An excellent Star Trek book!
Even though I grew up with Original Star Trek and still love it to this day, I have also come to respect and even love the many spin-offs. "Voyager" is definitely one of them and this book only cements my love for all things Star Trek as well as sci-fi and good space-opera: "Stranger in a Strange Land", "Puppet Masters", "2001", "2010", "Rendezvous with Rama", "Ringworld", all the "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" books, "Advent of the Corps" and others.

A Thrill
People say all the time "I couldn't put it down" and one must wonder is the person saying this an avid fan, an avid reader of books in general, or is this truly someone who generally doesn't like books but loved this one? I am the latter. I like reading Star Trek books, but I often take upwards of a month or two to read one fully, simply because I don't necessairily like the process of reading and I always fall asleep on a book no matter how good it is. Homecoming, was one of three exceptions to that rule for me. I truly could not put that book down and finished it in two sittings. (The other exceptions were Farther Shore [the continuation of this book] and Echoes).

As others have stated it picks up immediately after Voyager returns to the Alpha Quadrant. The story does start off a bit slow, but this slowness is necessary to build up their reactions to being back on Earth and seeing all their long lost loved ones, not to mention how they are going to fit back into society. And then there's the Doctor and Seven....

At anyrate it's a funny coincidence that you-know-what hits the fan just as Voyager returns to Earth and it all directly involves the Voyager crew. Christie Golden, however makes the occurrence very believable and even makes the reader question for a minute whether or not Voyager really is the cause of it all.

Although I was disappointed by the lack of information about what happened to the Borg Collective after the events of Endgame, I still rate this and Farther Shore 5 stars.

Continuing were the series left off.
A must have for any fan of Star Trek Voyager. I was so entertaining that I could not put it down.
