Brilliant November 1, 1999

Brilliant. Sheer Brilliance. This is a great edition to the Voyager collection, one which focuses more on the fighting aspect of the series. It was well written, the characters were portrayed well, and both races were protrayed brilliantly. It did start off rather abruptly though, snapping into action in the first line. This technique can give the book a definite attraction if done correctly, but this time it wasn't done that well. Also, the characters weren't all used. B'Elanna had very little to do with the overall plot, neither did Seven or the doctor. I guess not every book can have every character interacting, but it would have been nice to have more involvement. The twist between Lekket and Bolis was great, who was the real enemy? Like a previous review, I think the Chakotay substory part was dragged out somewhat, and didn't have that much relevance to the whole story. But the twist at the very end involving the shields, sheer brilliance that part was. I mean this, it was absolutely brilliant. Scientifically it made a lot of sense, and treknically it made a lot of sense too. Oh, and the use of the Z+ and Z- terms when describing navigation was good, a real credit to the authors. This book is well worth the money for any Star Trek fan, I adivse you to buy it!

One of the better 'Voyager' novels! September 24, 1999
4 out of 6 found this review helpful

I have been a fan of both the 'Star Trek Voyager' TV Show and novels for quite some time now, and 'Battle Lines' has to be one of the best 'Voyager' novels I have ever read.

The book has been very well written, You Identify with the characters straight away, and it displays no Plot Inconsistencies with the show.

You can feel Janeway's frustration at herself and her ship being forced into service in someone elses conflict, and then having to stand by while ill-timed and ill-conceived decisions are made.

Definately a book worth reading. Do yourself a favor and add it to your cart.

4 out of 5 stars Non-stop action indeed! March 12, 2002

The reviews below that describe this book as "action packed" are accurate without question. It's a wild ride, and can wear a dedicated reader out quickly.

But I LOVED it!

Few stories are intense all the way through, from beginning to end. But this one definitely was. I continually found myself thinking, "How are they going to get out of this one?!"

I usually prefer a story that is more focused on the character interaction and has a lot of heart, but once in a while I enjoy a good suspenseful story that increases my heart rate and gets the blood pumping. If you like whirlwind action, this is the perfect book for you.

This amazing book starts with a bang of action and doesn't stop until the last page! The different plot lines are so well woven and the writing is clean and polished. The dynamic of the relationship between Paris and Chakotay is played out extensively. B'Elana and Seven do not get much print (hardly any, actually), but the dynamic nature of the rest of the crew makes up for this. Janeway's character is showcased and well drawn. Overall, I highly recommend this book. I've read it so many times, the spine has many creases. A great novel for the Voyager fan and novice alike!

4 out of 5 stars Buy. This. Book. February 27, 2000

As a disgruntled Trekkie, who these days participates little in the fandom, it's books like Dave Galanter's that make me consider returning to sci fi. I haven't even taken a single look at the Voyager TV show, but Battle Lines still makes the characters seem like old friends. In short, if you're looking for non-stop action, great dialogue, and... well, non-stop action, this is the book to buy!
