Summary: A mostly solid conclusion to the continuing story of Voyager
Comment: This was pretty decent. The main storyline is one of a Borg virus that seems to be spreading at will throughout Earth, and Voyager and her crew, having recently returned from one heck of a battle with the Borg, are dead centre in the suspicion category.
In the first book of this duet, I was a little worried about the Doctor's sub-plot: a holo-revolution, and found Torres' story about trying to find out if her mother is really dead or not to be quite interesting.
This time, the effects of the sub-plots on me reversed.
The conclusion of the Torres storyline had an ending that really really frustrated me, but the holo-strike/revolution, which I thought was going to be such a dud, actually had a decent recovery (and some interesting side-characters, including one hunk of a security officer who was described in perfect detail to make me wish I could beam on over). Ahem. Where was I?
The main story, the borg-virus plotline, I found quite well done. The characterizations were really "on" in this one - no one felt out of character, or forced. And the very ending of the story leads me to believe that we are going to see more of the "post-show" Voyager in the same way we saw it in the DS9 relaunch. I hope so, anyway, as I'd like to see Chakotay in his new position, and really enjoyed the inclusion of the trill doctor. All in all, a decent effort.

Summary: Enjoyed these two books by C. Golden
Comment: I am an avid Star Trek Voyager fan. I was greatly disappointed when the show concluded. Both Homecomming and The Farther Shore helped me find a bit of closure to this series that End Game did not provide. I'm especially gratified that Ms. Golden rectified the romantic relationship between Chakotay and Seven. It was a silly contrivance by the show producers. I'm glad that this problem was rectified here. I disagree with some of the other reviewers of these two books. I think Ms. Golden did an excellent job! I would vote for a Voyager movie based upon the story these two books tell. It would be a great movie and maybe provide a better ending to the show than the producers came up with! Thanks Christie! I hope you have further ideas for continuing the Voyager series and characters. They don't have to be lost in the Delta Quadrant to continue the story! Thanks!

Summary: A disappointing sequel
Comment: I suppose that if you've read Homecoming you have no choice but to read the Farther Shore. Unfortunately, I quickly felt that I was reading this sequel out of necessity rather than for pleasure. The problem lies with Golden's emphasis on secondary characters. I'm sorry, but I didn't buy a Voyager book to read about Harry's girlfriend and all of her cohorts that Voyager's crew hasn't seen for the past 7 years, if ever, to the neglect of the crew. The plot eventually comes back around to our heroes, but by that point I was just about ready to put the book down and forget about it in favor of the Voyager DVD set. And that's a shame, considering how much I enjoyed Christie's Homecoming. Here's hoping the author's next venture follows the Homecoming model rather than that of the Farther Shore.
