Following the events of the unforgettable Star Trek crossover trilogy Destiny, the new captain of the USS Voyager embarks on a dangerous mission that is paved with blood and haunted by ghosts of the past.

When the USS Voyager is dispatched on an urgent mission to the planet Kerovi, Captain Chakotay and his first officer, Commander Thomas Paris, must choose between following their orders and saving the lives of two of those dearest to them. B’Elanna Torres and her daughter, Miral, are both missing in the wake of a brutal attack on the Klingon world of Boreth. With the aid of their former captain, Admiral Kathryn Janeway—as well as many old friends and new allies—the crew must unravel an ancient mystery, placing themselves between two warrior sects battling for the soul of the Klingon people...while the life of Miral hangs in the balance.

But these events and their repercussions are merely the prelude to even darker days to come. As Voyager is drawn into a desperate struggle to prevent the annihilation of the Federation, lives are shattered, and the bonds that were forged in the Delta Quadrant are challenged in ways that none could have imagined. For though destiny has dealt them crushing blows, Voyager’s crew must rise to face their future...and begin a perilous journey in which the wheel of fate comes full circle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully written book...this from a Janeway fan...
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2011

I started rereading my Voyager books over the holidays, and then checked out Amazon to see if anything new had been written since Spirit Walk (which I had never actually even read although I owned the books since a cursory glance made it clear Janeway wasn't in it much) and learned that Janeway has been dead (!!!) in Trek lit since 2007.

Ten years ago, if I learned Janeway had been killed, I would have abandoned Trek and never looked back. I loved her, her strength, compassion, and authority. And even when she made decisions I loathed (Tuvix!)or when she went to the brink of the dark side (Equinox), I loved her even more for those imperfections that humanized her. Janeway was Trek to me. Why would I want to read books about a Trek world that didn't feature her? I wasn't going to do it, in spite of the rave reviews Full Circle and Unworthy have received.

But I finally went back and read the 4 Golden relaunch books, and in spite of the following:
1. the original Voyager crew has split up,
2. Janeway isn't the main protagonist,
3. and new characters were introduced that took up print that could have otherwise been used on original Voyager characters

-- I actually enjoyed the books.

Which led me to rationalize how Janeway's role in Trek has changed as an Admiral, how she could never really be the main protagonist in future novels about Voyager, but would have to be relegated to an advisor and counselor. Reading the Golden books reminded me it was possible to enjoy stories that featured other characters. So although a part of me resists Janeway's death 110%, I gave Beyer's "Full Circle" a chance.

It was wonderful. Beyer is clearly familiar with and fond of the show, the characters, and the fans (a believable and poignant J/C bone is tossed before Janeways' death, for example). It is a well written, well imagined, articulate piece of writing that does a great job tying the 4 Golden books together and brings in some threads from the television series to move the story along. The pacing is excellent, with lots of drama and action interwoven with quiet character scenes. It introduces new characters that I grew to love (Counselor Cambridge is fantastic, and Captain Eden has the potential to be), and develops believable character arcs for the original crew -- Chakotay has never been better. Janeway is featured heavily in this book, and by having the characters grieve and come to terms with her death, it gave me a feeling of catharsis too (although Janeway being dead still sucks, excuse my french).

If you are a Janeway fan who has sworn off Trek b/c of Janeway's death, I sympathize, I really do, and I totally understand that impulse. But if you had any attachment to B'Elanna or Seven or Tom or Harry or Chakotay, or if the world of Trek intrigued you one iota beyond Janeway, then I highly recommend you give Full Circle a chance.

I do hope writers of future books will bring Janeway back in spirit quests or in flashbacks or in memories. Or maybe TPTB could be more direct and actually resurrect her somehow, but that does raise the question of how to make her role as an admiral interesting, but I am sure Beyer could figure something out.

Or, maybe TPTB should launch a "Voyager Lost Logs" series and have our crew all together, back in the Delta Quadrant having adventures again.

Or maybe TPTB could have a website with fan fiction that actually gets read and approved by someone - not as canon, but as being well written and consistent with canon so I don't have to slog through all of the horrible/explicit/completely out of character writing that is out there on the web to find the few gems.

Well anyway. Looking forward to "Unworthy".

