The Voyager Novels

I think this might help

It will help you see how everything connects.
 
I wonder how the VOY relaunch will work when it's in-universe year 2385 since
the Doctor has an appearance
in The Light Fantastic.

The mission was set to end in mid-2384, but I think the mission is extended and they are still in the DQ in 2385. I vaguely remember getting confirmation about this somewhere, but my memory fails me. I think it may have even been from Kirsten herself after the release of Jeffrey Lang's The Light Fantastic...

It's good I reached that particular plot in "The Light Fantastic" 30 minutes ago, or I'd be slightly annoyed by the spoiler :klingon:

What spoiler? It has nothing to do with the plot. Them appearing for a second is not a spoiler. Giving away the ending would be a spoiler.
 
Anything could explain why the Galen was still in the DQ - an extension of the mission, a second 3YM, or something else altogether. The end of the 3YM doesn't require a return to the AQ, especially when there's a lot of potential allies/bases in New Talax, Arehaz and the First World.

Anyone who hasn't read it yet doesn't know that though. With a book recently out, I'd rather err on the side of caution. I've edited the posts.
 
No need to apologize:)

I enjoyed it. It was tragic at times (the chapters about her former fiance before Mark and how he and her father died). I really enjoyed it and once in a while in the series (in seasons 1-3 at least) they call back to that novel a bit.

I really liked the whole story about the relationship between Janeway and her father too.

There's another novel that explores Janeway's relationship with her father: "Lifeline". Plus "Chance Factor" and "Quarantine"are all about Janeway's years at the Academy.

I will have to add those to my ever-expanding reading list. Are they Voyager novels?
 
I finally finished Mosaic. What an extraordinary yet tragical life Janeway has had. There were a few parts where I got choked up, which is rare for me when reading books. I have a greater understanding and respect for her. Also I was right about Hobbes' true identity!

I wish Taylor had been around for all of the seasons of Voy to make Janeway more consistent.
 
Yeah. I am still working on reading all of the regular ones.

I have one of the mirror universe ones downloaded (Dark Passions I think?) on my Nook though. Havent gotten to it yet.
I haven't read it, so I don't know the details, but Dark Passions is in a very different continuity from the series released under the banner Star Trek: Mirror Universe.
The books in that series are:
*Glass Empires (contains ENT: Age of The Empress, TOS: The Sorrows of Emprire, and TNG: The Worst of Both Worlds)
*Obsidian Alliances (contains VOY: The Mirror Scaled Serpent, NF: Cutting Ties, and DS9: Saturns Children)
*Shards and Shadows (a short story anthology with 12 short stories, some of which continue stories from the other two collections, and some of which introduce new series into the MU)
*(Expanded) The Sorrows of Empire
*Rise Like Lions
The DS9R novels Warpath, Fearful Symmetry, and The Soul Key also are consistent with those.

These books pretty much ignored all of the earlier novels and comics dealing with the MU and started their own arc that runs through most of the stories.

^One exception to the modern Mirror Universe series that began in 2007. The 2003 Stargazer novel Three also fits in because Michael Jan Friedman reused the characters from Three in Shards and Shadows - "The Traitor".

I really liked Three. I really need to finish the rest of the Stargazer books one of these days :)

I wasn't sure if that was consistent or not, I've never read Stargazer. Good to know.

You're welcome.

I originally didn't want to believe it myself, but Friedman's author note in Shards and Shadows indicates such.
