This was a great collection of stories that answered a lot of questions about the show. Here is a break down of each one.

De Capo Al Fine 1- I didn't understand this one until I read the second half so be sure to read them together so it makes sense. Overall a good story 4*

Command Code- I liked seeing more of how Tuvok actually felt about everything that happened after 'caretaker'. I also enjoyed Tuvok and Chakotey introspective side. 3.5*

Winds of change- In this one Kes and B'ellana hung out and have a bit of a dialog. 4*

Talent night- This was a tad boring but fun to see how Tom and B'Ellana's relationship formed and seeing the crew just have fun. 3*

Letting go- I LOVED finally knowing what was going on back home and letting Mark and few others let their side of things be told. This was sad at times but overall wonderful. 5*

Closure- It was nice seeing Kes and Seven in a story together. This one was really well written and was overall great 4.5*

The secret heart of Zolaluz- This was my least favorite. It had a great 'moral to the story' but just wasn't believable to me. Seven did have some growing in this one which was nice though.

Isabo's Shirt- If you liked the idea of Janeway and Chakotay together this is a must read. 5*

A Brief Candle- I think this would be best after watching "Survival instinct" and "Barge of the dead". This is mostly about Harry and a character that was only in one episode, Marika Wilkarah, but it was so great showing her struggle and lots of character development from Harry, Tom, and B'Ellana. 5*

Eighteen Minutes- This is about one of my favorite episodes 'Blink of an eye' when the doctor is sent down and trapped for a few years. I always wondered what the doctor meant by he 'had' a son, and well he did! This story started off somewhat slow... ok really slow, but if you give it a few pages you will be laughing and crying and wanting to reread it all over again. This also gave me a lot to think about and it made the doctor hands down my favorite character in the show. 6* YES 6 stars! It was that good!

Or the Tiger- It hasn't been that long since I've read this but I already forgot it and had to skim it. It's about the Equinox and how the Equinox crew members were treated afterwards, I liked being caught up but I did wish there was a little more and that were a bit more appreciative. Overall it was good though. 4*

Bottomless- Here was another forgettable story and I do remember not really 'getting it'. It lacked the normal humor and the characters seemed off. I will read this again to see if my mind changes but for now it's 2*.

De Capo Al Fine 2- Like I said before this should be read right after the first story. *4

Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea, fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home.

Distant Shores opens with this quote from Homer in the Odyssey, and I consider this quote to be perfect for Voyager. I also think that this book with 12 different stories, with one being split into two parts, is an amazing idea. I really like the fact that we get to glimpse back into Voyager's journey and get these extra stories with our crew. As a whole I like the writing and the different stories. Thinking about it I've decided that this review will be better served going into each story individually. So that's what I'll do, and I'll try to do it briefly...

Da Capo al Fine, Part I - 3 1/2 stars
I have to admit that I found this first part to be somewhat confusing at the same time as it was beautiful and interesting to follow Admiral Janeway through her dreams/delusions/flashbacks or whatever they might turn out to be. I think it portrayed her as the fighter she is. As a fighter to the very end even being right there with the Borg Queen hoping Voyager will make it...

Command Code - 3 1/2 stars
This story had an interesting premise with Chakotay having to handle commanding Voyager by himself for the first time. It was a good story, although I admit I had some difficulty buying Tuvok's actions here. But the writing in general was good and I do think that the ending made up for everything else a little bit.

Winds of Change - 3 stars
I found this story to be kind of slow, even though it was beautiful in its own way with Kes and B'Elanna forming a friendship. I like the thought of the story and how it deals with the aftermath of Warlord. It's a story dealing with change, emotional distress and friendship. It didn't quite draw me in, though. From time it was even a bit boring.

Talent Night - 3 1/2 stars
This was a nice story about that night that we probably all wondered a little bit about. I really liked how Jeffrey Lang focused on relationships and of adding to the characters and their stories. I also loved Lang's addition to the String Theory trilogy, Cohesion, so I was happy to read something more from him.

Letting Go - 4 1/2 stars
I LOVE the premise of this story! It's different, it's filled with emotion and it's so very interesting. This is all about how Voyager's disappearance affected the people being left behind and how the prospect of letting go is always the hardest when you don't know what happened. This was amazing on so many levels. It was hard to put down and I would have loved to see something like this in an episode.

