Full Circle Partial Prologue on Amazon (Spoilers)

Can't wait. This is the first Voyager novel I'm buying.
576 pages! Does that make it the longest Trek paperback to date?
 
Oh wow. The sense of foreboding throughout that was immense and I got very annoyed at where it ended (mid sentence no less!).

Really glad I have this on pre-order.

No. Full Circle is apparently about 133,000 words long; the longest Trek paperback novel to date, David R. George III's Crucible: McCoy: Provenance of Shadows, is about 227,000 words.

Because different books have different layouts, page counts don't always give an accurate sense of length. Provenance of Shadows is nearly 100,000 words longer than Full Circle, but the page count difference is only 64 pages.
 
Amazon's notorious for making page count references that are, to quote the HHGTGG, apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate - for example it quotes my latest book as being 198 pages, when it's actually 360-odd pages...
 
I love Amazon's search inside feature. Still waiting for it to be available for Fearful Symmetry though. Its really handy when writing articles for Memory Beta.

I see another reference to The Left Hand of Destiny there. Awesome!:bolian:
 
So how did Mark - a civilian - find out before Chakotay? Voyager was on total communications black-out? Seven meeting him there in Venice would seem easier to explain.

It's possible that he's listed as next of kin even though he married someone else.

Good point, but maybe she didnt know about thier date. I would think her mother or sister might have met him there insted of Mark

Also don't forget that Seven played a key role in stopping the supercube, so perhaps she was a little tied up after the fact.
 
That was pretty good. I wonder if perhaps the rest of the stuff about Mark and Janeway, that was cut off would have explained why he found out sooner than Chakotay. Even if it doesn't it will be interesting to see the rest of that scene.
 
I've been looking forward to Full Circle, but for some reason that preview turned me off a tad. The thought of Chakotay pining over Janeway all those years makes him look like a putz, IMO. It seems like he'll still be defined in terms of his relationship to Janeway instead of evolving as a character in his own right. I'll still read the book (I've had it pre-ordered for some time), but I'm not looking forward to it as much as I once was. I sure hope my assumptions are wrong.
