Janeway is more than eager to investigate, hoping against hope to find a quicker way for her wayward starship to get home. Instead of finding the wormhole, Janeway and crew happen upon the Akerians who are a warlike race and are taking siege to Veruna Four. In order to get to the wormhole, Janeway finds that not only must she protect the innocent inhabitants of Veruna Four but she must risk direct confrontation with the Akerians.

What follows from there is, as stated above, one of the best early Star Trek Voyager numbered novels that is well worth taking the time to read. I highly recommend this novel to any and all fans of Star Trek fiction. {ssintrepid}

4.0�toiles sur 5 Solid Story, Ao� 6 2001

Par	Diane Bellomo (Baltimore, MD United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

It was nice going back to read this story. Copyright 1996, it shows beautifully the Voyager crew as they were at that time. Certainly, we've learned new things about the characters as the seasons progressed, and later novels reflect this, but these first efforts should not be dismissed just because they may not fit what we now know.

Besides, this one was chock full of references to Chakotay's Native American heritage, which was, in fact, integral to the plot - something sorely lacking in the show after about the second season. For this reason (and also because it's still a Kes-inclusive story), it's worth the read.

Okay, so the plot was a teensy bit predictable (two alien races at war, with a big secret between them), but why is that bad? This is a Star Trek tale, ferheavensake, it doesn't have to be the world's greatest novel. It just has to be a lively and entertaining ensemble story that makes me feel good at the end. Spot on for me, my friends!

I read it a million times, and it's always good. I love Christie, she is such a good writer. This is a great story of "things aren't always what they seem", and has a great, classic Trek message.

I'm amazed to see some negative reviews of this book. It's by far the best of the Voyager series. I'm not a big Voyager fan, but I would be if the characters on TV were as... Read more