Closure - 4 stars
This story is about Neelix, and although he is one of the Voyager characters that I usually enjoy to read the least about I really like this story. It's a story that really got to me. It's about Neelix being stuck down on a planet after a cave in finding relics of an old Ocampan community far off from Ocampa. It has Kes in it. And Neelix gets such a depth to him in this story that I really like.

The Secret Heart of Zolaluz - 3 1/2 stars
This is a beautiful story of friendship between Seven of Nine and a woman called Zolaluz. It's about being an outsider having to fight your way through life. I felt that this story had a very important message do convey and also that it added to Seven's character.

Isabo's Shirt - 5 stars
I fell for Kirsten Beyer as a writer after reading Fusion, and I can't even begin to tell you how much I'm looking forward to reading her relaunch novels. So I had high hopes for this story, and I wasn't disappointed. This story was perfect in so many ways. It was utter fantastic. I would have given almost anything to see something like this during Voyager's run. Something like Janeway and Chakotay going on a date...

Brief Candle - 3 1/2 stars
At first I wasn't so sure if I liked this story about Marika, one of the liberated Borg drones, but it came to grow on me. I liked reading about her take on her situation knowing she'd die within just a few weeks and how she handled that. I believe we can all learn a lot from her.

18 minutes - 4 1/2 stars
I love this story and the whole idea of it. It's a story about the time the Doctor spent down on the planet in the episode Blink of an Eye and is told through his logs while being down there not really knowing for how long. A few minutes on Voyager is practically years down there. The people he got to meet and what he got to be a part of, it all made for an amazing and heartfelt story.

Or the Tiger - 3 stars
I kind of liked this story about B'Elanna having to solve a mystery that just might get Voyager home. I like the mystery of it and the ethics she was faced with. It was interesting to read about. Unfortunately the story felt a bit rushed in a way. In the end I felt that I would have wanted more out of the story.

Bottomless - 3 stars
This is a story about a woman from the Equinox crew wanting to fit in and going on a mission with Tom Paris to save the day. I really do like parts of the story. I like the world we get to know a few glimpses about and the honesty and brutality of the situation they find themselves in. Then there are things I don't like as well, for example a choice Janeway made towards the end. As a whole I did think it was a good story, though.

Da Capo al Fine, Part II - 4 1/2 stars
...and now I get it all! I love how this story turned out and think it was brilliant of Heather Jarman to use this particular part of Janeway's journey through the Delta Quadrant in this instance. I love the ending. I love the fighting spirit. What I don't get, though, was why it was divided into two parts.

3.5 ⭐ CW: violence

Distant Shores is a story story collection set during the Star Trek: Voyager series. I found this baby at a second hand sale, so I had to have it. I'm slowly growing my collection of Trek related books.

Like with all collections, some stories are better than others. Most were pretty forgettable, to be honest, but there were a few that were nice. We get a story about Janeway's fiance that she left behind, we get background characters and other crewman's stories. We even get one story that is just kinda cosy where Kes and B'Elanna hang out and build a windmill together. The Chakotay story was weird and uncomfortable. It was a mixed bag, but overall I enjoyed this little bit of extra Trek.

A fairly good collection of short stories; the quality of the stories ranges from high in the 2-star range to low in the 5-star range. There's a nice mix here, spanning a time frame from early in the first season through the second half of the seventh season, ignoring the prelude and epilogue, which are the least interesting of the stories and seem to be more or less at the same time as the series finale.

I wasn't sure about a collection of short stories, but there are some really great stories in here that fill in small gaps through the various seasons of Voyager. The one with the doctor connecting to Blink of an Eye was one of my favorites. I also liked the stories that took part in the alpha quadrant seeing things from the eyes of the relatives and friends of Voyager's crew.

A short story collection with stories based in most seasons of Voyager. There's a few really stand out stories here, Tuvok coping with trust issues, Neelix getting over Kes, and the Doctor on an away mission. A good read.

I was hesitant going into Distant Shores. Not because I though I wouldn't like it, but because it's the last of the Star Trek Voyager licensed media that I've yet to consume. I've watched the show (multiple times); I've read the comic books; I've officially now read all the books. My Voyager journey is complete, and that makes me a little bit sad.

