Publisher's summary

A thrilling prequel adventure based on the acclaimed TV series Star Trek: Picard!

Two years after the USS Voyager’s return from the Delta Quadrant, Seven of Nine finds herself rejected for a position in Starfleet and instead finds a new home with the interstellar rogue law enforcement corps known as the Fenris Rangers. The Rangers seem like an ideal fit for Seven—but to embrace this new destiny, she must leave behind all she’s ever known, and risk losing the most important thing in her life: her friendship with Admiral Kathryn Janeway.

Great storytelling!!!

I had forgotten how much I loved Janeway nd Seven together. The story was exciting, heartfelt, nd moments of comedy. I absolutely loved it.

Fun and Games

Well written and well read. Nice pacing with enough breaks to come up for air. Fills in nicely the backstory on how seven ended up in the rangers.

Great Book. not so great narration.

January Lavoy puts wayyy too much emotion into Seven. It does not sound like Seven at all, which was off putting. I wish Robert Petcoff (I think that's how you spell it) had done the reading. Book itself was great. Janeway voice was good but Lavoy is just not good with narrating Seven.

Fun!

Fun to hear Seven and Janeway. January Jones nailed the voices and acted the heck out of the parts. I just thought the story was a little predictable and on the nose, but it was still a good time.

Fun bit of backstory

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I think the narrator did a great job. Her Janeway impression is spot on.
The book does a decent job at showing how Seven got to where she was in the Picard series. Even if David Mac seemed a bit horny at the beginning of the story. He also reused quotes that he’s used in other books.
I feel like some aspects of Seven’s character from Voyager were conveniently ignored for the sake of the story

Definitely the New Classic Star Trek

This will be a fantastic read for anybody who is a longtime Trekkie (like myself), and especially for fans of Seven of Nine. David Mack is a master storyteller! He writes Janeway the way we remember her back when she was Captain on Voyager. And 7 of 9 is a heap of sharp human complexity and female emotion. The author very elegantly graces the LGBT topic without going overboard but in a way that is tasteful and adds greater depth to the mystique of this half-human half-cyborg personality. And LaVoy!!! She was the perfect choice for its narration.

The success of the story makes the revelation that our heroine (7 of 9) eventually becoming Star Fleet, bittersweet. This was hinted at in the last season of Picard; which I didn't mind then; but that was long before this book came out. Now, I wished she had remained in the ranks of the Fenris Rangers. Had this been the case, I could easily see this being a new Star Trek spinoff.

Just imagine: Star Trek - Fenris Rangers

Made me laugh and cry

... I loved 7 of 9 since Voyager and this made me love her most. it's so well written and read it's impossible not to picture Jerry or Kate. Well done Mr. Mack...well done indeed.

Another excellent David Mack Star Trek novel

David Mack delivers another top tier Star Trek novel with the story of Seven of Nine post-Voyager (and pre-Picard) with a supporting cast of characters including Vice Admiral Janeway (in the Star Trek Prodigy timeframe) and many new Fenris Ranger characters including a mentor and new love interest for Seven. One thing I love most about this book is that it explores identity from an LGBTQ+ perspective in the form of Seven’s finding her way without her former Voyager crew member and without Starfleet or the Federation. The action and plot are engrossing and the characters are well developed. Also it’s an enjoyable listen with January Lavoy’s wonderful voice.
