Yeah but that’s in 2382. This is 5 years later
Spoilers NO SPOILERS FOR CODA - A Lit-verse Grand Finale...What We Know (Spoilers for Entire Lit-verse)

If they were going to bring back Voyager anyways, they wouldn't have done what was mentioned earlier in the thread.
Yes, would seem Voyager could be back from its new "side trip" well before 2387- In To Lose the Earth was thought they'd be outside of our galaxy for maybe two years (which was why I disliked TLtE's ending, eh). So if Janeway & Co. are not in at least the last Coda book I unfortunately will have to mostly ignore them (besides some day checking out what happened to Tom & B'Elanna). I mean really, since Ms.Beyer has pretty much said she's done with VOY novels, then the good ship Voyager and her crew IMO should be included in this finale of the 24th century Litverse too (but I fear though won't be, which would be a real shame, but maybe nothing new ack considering how Voyager's been recently ignored in the overall scheme of things).

You should totally read everything after Homecoming. Voyager as a contained series didn't really get solid until Beyer and what she did with Full Circle. It feels like a true continuation/revival of Voyager the show (in terms of tone and themes, with unconventional callbacks/references/sequels to episodes) for the modern viewer, in book form obviously.
I totally forgot about the time differential between the Voyager books and the rest of Treklit! Specifically saying that they could be gone for 2-something years does make it seem like Voyager is gonna come in guns blazing in book 3 though! Tom and Torres departing at the end of TLtE could just mean that they the only Voyager characters that are major players in Coda throughout the trilogy (or as previous trilogies have gone, are major players in at least one book), and not necessarily that they are the only players.
At the time, I thought it was the general consensus that Voyager planning to be off the grid exactly long enough to return in the present-day of the rest of the novelverse was pretty obviously a set-up so they could participate in the finalé crossover.

Remember that in a collaborative medium such as television, the writer who is credited on the episode might not actually have written every part of it. You might be blaming the wrong person for that particular story decision..... Just sayin'.I will one day. I became rather hesitant in reading anything from Beyer after what she did to poor Icheb in Picard.

To elaborate on what Dave said, generally the whole writing staff breaks (outlines) the story under the guidance of the showrunner, and then a writer is assigned to do the script, which may then be rewritten by others, with the showrunner usually doing the final draft. So any major story decision is made collectively, and the buck stops with the showrunner.
Working as part of a team of writers -- or of anything -- is bound to be different from working alone. Working solo, you're responsible for everything, but as part of a team, you may sometimes participate in carrying out choices that you wouldn't have made on your own. So you can't really equate the two.

I’m only joking. Truth is that I just haven’t got to Voyager yet.
Oh I hope so, but doesn't seem from the 3 books' descriptions (well the current info is a bit sketchy of course) that Voyager is included in the story. And I would be ok with Voyager & Co. even just showing up and helping the other "heroes" at the end of the trilogy, that those iconic characters aren't all left out (besides having Tom and B'Elanna around) of this finale of the 24th century Trek litverse, that they still have been considered part of the whole novels "world" even while again back in the DQ.

We haven't seen the cover of the third book yet, have we?
Book 1 was Enterprise-E, which is not as famous as Ent-D but we can't have Ent-D because of the timing. Same with nu-DS9 - it's not the screen-famous DS9 but it's still identifiable as something DS9-like for the uninitiated.
The third book could follow the pattern - it could be Titan (which is marginally better known now than it was due to appearing on screen in Lower Decks, so could still be considered a draw) or it could be Voyager (which itself has been redesigned if I recall). All of them would be not the famous version of what they are, but still recognisable.

Voyager has never been shown refitted on any of the English novel covers.
I do think Voyager will return in the trilogy at some point, but I’m not expecting it on a cover. My bet is that the final cover will feature Titan (and maybe Robinson).

AFAIK, the creator of the Vesta class was working on the Voyager refit model, and actually showed some progress at some point. But I don't think it was ever finished.
Mark Rademaker. He also designed the other ships in the fleet, including the Merian-class USS Planck, which appeared in the Ships of the Line calendar.
On his blog, Mark designed the Vulcan-Andorian hybrid Theophrastus class* (USS Demeter), and different configurations for the other Merian-class ships in Voyager's fleet.
* Link: https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/Theophrastus_class
Cross Cult, the publisher of Trek novels in Germany, had their own artist Martin Frei draw a refit Voyager after Rademaker had suggested but then stopped working on a Voyager refit. The German VOY covers also include silhouettes of the other fleet ships, based on Rademaker's designs, e.g. the USS Demeter.
Side note, the Merian-class reappeared in the now defunct Star Trek: Trexels game. Don't know if Rademaker was involved. There's also a visual cameo of one of Rademaker's Merian-class variants in the ST: Hive comic.
The Eternal Tide confirmed Voyager has been refitted and is now capable of saucer separation. It did not indicate whether Voyager outwardly looks different.
Fun fact 1: One the Merian-class ships in the Full Circle fleet is the USS Curie NCC-81890. One of the ships assigned to Federation Headquarters in 3189 is the USS Curie NCC-81890-J.
Fun fact 2: In Star Trek Online, one of the 25th century Vesta-class variants is the Rademaker class.

Since Mark never finished or revealed his version, the Cross Cult Voyager is the one in my mind when I read the books.
I have a vague recollection that somewhere in the novels it was mentioned that Voyager did look somewhat different, but honestly, I could be completely wrong.
Cool little fun facts. I knew about the second one, but the first one is new to me!
