It was brutal and awkwardly obvious, at least to me. Did the two of them have a personal beef? She straight up killed most of the new long term characters Golden had created, and sidelined the ones she couldn't kill. Confused? Me too.Īdditionally, this story felt a bit like Beyer sweeping all of Golden's toys off the table. It's very disjointed and told largely by skipping huge chunks of time and then having characters flash back to events we missed, except I think Beyer sometimes forgot she was in a flash back, because she'd, for example, have Chakotay telling a story that included B'Elanna's point of view while she hatched a plot that he never found out about. The second story was more interesting, but the telling was weird. Sure, maybe her closest friends would have jumped on that irrational train, but can you imagine being one of the security officers being told, "The 70 of you are being sent to the planet to fight 300 Klingon warriors in order to retrieve a baby from a group of people who actually have a huge vested interest in keeping her safe anyway." Wow. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows at that. The first story continues the thing with B'Elanna and Miral, wherein the baby is kidnapped and Chakotay ends up sending almost a hundred people to fight and many to die to save one child's life. It's hard to rate this as a whole because it didn't read like one book, but rather two loosely related novels smashed together. For though destiny has dealt them crushing blows, Voyager's crew must rise to face their future.and begin a perilous journey in which the wheel of fate comes full circle. As Voyager is drawn into a desperate struggle to prevent the annihilation of the Federation, lives are shattered, and the bonds that were forged in the Delta Quadrant are challenged in ways that none could have imagined. With the aid of their former captain, Admiral Kathryn Janeway - as well as many old friends and new allies - Voyager's crew must unravel an ancient mystery, placing themselves between two warrior sects battling for the soul of the Klingon people.while the life of Miral hangs in the balance.īut these events and their repercussions are merely the prelude to even darker days to come.

B'Elanna Torres and her daughter, Miral, are both missing in the wake of a brutal attack on the Klingon world of Boreth. Voyager is dispatched on an urgent mission to the planet Kerovi, Captain Chakotay and his first officer, Commander Thomas Paris, must choose between following their orders and saving the lives of two of those dearest to them.
