The Farther Shore (Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming #2)
When an unstoppable Borg plague breaks out upon Earth, blame quickly falls on the newly returned crew of the "Starship Voyage (TM)." Did Kathryn Janeway and the others unknowingly carry this insidious infection back with them? Many in Starfleet think so, and Seven of Nine, in particular, falls under a cloud of suspicion.
Now, with a little help from the "Star

I only have two quibbles with this book that keep it from being a five-star review: One, most importantly and most obviously to anyone who's familiar with my reviews, is that it's only half a story, and I will never give any book that is not a complete story in and of itself five stars; this book has no beginning. One could not pick it up and read it without having read "Homecoming" without being almost completely lost.

Amazing book. Entertaining, realistic, true to the spirit of Star Trek. Particularly in the approach the author takes on current social/political issues. She manages to thoughtfully and in a mature fashion address human (well, sentient) rights, treatment of prisoners and "possibly maybe an enemy detainees", all without breaking the 4th wall or losing track of the story of Voyager's return home. And she does it without making it a politicized, ham handed diatribe. She stimulates th...more
This was a good conclusion to the Homecoming series. I enjoyed the most recent "final" showdown with the Borg and it is always good to see the Voyager team working together.
My one complaint about the novel (I would like to rate this more as a 3.5) is the annoying holographics rights story line. I thought it was one of the real "jump the shark" plotlines in the TV series and it continues to annoy and baffle me here. Actions taken by the activists are criminal and cruel a...more

This book was not any better than the first. Christie Golden should be ashamed of herself. Such fanfic panderings.
The B'elanna story was outstanding through. It had so little to do with the rest of the plot that it could have and should have stood by itself. B'elanna and her mom: 5 stars. The rest of the book: 1 star.

This review is of both parts of Homecoming together. I definitely suggest reading them in immediate sequence; these are NOT stand-alones.
While they lack a few things I really really wanted to see (e.g. (view spoiler)), what we did get to see what a lot of fun. Libby was great. B'Elanna's adventure was moving on multiple levels. And the whole Borg (view spoiler)...more

I found this book only marginally better than the first in the series, but still found the story rather unbelievable (even for the Star Trek universe). I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a die-hard Voyager fan (which I am), and even then I'd give a warning.
I thought it was okay, but not brilliant. The different story lines were a little disjointed, and I genuinely found the whole Borg plotline a little hard to believe.
I liked that it set up the crew with their post show adventures/roles, I just thought some of the journey there was a bit of a stretch.

The sequel to "Homecoming" this book concludes the story of what happened to the Voyager crew after they arrived back in the Alpha Quadrant. A good ending to a fabulous series. Enjoy!

These 2 books were the perfect ending for Star Trek Voyager. They are so far the best Star Trek books that I have ever read.
Quick read, easy-to-follow storyline. This book is part two of two.
Not a big fan of the Voyager books, but this one delivered.
Makes all the slow build in Homecoming finally worth it.
second book of the series
Great book so far
It was wayyyy worse than the first book. There could be many improvements made.
Better than the first! read this book in 2 days. Voyager crew uncovers the borg plot on earth, begins new realtions with each other, and awaits their futures in starfleet.
This book was just as good as the first. I really enjoyed reading them, it finished out the TV series well for me.
Re-reading this Sept 09, actually enjoying being back with the Voyager crew so giving it another star!
