Editorial Review of Enemy of My Enemy (Star Trek Voyager: Spirit Walk, Book 2) (Bk. 2)
Captain Chakotay and his sister, Sekaya, are being held captive beneath the surface of Loran II by a Changeling -- an outcast Founder masquerading as Chakotay's second-in-command, Andrew Ellis. To Chakotay's horror, the Changeling gives the two prisoners over to the infamous Cardassian scientist Crell Moset, who plans to use Chakotay's Sky Spirit-enhanced DNA to create a super species that will bring him the fame and acceptance he craves.
Leaving Chakotay and Sekaya to their fate, the Changeling assumes Chakotay's image and infiltrates the Starship Voyager™, putting the entire crew at risk. Dr. Jarem Kaz and Lieutenant Harry Kim, increasingly suspicious of their captain's odd behavior, turn to Admiral Janeway and Lieutenant Commander Tom Paris for help. As Paris races to save Voyager from catastrophe, the real Chakotay must undertake a "Spirit Walk" that could set him and his sister free -- or lead to their ultimate destruction....

Review Summary: Good fun summer reading
Review: NOBODY LIKES WORDY REVIEWS; I will be concise.
This will never win an award for being a mastery of literature.
However, for those that are Trek/Voyager fans, this series is a fun continuation of the story.
Those fans* of Voyager fiction will enjoy this fun, fluff, read.
It serves its purpose quite nicely in fan fiction, though was not nearly as great as her Dark Matters series; nor as good as Voyager's second book.
Buy it, enjoy it, and give it to a fellow trek friend.

Review Summary: ENEMY OF MY ENEMY....BOOK TWO
Review: The book is good. I really would love to read more about the new crew in details that will come out in the near future. I believe that next book that comes out, would be more of a thriller ride. I also would love to see seven of nine come back to Voyager. They need her. Voyager needs a character that stands out and something different from all the characters.

Review Summary: Hello, what's going on here?
Review: Just to give you my own "back story" with these books, you can read my reviews on Homecoming, Farther Shore, and the first Spirit Walk book to get a general idea about (at least my opinion on) Christie Golden's work in this series.
Now, having said that.... I'm a big Voyager fan, out of the 3 more modern incarnations of Star Trek, Voyager had my favorite premise and characters. (TNG was more fun and DS9 was better written, but) there was something about the idea of being stuck out there in the unknown that was inviting to me, ... like in the original series. I actually became emotionally attached to this crew as I watched them become emotionally attached to each other, and considered themselves (by the end of the series, just like a family) that they WERE home as long as they were together. As Harry Kim said, "It's the journey."
Now let me be clear by saying that I did NOT expect that "family" feeling to carry on when they split up and went their separate ways. I DID expect it to be like the series in the sense that each character grew so tremendously in the process of being literally thrown out to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. The captain went from being a by the book type to being seasoned in the reality of life (although she still kept it close to protocol). The first officer went from Mr. Anguish to liking the idea of protocol more. B'lanna from very angry and uncontrolled to a loving wife and mother. Paris from being a ex-con to looking toward someone like Kim to understand what it is to love family and follow the rules. Everyone became better, or at least, more well-rounded people.
I mean, think about it, one way we all have our greatest "growth experiences" is facing the unknown. The other most significant time we have that growth is when we leave our "familiar" (notice how that word is so close to family)lives and go out into the world on our own without the constant family support. I think my greatest disappointment from the Voyager relaunch books so far is I'm not seeing these characters grow anymore, that is with the exception of B'lanna, who we barely hear about (I get the feeling, or at least I hope, we'll be hearing more about her in the next book.) They seem to be the same people in a different situation without the INTERESTING part. In fact it seems like I'm reading the text version of a "low brow holo-novel" based on the lives of the Voyager crew after they return to the Alpha Quadrant.
I'll keep reading the follow up books to find out what happens to B'lanna and Miral and to see if the Changeling and Moset are captured. I'll keep reading because I am a fan of the series.
I'll keep hoping that the writer will find it in her heart to do these characters, from a very character driven show, justice.

Review Summary: Voyager back in Action!
Review: Call me crazy but I LOVE Voyager. I love the characters, Seven of Nine, Janeway, B'Elanna, Tom Paris, the Holo Doctor, Chakotay, Harry Kim and the rest. And I love the ACTION that made Voyager more exciting than DS9 or TNG.
And boy do I MISS Voyager. So I am truly grateful to Christie Golden for continuing the series. This book takes Voyager and her crew back out into space where they belong. Some of it is slow going, especially Book 1 of the series. But the last half of Book 2 is exciting and action packed. If you love Voyager like I do, BUY THIS BOOK!
Thank you Christie Golden! Please write MORE Voyager books!

Review Summary: First grade writing and reading
Review: Let me start off by saying i love voyager, the series and while the homecoming books were okay, i still enjoyed them. These two books were so simply written it almost made me feel dumber while reading them. Yes, I found some pleasure in reading them because I`m hooked on Voyager and wanted to see what everyone was up to but the storyline was stupid. The whole part with Chakotay and his native american powers? The cat coming out into the real world? Where was Christie Golden going with this? It was just ridiculous.
So, I guess I can say that if you want to keep up on Voyager and you`re a fan, read the books. You`ll finish them both in about an hour. But don`t be looking for great writing and a profound storyline, like the Deep Space Nine books. And Christie, if you`re reading this review, step it up a little in your writing. More original ideas and write for adults, not third graders. We`re capable of a little more.
