From the Publisher
The U.S.S. Voyager^TM is in desperate trouble, her systems damaged, her warp engines failing. Without immediate repairs the starship and her crew will be trapped forever between the stars. Captain Kathryn Janeway must guide her ship to an ancient, deserted planet that could hold the key to their survival — a planet that is hiding more than one deadly secret.

Hope flares for Captain Kathryn Janeway and the crew of the U.S.S. VoyagerTM when their sensors detect a signal that could lead them back home. But as the Starship Voyager races to the source of the signal, the crew find themselves in the middle of a raging battle between two warring races, a battle that has lasted for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. To journey homewards Captain Janeway and her crew must make their way through the most violent space-born conflict ever known, with both sides determined to destroy them.

Under the guise of helping the crew find a way home, a group of aliens board the U.S.S. Voyager^TM, and then steal the main computer. To get it back, Captain Janeway is forced to negotiate with the thieves — who are from a consortium of planets where thievery is a way of life. But as Janeway and the crew fight to retrieve their computer in time to save the barely functioning ship, they become embroiled in a political battle that could not only destroy the U.S.S. Voyager, but the crew as well.

Tracking a shuttle’s distress signal to the nearly deserted Arbuk System, the U.S.S. Voyager^TM crew encounters an unusual weapon a thousand times more powerful than the Starship. Inside the shuttle, the crew discovers an unconscious alien and no more information about the device. Captain Janeway and her crew are attacked by a group of mysterious warships with an interest in the weapon’s power. With warp power off line, the crew of the Starship Voyager must find a way to save themselves from a group of aliens desperate to control the superweapon.

When sensors indicate a possible wormhole nearby, Captain Janeway is eager to investigate, hoping to find a shortcut back to Federation space. Instead, she discovers a star system being systematically pillaged by the warlike Akerians. Janeway has no desire to get caught up in someone else’s war, but in order to the check on the possibilities offered by the wormhole — and to save the innocent people of Veruna Four — Voyager^TM has no choice but to challenge the Akerians.

Badly damaged in a close encounter with a dwarf star, the Voyager^TM discovers a planet being torn apart by tremendous volcanic stresses. The planet’s primitive inhabitants will surely perish unless the Voyager intervenes — but the Prime Directive forbids them to act. And then the dilemma is increased by the arrival of another starship, a Televek vessel, whose crew offer to help both the Voyager and the people of the crumbling planet. But Janeway senses something amiss with their saviors, and she’s haunted by ghostly visions warning her of a threat that make her loathe to accept anything from the Televek, even though they may be her only hope.

A mysterious signal lures the Voyager^TM to an uncharted sector of the Delta Quadrant, where the crews find a ghost ship floating in space. Hoping the mysterious ship might hold a clue that could help her vessel return home, Janeway launches an investigation, and soon a strange presence casts a kind of spell over the crew. If Janeway can’t pierce the ship’s mystery, the Voyager may wind up drifting in space, another ships of ghostly inhabitants.

For ages they have sought to claim our worlds. Now, at last, we take the battle to them. . . .

Far from the Federation’s desperate war against the invading Furies, the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager^TM encounters something they never expected to hear again: a Starfleet distress call. The signal leads them to a vast assemblage of non-humanoid races engaged in a monumental project of incredible magnitude. Here is the source of the terrible invasion threatening the entire Alpha Quadrant — and, for the Starship Voyager^TM, a possible route home.

But soon there may not be any home to return to . . .

In desperate need of crucial repairs, the Starship Voyager^TM has come to Sardalia, a planet blessed with great natural beauty and apparently friendly inhabitants. The Sardalians welcome Voyager enthusiastically, but Captain Janeway soon grows suspicious. The Sardalians seem almost too eager to help. Janeway fears they are hiding some secret agenda. When Tom Paris and Harry Kim disappear while visiting the planet, the captain and her crew find themselves caught in the middle of a planetary war — and faced with an agonizing moral dilemma.END
