Publisher Description
Lifting the Hem of the Universe
Spirits unbroken by the failed promise of the U.S.S. Dauntless, Captain Kathryn Janeway's indefatigable crew continues their odyssey of discovery through an enigmatic region of the Delta Quadrant, encountering a system inhabited by a species that, according to known physical laws, shouldn't exist.
These unusual beings, the Monorhans, hover near the edge of extinction; technology from the Starship Voyager™ promises life. Janeway, compelled by the aliens' plight, dispatches Seven of Nine and Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres to the Monorhan homeworld. But an unexpected shock wave crashes the shuttle carrying Torres and Seven, catapulting Voyager into a place beyond the fabric of space-time.
As B'Elanna and Seven wage an interpersonal war, Voyager struggles to prevail on an extradimensional battleground against an indefinable enemy. But fate has determined that one is inexorably linked to the other: the insurmountable chasm separating Voyager from her lost crew members must be bridged...or all will perish.
Customer Reviews
Star Trek: Voyager: String Theory #1
Excellent addition to the Voyager universe. While the resolution in the first novel was a bit abrupt the exploration of the dynamic between the characters Torres and Seven of Nine made the novel a worth while read.
An Okay Set-Up For the Next Two Installments
I mostly enjoyed the book; I liked the Monhorans, and the Torres/Seven plot line.
The problem I had with the book was the author’s apparent ignorance of Voyager basics; Janeway calling crewman by their first names - we all know she called Joe Carey “Mr.” or “Lieutenant” Carey, not “Joe.” Bridge officers hailing and/or referring to “Engine Room,” instead of “Engineering.” Crew members saying “This is so-and-so,” instead of “So-and-so to Janeway,” or whatever, in hailing other crew members.
It may seem like nitpicking, but mistakes like those I mention throw me right out of the story.
This book is necessary for setting up the next two String Theory installments, and as the step-off point to the over arching plot, it’s okay.
