Summary: Great backstory for Captain Janeway
Comment: I didn't read this book until the series was over, and now having done so, I wish Jeri Taylor had been more involved in the show, and had *stayed* involved -- her vision for Captain Janeway was so much better than what Berman and Bragga ended up with; gosh I loved this story!!
After reading this book I went back and watched the series premiere of Voyager, "Caretaker". Seeing it now was especially neat, since the book gave me background I didn't have otherwise.
I definitely recommend this book for any fan of Captain Janeway -- I think you'll find the Janeway we lost somewhere along the way in the series. Strong and capable, yet driven, often unrealistically so. Fiercely protective of her crew, for reasons I didn't know until I read this book!
Rating: 5
Summary: Easily readable and riveting.
Comment: I've never been a particularly big reader, quite frankly I never did see what other people found so enthralling about reading, until that is, I read Mosaic. I could not put it down. I bought the book because I liked the series and I think it sat on my shelf for about a year, but one day I picked it up and like I said, never put it down. It captured me totally and I was riveted the entire way through. As such, I have been constantly on the lookout for anything else Jeri Taylor has written. The book builds Janeway into a multi-dimensional character and any Star Trek fan, whether they are a reader or not, could not fail to enjoy this book. Can I give it six stars?

Summary: STV Mosaic - The "tapestry" of Captain Janeway's life!
Comment: This books author, Jeri Taylor, started as a writer on Star Trek The Next Generation in the middle of its run and soon became one of the shows most prominent writers. Near the end of that series, she, along with Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, became the creators, lead writers and executive producers of Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek's newest series.
While Voyager was received and perceived quite differently by many Star Trek fans, in my opinion, the series was a very good one despite it not living fully to its potential. The character of Captain Kathryn Janeway is a strong and multi faceted one played to perfection by Kate Mulgrew. The person most directly responsible for Captain Janeway's back story and overall development is Jeri Taylor, the author of this extraordinary novel.
"Mosaic" is more than just a novel in the series, it provides what Jeri Taylor described as Janeway's back story and it essentially adds up as the "tapestry" of her life and all of the decisions that brought her to where she was at the time this novel was published.
For several years, "Mosaic" and Jeri Taylor's sole other Star Trek Voyager novel, "Pathways" were considered to be the only Star Trek novels to be canon by a majority of the fandom. It has only been recently that that opinion has changed, for whatever reasons I'm not sure.
Jeri Taylor's writing style is perfect for this novel; the premise, plot setup and execution, characterizations and overall pacing of this novel makes for an excellent read in the Star Trek Voyager series. The cover art for "Mosaic" is perfect for the title!
The premise:
"Mosaic" tells the tale of Captain Kathryn Janeway's back story through the current events in her life in which she finds herself in a quagmire where she could lose an away team and one of her best friends or lose the entire ship. Faced with such a dire dilemma, Captain Janeway looks through the events of her life to find the solution to her current problem...
What follows from there, as stated above, is one of the most outstanding novels in all of the Star Trek series and most certainly one of the very few, if any, novels that "could" be considered canon in the Star Trek universe considering if you've read this book and watched the entire series you will see that Jeri Taylor did squeeze some of this into the shows.
I highly recommend this novel to any and all fans of Star Trek Voyager and Star Trek in general for you will most certainly find that you'll have an even better appreciation for the character of Captain Kathryn Janeway after you've read it. {ssintrepid}