So how was the anthology? I think the most appropriate way to describe it a mixed bag. The main problem with Distant Shores is the almost-insulting lack of Captain Janeway. She was only the lead character, why include her? All the stories are well-written, though the fidelity to the characters, as they were depicted on TV, varies from story to story. The worst offender, in my opinion, is Bottomless by Ilsa Back. What should have been a nice send off to Marla Gilmore, instead left me frustrated. You're going to depict Kathryn Janeway as willingly accepting her death, and attempting to hasten it? Really now? The captain unwilling to accept defeat (e.g., Yeah of Hell)? The woman who, through sheer force of will, got her crew home in seven years, when the journey should have taken decades? Yeah, no.

Eighteen Minutes by Terri Osborne is probably the story I enjoyed the most. It was a good addition to one of Voyager's best episodes, Blink of an Eye. Also, bonus point for acknowledging gay people's existence, something Trek struggled with during all of the classic shows's run (thanks, Rick Berman).

The biggest disappointment of the bunch was Isabo's Shirt by Kirsten Beyer. Not because it was bad, per se, but because this is Kirsten Beyer. I've read the relaunch series. I know how well she can write Voyager. This was just... dull. And somewhat contradictory to the show's cannot, as by the time her story takes place, the Janeway/Chakotay ship has sailed. Beyer had to do some heavy lifting to resurrect that particular relationship in Full Circle.

Full disclosure, I completely skipped Closure by Keith DeCandido. I've had interactions with him over at Trek BBS; he seems like a nice enough dude. But I have zero interest in what Mark Johnson, of all people, was doing while Voyager was making its way through the Delta Quadrant.

The send off to Admiral Janeway was nice.

Overall, none of the stories are particularly bad, or all that good. But, honestly, I've read much, much better over at ArchiveOfOurOwn.

Since I finished the season finale last week I wanted to delve into one of the many written adventures that follow Janeway & Co. The only Voyager book I have read so far is The Escape, which is considered the first in the novel series and is a standard time-twisting caper that would fit right in the first two years on air. This however was a nice surprise because it's bitesize stories that span the entire show's 7 seasons.

The major standouts for me were "Eighteen Minutes" by Terri Osborne, which is set during the acclaimed Season 6 episode "Blink of an Eye" but told from the perspective of the EMH Doctor. The reason I think this story works so well is because it's what the franchise does best which is to take what we already know and re-examine it. We get hints of this in that particular episode so it's nice to imagine how what we didn't see managed to play out.



"Brief Candle" by Christopher Bennett was another one that piqued my interest because it's a sequel to the episode "Survival Instinct", I really liked how we got to know more about the character of Marika Wilkarah (aka Three of Nine) and how it contrasts her emotional distress and her zest for life in the face of imminent death. The story centres around Harry Kim, who in my opinion got the worst string of episodes in the series, so this felt like a breath of fresh air - even though he is being his usual awkward self.



I liked this one because it's a nice tight story even though it was kind of predictable, but it reminded me how I much preferred the single Borg episodes (TNG aside) because they kind of started to lose me with the multi part specials.




One that particularly surprised me was "The Secret Heart of Zolalus" which I found to be quite endearing. It's a Seven of Nine story, so it's no surprise that I'm all over it. What drew me to this was that it takes the normal crashed shuttle trope - Voyager seemed to crash shuttles a lot (despite warnings that the amount they have are quite sparse) - and brings focus to the person in danger but the person trying to get out of danger. Captain Janeway has been captured by a warring pre-warp species while Seven comes to befriend the opposing civilisation. Pretty cut and dry but for me Seven makes this story better than if it was any other regular. Seven (much like her Nanoprobes) comes built with a complexity that managed to serve her character better in the long run and this is no exception. In a constant theme of exploring humanity we get to see her interact with people who are cast aside from their group and are considered sub-human, so I'm really proud to see that flipped in the other direction. The emotional chemistry between Seven and the titular Zolalus is quite heartfelt and ends on a somewhat positive note, and if anyone needs a bit of posititivy it's her.



Of course there's a few others but they were kind of hit or miss, though I didn't regret reading any of them because some had a few decent concepts. There's enough potential found in these stories that I wonder why many of them were not episodes to begin with. That's the way Voyager teased us because it planted seeds that didn't quite flourish: One reprises the 'will they, won't they?' relationship that started with Janeway and Chaoktay in Season 2. Another shows Neelix as being less obnoxious and with more humility. Still I commend the writers for doing a good job with this collection. I could definitely picture the cast reciting these lines and having fun with them. Like a housewarming party it was good to see the things that brought everything up to this moment and where it might continue to lead.

