An all-new novel that continues the epic saga of the Starship Voyager!

As the Voyager fleet continues its exploration of the Delta Quadrant, investigating the current status of sectors formerly controlled by the Borg becomes a key priority. Two of the fleet’s special mission vessels, the U.S.S. Galen and U.S.S. Demeter, are left at New Talax to aid Neelix’s people, while the Voyager, Quirinal, Esquiline, Hawking, and Curie do a systematic search for any remnants of the Borg or Caeliar, even as the Achilles moves to a location central enough to offer aid to the exploring vessels as needed. As this critical mission begins, Fleet Commander Afsarah Eden, who has shared what little she knows of her mysterious past with Captain Chakotay, begins to experience several more “awakenings” as she encounters artifacts and places that make her feel connected to her long-lost home. She is reluctant to allow these visions to overshadow the mission, and this becomes increasingly difficult as time passes. But in the midst of this growing crisis, no one in the fleet could anticipate the unexpected return of one of Starfleet’s most revered leaders—a return that could hold the very fate of the galaxy in the balance.

A Voyager Thrill Ride Worthy of a Film Adaptation

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

"Star Trek Voyager: The Eternal Tide" is by far the most enjoyable "Star Trek" novel I have read since the `Destiny' Trilogy. Though I will admit that one or two things in the plot are a tad too convenient at times, Ms. Beyer nevertheless crafts an intricate, exciting story that ranks up there with the best of Trek. Characters are developed throughout the novel, and the action unfolds in an exhilarating, suspenseful way all the way to the climax. I could not put this book down, and with every page I could clearly see the story and wished that it would be adapted into a movie or television piece.

After all the darkness of "Star Trek: Destiny" and the `Typhon Pact' series, it's nice to read a story about wonder and space exploration. Yes, the unknown, cataclysm causing spatial anomaly is not new to the Trek universe, but this story is still leaps and bounds ahead of a frustrated Picard or friendless, loveless Sisko seeing the Federation crumble before their eyes (see "Star Trek: Typhon Pact Brinkmanship" and "Star Trek: Typhon Pact Rough Beats of Empire"). It is also about time that the editors chose to right a grave insult to Voyager fans and publish something that does Kathryn Janeway justice!

Super story from a tremendously talented Writer!

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2012

Few writers in the Star Trek realm have, in my opinion, come under the description of dynamic. Kirsten Beyer is that and more. I haven't read a book of fiction with so much heart in a while. She produced the perfect mixture of love, humor, action, mourning and great dialog. It's clear she not only loves these characters, but she understands them, knowing what they would say and do under various circumstances. This has been a problem with some authors, which gives their books a whole different feel when we'd rather be visiting old friends.

Yet Ms. Beyer has mastered the tone of why we enjoyed the series Voyager. Take how she handled Janeway's return. Perfectly plausible, plus not everyone is on board with it. Look how much time she spent on Chakotay's grieving in prior books, setting us up for his initial reaction and making the reunion that much sweeter. Look at the way she has explored all the many forms of love--familial, romantic, and love of mankind. She also assigns nobility to the sacrifices so that they aren't just numbers but characters we've come to care about. And through all the growth and tragedy she doesn't allow the people to forget a wonderful sense of humor.

I hope she is working on the next book and that the publishers don't give anyone else this relaunch assignment, as she left plenty of ideas for continuing this great series in the hands of a skilled writer!

Fun fun read

Kirsten Beyer did a great job in closing up this story arc. The storyline is filled with unexpected twist and turn, a great blend of action and complex deep rich character development. My only complaint here is the excessive romantic "teen" like romance angst and the over simplified and "Disney" like Miral Paris story here. Yeah, as if everyone that comes in contact with a child is immediately smitten with it... Yep sure, we all melt away when we see a kid. New holy trinity: Death, taxes, and love of children. Hurray!!! Star Trek movies, series and novels always romanticize children for some reason... The idea of Chakotay and Janeway romance to me shows a lack of understanding and appreciation for people who serve in the armed forced (Starfleet is partially a military organization). The bound forged in the line of duty between commander and his or her X/O is far more sibling like or even parental like.

What's the message sent here? The first female captain at the helm of a ST series just can't help but be a victim of her emotions? Sad in my humble opinion.

Other than that, fun read, well done job and hope she will write another novel one sooner rather than later.

Great way to reconnect with Star Trek

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2012

There was a time when I read all the Star Trek novels I could get my hands on until my interests moved onto other genres. I came across this title while browsing through the book section on my kindle and decided to give it a try. I have not read any of the other books in this post series end world but I was able to get the gist of the characters and what has happened to them to lead up to the story The Eternal Tide. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan to go back and read some of the earlier novels. The author has a good sense of the characters and how they would grow from the TV series. The action was well paced and dramatic. I was never a fan of the Q story lines as they were a little too obnoxious and deus ex machina for me but in this novel the continuum is finally up against something bigger and not solved with a snap of the fingers. The ending leaves open so many more stories and I look forward to more from this author.

brilliant couldn,t ask for more spoilers though

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 18, 2012

Well this book was brilliant and I couldn,t put it down. I was very dismayed at the death of captain Janeway and couldn,t understand how it fitted into the voyager theme. She should never have been killed of in the first place. But in saying that I have enjoyed the trips and stories of voyager specially with them going back into the delta quadrant. This book gave us a good insight into captain eden. It really explained captain Eden past and what she was though it was also sad. And into Q Janeways godson. And it tied up loose ends like tom and B,lanna, Seven and Cambridge. I loved having kes in the story can,t say I was surprised that she helped to save Janeway. It was a exciting and emotional journey for voyager and the reader. I can,t wait to see what will happen next and to see Janeway and chakotay move on to the next chapter of there lives. Highly recommend
