Description
The U.S.S. Voyager finds itself in a system where a planet might have existed, but doesn't. Where the planet should have been, millions and then billions of people are appearing from nowhere and dying in the vacuum of space. To solve the mystery and save billions of lives, Captain Janeway will have to face alternate versions of herself and the crew of Voyager -- not just one almost-mirror-image, but many. Janeway will have to find a way to work with her alternate selves, with whom she shares show more much but each of whom has a different agenda. At stake is the survival of Voyager and the lives of billions of innocent people. show lessTags

This story takes some of the ideas in VOY 2x21 "Deadlock" and plays them out on an infinitely larger scale. In fact, it refers to "Deadlock" so often that I'm considering it "related"—it's more or less a sequel. I also found it significantly easier to read than most Trek novels—whether that's just because it's more recent or whether it's truly better, I don't know. The major downside is that, frankly, the story itself is pretty predictable once you've seen enough Trek, but I don't really mind.
I completely devoured this book. Very intriguing read. The only thing I wish is that they explained the solution more. But other than that it was a great read!