Until next time!

25 years ago today, Star Trek Voyager launched.
15 years ago, to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Star Trek Voyager, this book was published. A collection of short stories, it explores various said adventures the crew had during their 7 year voyage to get home. We learn about Kim's lost love. About Chakotey's misreading of a gift. Tuvok's attempt to merge two polar opposite crews, while protecting the safety of ship. About Neelix's final goodbye to Kes. About what Mark (Janeway's beau back home) did during the time the ship was missing. And The Doctor's 18 minutes on the planet that ages faster than others. And many many others.

This book has been sitting on my TBR pile since 2005 - I put off reading it, keeping it for a time when new Voyager Books were no longer being published. (Hint Hint....) But since this is the anniversary, i figured it is only fair to sit down and read it. (I did the same with the Deep Space Nine anthology when that show celebrated it's 25 th anniversary as well)

I loved this collection. It's bookended by short stories from the perspective of the future Janeway from "Endgame," as she tries to defeat the Borg. The other stories take place at different points during Voyager's journey. The talent show story was a fun reminder that the more slice of life moments were highlights of the series. I also enjoyed the way Kes and B'Elanna ended up bonding by building stuff as a way for Kes to handle her own aggression. We even get more closure between Kes and Neelix than the show allowed. And there's the emotional story about Janeway and Chakotay's feelings for each other. This collection just all around does a fantastic job honoring the legacy of Star Trek: Voyager. It's kind of weird to think it came out only four and a half years after the series ended. Definitely worth reading.

Fuck it I'm giving this 5 stars for Brief Candle alone because that story recked me. Fucking recked me because fucking shit I believe it. FUCKING SHIT I BELIEVE! Fucking fuck do I believe and I totally felt it. I'm a sap. And I have a weird thing for doomed love. Hopeless. But fuck me do I eat that shit up.

I will note that Eighteen Minutes was very fascinating and Isabo's Shirt was honestly just as bad as Resolutions. Those 2 idiots are soul mates and there isn't a person living or dead that'll convince me otherwise.

Overall, a nice collection. Some of the stories really didn't feel true to the characters and weren't all that engaging, but several were very good. My favorite was Isabo's Shirt, since it's a J/C story. It made Kirsten Beyer's later Voyager books make a lot more sense. I love her writing of the Janeway/Chakotay romance.

There are some good stories within this anthology but there are also some really slow tales that are uncompelling. Due to the latter, I didn't feel any urgency to return to the book and finish reading. Thus completing the read took a while.

I found this collection okay, but no more than that. The most interesting story to me was Or The Tiger by Geoffrey Thorne, which raises an interesting ethical dilemma, but doesn't really go into it in enough depth. Other than that, none of the stories really stood out.

This is a pretty good collection. What I really liked about this is that ALL of the stories take place during Voyager's 7 years in the Delta Quadrant. I remember reading a Next Gen collection once and so many of the stories were prequels (probably so they could invent characters), which I don't appreciate. The majority of the stories in this book are character-driven which I really like, you can't get much action or plot in 20 pages anyway, and the characters are why most of us want to read the book.
Just because no one else has done it yet, I'll quickly give a preview of each of the stories:

Command Code: Chakotay/Tuvok early relationship. Janeway is out of commission and Chakotay is left in charge of the ship during battle. Can Tuvok trust him? Loved this one, strong beginning (sans the intro story which I will get to). I always thought the Chakotay/Tuvok relationship should be explored better on the show.

Winds of Change: Kes/Torres friendship. Kes and Torres build a windmill. Not kidding. I appreciate trying to explore the dynamic between two characters that you don't see on screen, but the plot device was far fetched.

Talent Night: Paris/Torres early relationship. Not much of a plot, wasn't sure where the author was going for a long time. Lots of other characters involved here but I think the spotlight is on Paris/Torres with some Kes/Neelix elements.

Letting Go: This is about Janeway's fiancée Mark and how he deals with his grief. I didn't think I would like this since I normally frown on made up or minor characters taking such a spotlight but I so enjoyed cameo appearances by T'Pel (Tuvok's mate) and Naomi's Dad, plus it was a nice story exploring the relationship between Janeway and Mark that you never get to understand.

Closure: Neelix/Kes with some Seven. Super confused by this one. Still don't really get it. Neelix supposedly sees Kes and she helps him save Seven about a year after Kes leaves.

