Summary

From the book jacket
After seven long years in the Delta Quadrant, the crew of the Starship Voyager now confront the strangest world of them all: home. For Admiral Kathryn Janeway and her stalwart officers, Voyager's miraculous return brings new honors and responsibilities, reunions with long-lost loved ones, and for some, such as the Doctor and Seven of Nine, the challenge of forging new lives in a Federation that seems to hold little place for them.
But even as Janeway and the others go their separate ways, pursuing new adventures and opportunities, a mysterious cybernetic plague strikes Earth, transforming innocent men, women, and children into an entirely new generation of Borg. Now the entire planet faces assimilation, and Voyager may be to blame!

Background Information

  • The book follows up pretty much right after the last episode of Star Trek: Voyager, "Endgame". The concerns over certain crew members comes to light nearly immediately such as The Doctor, the former Borg Seven of Nine and Icheb, Icheb's entrance into Starfleet Academy, and the former Maquis crewmen. It also brings about the question of the technology Voyager brought back to the Alpha Quadrant such as alternate timeline's Admiral Janeway's ablative armor generator and transphasic torpedoes as well other new technology (presumably items such as the Astrometrics lab, mobile emitter, etc.).
  • USS Voyager returns with open arms of Starfleet, family, and friends, shortly following the end of the Dominion War which has greatly weakened the Federation. The return of the lost starship is but a small concern to Starfleet as rebuilding after the war has taken main stage, at least for the moment.
