Seven of Nine

When Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) joined the cast of Voyager I thought she was a great addition to the show. Not unlike other people though, I felt she was way over used to the detriment of the other characters and their development. So it was with this trepidation that I approached this book. However, knowing the quality of Christie Golden's past works I jumped right into the book.What a wonderful surprise, Seven on Nine is an absolutely brilliant book with a great plot line and really good villains. In my opinion, past trek books with insectoid species were not done very well. In this the author uses an insectoid species and does it very well. Without giving too much away, let's just say that Seven of Nine is an absolutely great story that is hard to put down. If you've not read it yet, you need to. Unfortunately it appears to be out of publication already. It's definitely worth a little extra money to order this one through [other sources]! Thank you to the author for this one.

I'll admit I favor Star Wars over Star Trek, and I say that proudly. The only reason I like NG and Voyager is because of the Borg. When I saw this novel about Seven of Nine, the female Borg on Voyager, I checked it out. I was very impressed, it had a good plot and it showed a side of Seven that was rarely seen, the human side. Also, the suspense kept me reading until it was finished. All in all, it was a great book and I highly recommend it. PS All you Trekkies turn away from the Dark Side and become one with the Force (I always wanted to say that.)

Unlike most of the Voyager novels, I didn't rush right out and buy this book the day it was released. Contrary to the norm, I am not much of a Seven of Nine fan. I like Jeri Ryan very much, but I just felt the character was drastically over used, and frankly, I was tired of her. But, I am a devoted Christie Golden fan, and am unable to resist anything written by her.As usual, she did not disappoint. This book is without a doubt about Seven of Nine, but Ms. Golden wrote it in a wonderfully creative manner that included all the characters. She has a knack for capturing the essence of the Voyager characters that makes her writing a sheer delight to read. The same is true of this book.The story is engaging, the aliens are creepy, and Seven is interesting and very, very likable. Those are words I do not say easily, believe me. This is a terrific book! Even if you aren't part of the masses that think Seven is the best thing since peanut butter, you'll enjoy this story.

This book is another one of those Star Trek books that keeps you on your toes. It is dramatic, scary, funny, and has just about any other aspect of a good book you can think of. Next to Pathways, it is probably the best book I've ever read.

I haven't actually read any other books by Christie before, but now I definately will. This book was very well written, and as with all good Star Trek storylines, it didn't stretch the Realms of Reality too far. All I can say to people who hated this book is COULD YOU DO BETTER?? And I bet the answer is no. If you think you could do better, hey, why not try, maybe I'd get to review that as well! CYA!!XXX
