The Full Circle Fleet has resumed its explorations of the Delta Quadrant and former Borg space. Captain Regina Farkas of the USS Vesta makes a promising first contact with the Nihydron—humanoid aliens that are collectors of history. They rarely interact with the species they study but have amassed a large database of numerous races, inhabited planets, and the current geopolitical landscape of a large swath of the quadrant. When an exchange of data is proposed via a formal meeting, the Nihydron representatives are visibly shaken to be greeted by Admiral Kathryn Janeway. For almost a hundred years, two local species, the Rilnar and the Zahl, have fought for control of the nearby planet Sormana, with both sides claiming it as their ancestral homeworld. The shocking part is that for the last several years, the Rilnar have been steadily gaining ground, thanks to the tactics of their current commanding officer: a …

Review of 'Pocket Full of Lies' on 'GoodReads'

5 stars

[a:Kirsten Beyer|107772|Kirsten Beyer|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1442455673p2/107772.jpg] once again surpassed her previous Voyager novel. She also did great in handling temporal mechanics. It was not just another time-travel story, she picked a Voyager episode (or episodes for that matter) to based this novel and expand those.

By doing this, she was able to keep Voyager Relaunch deeply connected to the TV series, yet provide a fresh story at the same time. However, if you are expecting this novel to be set in the "current" time period as the rest of the Relaunch novels, it is not. Which again is perfect for Voyager. They are, after all, "way out there", there's no need to fast forward this series to the current year of the Alpha-Beta relaunch novels.

Keep it that way.
