Star Trek: Voyager — A Pocket Full of Lies
{5/5} “There had been a hardness in her then, something she had gradually shed over the years they worked together to survive and explore the Delta Quadrant on their way home. She’d never lost the capacity to call on her inner strength, to stand and fight when it was warranted. But she had committed herself to finding what joy there was to be had along the way and allowed herself to form deep and powerful personal relationships with those she led.”
Star Trek: Voyager — A Pocket Full of Lies by Kirsten Beyer, published in 2016
The Voyager fleet contacts the Nihydron, because Neelix said they have good information about the Delta quadrant. But when they meet, the Nihydron present them with an image from their database. An image of a woman who has taken the lead of one side of a war — who looks exactly like Admiral Janeway. Meanwhile, Icheb is now an ensign serving as B’Elanna Torres’s assistant. B’Elanna has just given birth to her second child, a boy named Michael.
This is a sequel to the episodes “Shattered” and “Year of Hell,” and Janeway learns what happened in some alternate timelines.
After being absent for many books, our old friend Tuvok shows up here — he serves under Captain Riker on the Titan.
It’s about who you would be if your life took a very different direction, dealing with personal tragedy, and doing whatever it takes for those you love.
If you’re a fan of Janeway, this is the book for you.
I’ve read 9 books by Beyer. I previously reviewed Star Trek: Voyager — Atonement.
