STAR TREK - VOYAGER - FULL CIRCLE

In Full Circle, the U.S.S. Voyager goes on a mission to search for B'Elanna Torres and her daughter, Miral kidnapped by radical Klingon warriors. Then later, Voyager is sent on a deep space diplomatic and scientific exploration mission to lead a fleet back to the largely unexplored Delta Quadrant.

This book is basically two books with Captain Chakotay, and especially with his first officer Commander Tom Paris looking for his missing wife B'Elanna and kidnapped daughter Miral - who is believed to be the chosen one for the Klingon people. Then later, after Admiral Janeway is killed, are the political dealings with Starfleet trying to send Voyager back to the Delta Quadrant where Voyager was stranded far from home for seven years.

The second half of the book takes place after the events that have occurred in previous Star Trek books, one of which Janeway was killed from a Borg threat. My initial reaction is that Voyager and her crew suffered enough and should not go back, but there is the logical reason for Voyager to return - in that Voyager's crew has the most experience with the Delta Quadrant and would know how to deal with the many dangerous and violent species they might encounter. And with new engines, there is no chance Voyager and the fleet will be lost in the Delta Quadrant. Chakotay, after greatly suffering from the loss of his love Admiral Katherine Janeway, must undergo psychiatric evaluation to prove he is capable of commanding Voyager. The results of which causes him to make a major career decision.
