FIRST LOOK: The Cover of Star Trek: Voyager: A Pocket Full of Lies
- Thread starter Enterpriserules

This really has my attention. I love the creativity of the cover.
Any one else noticing the subtle pattern of lines following the "mirrored" Voyager? Look familiar at all?
Perhaps this is another undoing of a reset button push from Voyager... but what the Year of Hell do I know?

Nice! 
Now that's beautiful! And makes me want a time machine...

My first instinct when I read the back cover description was "clone," but the cover art having the ship itself reflected made me think of "Deadlock" (probably because that was already done in a novel) and "Course: Oblivion." YoH is a good guess, too.
Very much been looking forward to this story since we first found out what it would be about. Seeing the cover gets me even more stoked.
Haven't posted in years, but have been faithfully lurking. I absolutely love this cover, and am so happy that Beyer's done such excellent work with VOY and its crew!
Especially since most of the other alien races mentioned (Rilnar, Zahl, etc.) were directly involved in the Year of Hell - they were wiped out by the Krenim.
I'm suspecting that the Krenim may be involved in this - seems just a bit too much of a coincidence that the other alien races in this novel were all involved with the Krenim and the YoH. (I wouldn't be surprised if other YoH races, like the Garenor, the Alsuran Empire, and the Mawasi turn up.) This has got to be tied together somehow.

Interesting to me (maybe not otherwise) that the original blurb posted for PFoL said Capt. Farkas made the first contact with the Nihydron, but I guess what matters is that the info on the cover from inside the book is correct.

As I recall, there was basically no question that she was referring to "Year of Hell". And the fact that those episodes will now actually count for something is amazing.
What I always loved about "Year of Hell" is that we heard about it when Kes was aboard, but it unfolded in the Seven of Nine years. So much story potential there!
