About this eBook
The Earth is in the crosshairs of an unrelenting Borg plague in this white-knuckled Star Trek thriller featuring Admiral Janeway and her crew.
When an unstoppable Borg plague breaks out upon Earth, blame quickly falls on the newly returned crew of the U.S.S. Voyager. Did Kathryn Janeway and the others unknowingly carry this insidious infection back with them? Many in Starfleet think so, and Seven of Nine, in particular, falls under a cloud of suspicion.
Now, with a little help from the U.S.S. Enterprise, Admiral Janeway must reunite her crew in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to discover the true source of the contagion and save Earth itself from total assimilation into a voracious new Borg Collective. But time is running out.
Has Voyager come home only to witness humanity’s end?

(Review for both books) I found it to be a fitting ending to Voyager. The entire story arc was too jumpy for my tastes. Every other chapter flip flopped between characters even when it was no longer necessary. But the author definitely got the characters spot on! I could imagine the actors of Voyager replaying this book in my mind no problem :-)

Not a fan of part one, I reluctantly picked this one up and found it to be a much more engaging story. Easily my favorite aspect was that the author captured every character almost perfectly.... Great wrap up. Though a bit rushed.

I have no words for how awful this book is... only a few incredulous questions. Why the hell is there Borg wreckage just laying all over Earth for people to come into contact with? What kind of parent lets their child chew on a random chunk of metal they found at the beach? If you can kill a Borg Queen by shooting it, why the hell hasn't anyone done that before?
