Summary: Absolutely Amazing!
Comment: This is, quite possibly, the best Voyager book out there. I'm an avid Voyager fan, and I read a few VOY books previously. I came away from those books feeling cheated - the plots were dumb, the characters were flat and two dimensional - those novels didn't depict the Voyager I loved.
Echoes, on the other hand, is excellent! The characters are fleshed out, believable, and amazingly like the characters on TV. Finally! I liked how the characters thoughts were also put down on paper. What made it really good, though, was the whole concept of parallel universes. It showed us all the possibilities, and the different reactions the characters (especially Janeway) had to all of them.
And the plot itself was amazing! I was totally captivated! This book wasn't your usual Voyager book - you had to THINK and really comprehend what you were reading, as it got a little confusing trying to keep track of all the different Voyagers. But it was fun, in a strange kind of way. It was really interesting. I couldn't put this book down. I read it in one long stretch.
Also, the writing was excellent. I found myself reading whole pages (sometimes more!) over and over again becaue the dialogue or whatever was just so wonderful...sad, happy, perfect, etc. This book was just wonderful in every way!
I know I may sound kind of ditzy in my enthusiasm, but this book really blew me away. I was expecting a book that took my favorite characters and mutated them into cardboard...but that wasn't what I got. I got a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon because of a book that was...well, thoroughly enjoyable! (Oy...corny, corny!)
Once again, if you only read one Voyager book...read this one. It's the best!
(By the way, did anyone notice that the middle names of the first two authors are Star Trek names? Wesley and Kathryn! And then 'Kiriki' can be Kira...or Kirk...uh oh. I think I'm a little too obsessed...)
For the billionth and final time, this is THE BEST Voyager book, so whether you borrow it from the library or buy it from here, make sure you read it. A must for any Voyager fan!

Summary: Not bad.
Comment: This is definitely ne of the better Voyager books, and goes to show that you don't always need a six book series for a good story. Basically, the story involves some sort of rift in space which spans across parallel dimensions, and after a period of time, it beams the entire population of a certain planet into space, each time accessing a different dimension, weird stuff. Voyager comes across this vast pool of bodies in space and investigates, and along the way bumps into some parallel Voyagers, and some of the crew get misplaced throughout these dimensions.
The story ends as most time travel/alternate dimension stories end, with the crew sacrificing themselves to preserve the timeline, and afterwards, nobody really knows what happened, sort of pointless in a way, bit like Year in Hell.
The writing was solid, excellent characterisations, and nearly every major character played a role, even Kes. The novel was set in season 3, pre seven of nine Voyager, so the story wasn't centered around the Borg. I felt this story really captured the 'essence' of season 3, each season of the show has a distinct look and feel about it, this book was most definitely season 3.
The novel also dealt with the alternate dimensions well, the left/right system was a good analogy, not as confusing as a more recent J&G novel series, the authors made it fairly easy to understand. Another point of mention, what was the go with three authors? It's a rare event to see a novel with three authors, but the results are there is this one.
A good read, reminiscent of the days when Voyager was relatively innocent, before the plot became too convoluted, maybe not worth buying, but definitely worth borrowing from a library of friend.

Summary: Very interesting!
Comment: Lots of stories about parallel universes. I was moved about people who had to go to die through time. They flooded space!! Lots of multiple Voyagers crews tried to work it out together. I liked short chapters and fast reads. A good read!! I couldn't put it down!