The first of the post-Nemesis Voyager novels, this book deals with a number of storylines at once. There is B'Elanna Torres, Tom Paris, and their daughter Miral, trying to escape a vicious group of Klingon warriors who think Miral is the fulfillment of a bad prophecy. There is the Voyager's actions during the catastrophic Borg invasion, which leaves much of the crew devastated at the loss of Kathryn Janeway. Finally, there is the beginning of Operation Full Circle, which is intended to discover whether the Borg are really dead by sending Voyager back to the Alpha Quadrant. I came into this novel with a bit of trepidation, as I rather disliked the Voyager TV series, and have not read any Voyager novels in the past. But I came away quite satisfied and impressed with this wonderful effort from Kirsten Beyer. Though it was not without faults, I found it overall to be an excellent novel.

The first part of this novel, which deals with B'Elanna and Miral up against the Warriors of Gre'thor (the Klingons who think Miral is the fulfillment of a bad prophecy), is excellent. The Warriors kidnap Miral. B'Elanna, along with Emperor Kahless, go to find her. This is a highly readable and gripping story, and I had trouble putting the book down. Beyer makes it exciting without sacrificing the personal element to the story- your heart breaks for B'Elanna and Tom throughout, as they try to reconstruct their marriage, which is strained by the turbulent events depicted.
As the story moves on from those events, Beyer's marvelous knack for dialogue and character dynamics continues. But it becomes a bit of a slog. Part of it deals with the preparations for Operation Full Circle, but the other part delves into the characters' personal lives. Chakotay is devastated by the loss of Janeway, and a considerable amount of time is spent on his coming to terms with it, from speaking to therapists (and the new character Counselor Cambridge is excellent) to spending time on remote islands for weeks in isolation. We also see glimpses of the personal lives of Harry Kim, Seven of Nine, and new character Asfarah Eden. These are interesting stories, but they take up a lot of space in the narrative. I had somewhat mixed feelings about them. They were extremely well-written and easy to visualize, but in many cases they simply lasted too long, and left me impatient for the story to advance beyond them.

But all things considered, this was an excellent novel, one of the better entries in the Novelverse. I have reserved my complete judgment for the later novels; this one feels like a smaller part of a larger narrative (which it is; it ends with the beginning of the expedition to the Delta Quadrant, which the later novels pick up on). I am very much looking forward to the later entries.

Wow, this book was a gloriously satisfying rollercoaster. So heartbreaking, but it makes for a compelling read. The depth of the characters background is so absolutely rich and true to the Voyager I know and love. Also the nonlinear narrative is fantastic and kept the intrigue running throughout the whole book. Bravo to Kirsten Beyers, for her undivided attention to detail and for descriptions that invigorate the imagination. 5 stars indeed!

Sinceramente esperaba mas de este libro. Admito que lo compre basicamente para satisfacer mi curiosidad de JC shipper. Al fin y al cabo, este es el libro en el que Janeway y Chakotay se lian, pero oh dios mio, dedican taaaaan poco tiempo a explorar la relacion entre J/C. A total waste.

El resto del libro no esta mal. Demasiado centrado en aspectos que a mi, personalmente, no me interesan.
El mundo necesita mas Star Trek romance.
Ay, Voyager tienes mucho que aprender de DS9...

5.0 out of 5 stars Best post TV series novel I've read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2010

Star Trek novels set after the TV series have been a mixed bag (The previous Voyager novels: Homecoming, The Farther Shore, Spirit Walk 1+2 I mean you, what trash!) Kirsten Beyer rescues Voyager and sets her off in a brilliant new direction ably using the mess she was left by Christie Golden and Peter David in the novel 'Before Dishonor' to craft a brilliant story that really made me feel like i was experiencing a new episode of Voyager. I felt that most of the characters were written very well even Chakotay, who has not been very interesting in books or the series for quite a while. Also Janeway as an Admiral, which i never liked, is brilliantly used here. Here's hoping Beyer's novels continue with more frequency in the future. If you like Voyager this is a must buy! if you like Star Trek novels you know some are truly well written (e.g. The Never Ending Sacrifice) while some are what I call ''airport fiction'', novels that take advantage of the fact we've all seen the series and movies (e.g. Before Dishonor) Full Circle is in my Top 5 Star Trek novels of all time. Buy it!
