![]() ![]() ![]() Book one set up a revolution for hologram’s rights to personhood. To make matters worse, the most interesting thread is all but abandoned. Hardly an auspicious start to the Voyager relaunch. That, coupled with the involvement of Data, make the book feel more like a problem for Picard and his crew rather than Janeway and hers. What frustrates me about The Farther Shore is that the Borg threat is tied directly to First Contact. there’s plenty of material to be mined there if you do want to bring the Borg back into play. Now, Voyager had more than its share of run-ins with the cybernetic foe, across five seasons of television. As I noted in my review of Homecoming, Borg stories are in abundance, and if you’re not going to do something new with them, you’ll struggle to hold my interest. Sad to say, it is the least interesting that take precedence in this second volume of the relaunch. ![]() Homecoming set up a lot of plot threads, some of them more interesting than others. ![]() Not even the timely arrival of Commander Data may be enough to see them through this crisis. With corruption at the heart of Starfleet, only Janeway and her crew can save the planet. A virulent Borg plague spreads across the Earth. ![]()
