I always loved Star Trek and it's some of the only sci-fi fantasy books I read. Some of good and some are not so good. Disenchanted with the previous few books in the Voyager series, I was glad to finally read a good one. Sometimes there are so many characters that it's hard to keep track of them, as in the Titan series. This one has quite a few due to the fleet of ships in the main plot line, but they were manageable and I was able to keep track of them fairly easily. A lot of the book is focus...more
Finally, a decent Voyager book.
With the titles since the end of the series (has it been that many years ago?), the ST authors have given short shrift to Voyager. While Tuvok has moved on to ST:Titan, the other Voyager characters have been left to languish in the wake of the other Trek novels and ongoing pantheon that culminated last year in the Destiny miniseries.
With the reboot from Destiny, several major storylines from the Voyager books were left hanging, and Voyager'...more

Unworthy is the latest in the Star Trek Voyager series. While I am not that familiar with the Star Trek Voyager novels, I've enjoyed watching Star Trek on TV. This latest installment, Unworthy, smoothly portrays the Voyager characters and introduces the new captain of the Starship Voyager, Afsarah Eden. Kirsten Beyer includes enough background that new readers can reasonably follow the story, although I felt that I would have benefited by having read the earlier book.

This was a very, very good read!!
B'Elanna and her 3 and half daughter Miral have been in hiding for more than a year. A renegade Klingon sect decided the best way to avert the apocalypse Miral's birth foretold was to kill her. B'Elanna was going to meet up with her husband Tom when her ship needs repairs. She decides to visit a friend.

This was pretty fun. I typically enjoy Beyer's novels. I was glad to see Voyager return to the Delta quadrant for genuine exploration. It was weird and kind of sad to see so many characters there, but still not to have it be the same old crew. The changes were good, though.
I thought the Indign culture was interesting in a completely messed up way. Revering the Borg freaks me out. I think Beyer needed to go into a little more detail about the Eight and Meegan, but I am sure that will...more

"Unworthy" continues where "Full Circle" with the USS Voyager leading a small Federation fleet back to the Delta Quadrant to investigate the demise of the Borg to make sure it is true. They immediately encounter a race that worships the Borg as gods and must work within the Prime Directive in dealing with the seemingly insane notion. Along the way they find themselves betrayed by one of their own and it could lead to the destruction of the entire Delta Quadrant fleet if not...more
As a followup to Full Circle, not bad! I think my biggest issue with this one is the sheer number of new characters. It got really hard to keep track of at times. Fantastic character development, though, and I am enjoying a couple of the new additions to the crew. It's nice to see that, unlike many episodes of the series, the characters haven't hit the "reset" button since the last novel. Some part were a bit slow, but I think they're on a good track with this relaunch.
An exciting and fast-paced story with many twists and turns. Often, Star Trek novels can be formulaic and easy to predict; However, this outing, like much of the modern Trek novels, proved to be unique and exciting, with many plot twists I certainly didn't see coming. I highly recommend reading this tale, but if you haven't read the Destiny trilogy or the previous Next Generation and Voyager relaunch novels, you may feel a little lost.

The Voyager characters I've come to know and enjoy were far removed from the characters in this book. Makes me wonder if the author has ever seen a Voyager episode, or else she's simply lost the plot. I did not enjoy this book, or the earlier one, might as well have been reading about complete strangers. I will think twice about ever buying another ST Voyager book if the quality of the plots don't improve.

This was an awesome book, a continuation of "Full Circle", Beyer's previous ST:V novel. I really can't wait to see what is next for the Voyager crew. Looks like Kirsten Beyer has taken over for Christie Golden in writing the continuation of the ST:V timeline, though hopefully we'll see a new one from her too in the future.

Story doesn't deviate much from character development,but neither does it sacrifice that for having enough action and suspense to keep the reader interested. Good read, overall:)
I've read the Star Trek series for decades now (horrible realization here), and this book was the first to catch my interest in years. I'm really looking forward to Ms Beyer's original content novel that was mentioned in the author's notes.
I love the star trek books. I think they are fun and an easy read. Not exactly award winning writing, but enjoyable to me.
Enjoyed it. It wasn't quite as daunting in scope as its predecessor, but the characters went to interesting places in their lives while the timeline moved forward in a needed way. Very satisfying read if you've been missing the Voyager cast.
This book took too long to set up the story. It didn't really get moving until halfway through.
I love all voyager books but this was a fourth in the Destiny series. Excellent.
