Summary: STV #12 Chrysalis - Rather unimpressive!
Comment: "Chrysalis" is author, David Niall Wilson's one and only venture into the Star Trek universe. The premise of this story is a fairly good one albeit another diatribe of "we're lost in the Delta Quadrant and we need supplies," which was well over done in the episodes and done way too many times in the Star Trek fiction line. I found the author's writing to be extremely descriptive however, the pacing and the overall execution of the premise leaves the story somewhat flat and unentertaining.
The cover art for this novel is fairly bland which is something that the Voyager series of books was normally not afflicted with but in this case it is.
The Premise:
In this particular "search" for supplies; the crew of Voyager detects a planet in which they may be able to replenish their supplies however, not long after arriving they find lavish gardens and the drama kicks in when a particular flower in the garden starts causing crew members to fall into comas. Captain Janeway, unwilling to have this afflict the crew on board Voyager must find a way to help her away team while at the same time dealing with the enigmatic inhabitants of the planet...
What follows from there is, as stated above, a story that in its premise is a fairly good one but in the execution of that premise it falls flat despite the exceptional narrative in setting up the "atmosphere" of the novel.
I would recommend this particular Star Trek Voyager novel to fans of the series or Star Trek in general that like to read all that's in print but I would certainly not recommend it to a first time Star Trek reader as it would ultimately leave such a reader questioning the overall quality of Star Trek fiction as a whole. {ssintrepid}

Summary: Just couldn't finish it.
Comment: It's extrememly rare that I don't finish a book, especially a Voyager novel. But I just couldn't do it.
While this book had beautiful imagery and solid story developments, it had no heart. There was little to no characterization. The whole thing seemed hollow to me.
Rating: 4
Summary: This book is perfect for any Star Trek fan!!!
Comment: This book is about the Star ship Voyager badly in need of supplies. Their sensors trace an abundance of plant life on an uninhabited planet. Captain Janeway leads an away team to the planet to replenish their supplies when they meet the non-detected inhabitors of the planet, the Urrythans. Urrytha has a mysterious, but beautiful flower. The flowers have very fragrant blossoms, but what the Voyager team doesn't know is that these plants are more dangerous than they appear. These flowers are causing the Voyager team to fall into comas, one by one. Captain Janeway runs into problems after Ensign Kayla fell into to this so called LONG SLEEP. The Urrythans are amazed that the Ambiana (the flower) had such quick effect on Ensign Kayla. The Urrythans stated that it is impossible for Kayla to escape this LONG SLEEP. But as usual, Captain Janeway had her mind set, she will find a cure. She will get her away team of the planet safely. Will Captain Janeway find the cure? Will the encounter with the Urrythans be peaceful? If you want to know more you REALLY have to read this book. I recommend it to any TREKKIE!!
