Star Trek Voyager Equinox a great novelization!

Equinox is an excellent novelization of the series season ending and season openers, Equinox Parts I & II. Diane Carey once again, shows why she is one of the primary authors that John Ordover and Pocket Books goes to for these novels. The premise: The starship USS Voyager is cruising along on its merry way back to the Alpha Quadrant when they receive, to their great surprise, a Federation distress call. This, in and of itself, plays out a huge portion of the emotional intrigue for the crew of Voyager. When Captain Janeway and crew arrive on the scene, they find the USS Equinox, a Nova class science vessel under attack. What the starship is being attacked by is not immediately clear though. They rush in and extend their shields around the smaller vessel and begin to make their introductions. As one would expect, there is a lot of excitement between the two small crews, considering that both thought they were the only Federation personnel in the quadrant. What Captain Janeway and the crew of Voyager are soon to find out though is the Captain Ransom and his crew have had a lot rougher go of trying to get home than they have. I don't wish to spoil this for those that haven't read it or by chance not scene the two part episode.Diane Carey's work on this novelization does deserve a lot of extra credit though. In many ways, this novel, in my opinion, is more intriguing and exciting than the two aired episodes. She perfectly captured the inner struggles that the primary characters, Captain Janeway, Captain Ransom and Commander Chakotay are going through. She truly captures Captain Janeways almost crazed, desire to stop Captain Ransom. This, by itself, almost costs her the relationship between her and her first officer. I've read a lot of the Star Trek novelizations and some, unlike this one, are mostly regurgitations of what was seen on the screen. There's no flair or added scenes to them. That is not the case with this wonderfully well written book. I would definitely recommend this one to any Star Trek fan or somebody just getting started with reading Star Trek.

A great book(some conflict)

A great book. It showed some conflict between Janeway And Chakotay(you don't see that everyday). you see some betrayal and lots of drama. A must read book for any Voyager fan.

Absolutely amazing!

I never saw the episode, but I've read the script to it. I was thrilled. But reading the book was so much fun. I believe this book is the second best after "Mosaic", and Diane Carey's best - IMHO. The Janeway/Chakotay scenes were breathtaking, and extermelly well writen. Loved it all the way!

Even better than the episodes!

WOW!! Next to Jeri Taylor, Diane Carey rocks when it comes to dealing with the complicated relationship between Janeway and Chakotay! Her additions to the scenes between them are wonderful, and the rest of the characters are treated equally well; the novel succeeds in giving a better look into the actions and reactions of everyone involved.A must-read for all VOY fans, especially for the J/Cers among us!
