This book is about the Star ship Voyager badly in need of supplies. Their sensors trace an abundance of plant life on an uninhabited planet. Captain Janeway leads an away team to the planet to replenish their supplies when they meet the non-detected inhabitors of the planet, the Urrythans. Urrytha has a mysterious, but beautiful flower. The flowers have very fragrant blossoms, but what the Voyager team doesn't know is that these plants are more dangerous than they appear. These flowers are causing the Voyager team to fall into comas, one by one. Captain Janeway runs into problems after Ensign Kayla fell into to this so called LONG SLEEP. The Urrythans are amazed that the Ambiana (the flower) had such quick effect on Ensign Kayla. The Urrythans stated that it is impossible for Kayla to escape this LONG SLEEP. But as usual, Captain Janeway had her mind set, she will find a cure. She will get her away team of the planet safely. Will Captain Janeway find the cure? Will the encounter with the Urrythans be peaceful? If you want to know more you REALLY have to read this book. I recommend it to any TREKKIE!!

David did an excellent job putting this one together. The story flowed constantly in the same direction with only minute reflections on the past. I was easily able to discern the timeframe of the story by crew comments and references. It was refreshing to have a story that fit between some of the televised episodes. I was riveted to the book and hope he writes again. I am fortunate to have a signed copy of Chrysalis

I enjoyed reading a Star Trek book without a "red shirt curse". Interesting how Wilson wraps up the ending