The Secret Heart of Zolaluz: probably my least favorite one of the bunch. Seven hangs out with a misfit on some random planet who teaches Seven a lesson in charity. Out of character for Seven and none of the Voyager crew has anything to do with anything else (except they are trying to save Janeway).

Isabo's Shirt: Janeway/Chakotay. A good reward after suffering through Zolaluz. Janeway gets Chakotay a birthday gift that she thinks is a symbol of friendship, but apparently the computer does not say what it means for Chakotay's tribe, and he misunderstands its meaning. Explains their lack of a romantic relationship. To be honest it's probably out of character for Janeway but I liked the plot so much I didn't care. You might though.

Brief Candle: The remaining weeks of one of the Borg trio Seven releases in season 6. Wouldn't make much sense unless you remember the episode. The focus was on this minor character but it nicely wraps up a plot from an episode and has a lot of Harry and some of the other characters too so it was good.

18 Minutes: What happens to the Doctor during the episode Blink of an Eye (season 6). Again, won't make much sense unless you remember the episode. one of my favorites from this collection, ties nicely into the episode, answers some questions, and character development for the Doc.

Or the Tiger: B'Elanna and Noah from the Equinox butt heads on an old stranded ship that might unlock a secret to get them home. Nothing special about this one.

Bottomless: redemption of Marla, one of the other Equinox survivors (two in a row? Really). She does get character moments with some others though, so overall I prefer this to the Noah story.

Da Capo al Fine: First, not sure why they had this bookend the book. I don't even remember reading the first part, except I was slightly tempted to read the last part when I finished. Once I got to the end of the book I couldn't remember what happened in the first part so I had to reread (sigh). Basically this is about Admiral Janeway (from the future) on the Borg ship as Voyager goes back to Alpha Quadrant.

Sorry for the long review, but thought some might like a summary of all the stories!

Voyager is probably my favourite Star Trek, so this collection of short stories was something I was looking forward to reading. For the most part, the stories here were enjoyable, and I liked that they covered a wide range of characters. I think my favourite was "Talent Night" by Jeffrey Lang, which was a fun comic outing and reminds me, once again, that performance is a terrible thing for those of us with irredeemable stage fright. Close runner-up was "Eighteen Minutes" by Terri Osborne, which is a diary story covering the time that the Doctor spent stranded on an inhabited planet in "Blink of an Eye." It's the story with the most emotional resonance here, and I appreciated that.

I was less interested in the framing story, which seemed frankly unnecessary, and I have to admit that I didn't much care for the two (two! why did we need two?!) stories about how the Equinox survivors had sad, sad difficulties fitting in with the rest of the crew, and how their atonement Taught Lessons to major characters. Call me unforgiving, but I don't give a shit about serial murderers and their atonement, and any time I come across narratives like these it really irritates me how the authors skim over the sheer unremitting awfulness of what these characters did in favour of giving them a more sympathetic presentation. I get that in a more enlightened time criminals can't just be spaced, and I don't support capital punishment anyway, but I'd rather see this topic explored, if it has to be, with considerably more gumption than these rather obvious attempts exhibit.

A decent collection of stories, most of these reached from decent to delightful. The notable exception is the two part story by Heather Jarman. The writing felt laboured and the story lacked impact. I didn't realize until afterward, but she was also the author of the String Theory book I despised for largely the same reasons. Bookending the anthology with her work was a mistake. The next weakest story was The Secret Hearty of Zolaluz. The rest were much better, and the anthology is provably worth buying for the same of the rest.

Enjoyable and fun for the most part. It's a collection of short stories and they're all written by different authors so not all of the stories are very good. There were times (especially with B'elanna and Neelix) where my eyes glazed over but stories like 18 Minutes and Letting Go really made up for the more boring stories. Looking at reviews, it seems most people adored 18 Minutes and for good reason, it deals with events in Voyager that I instantly wanted to know more about and I was very happy with what was delivered. That story alone makes this book a must read for Voyager fans.

Excellent collection of stories! These are all much more character-driven than episodes of the series were, so that's fun to read. If you're looking for something more like an episode, skip this one, but if you're looking for pieces more along the lines of character development, these are great. All sorts of characters are featured here - all of the regulars, and even some of those recurring characters that we forget about.

A really great collection of short stories. This is the first short story collection in the Star Trek universe that I have come across, and really loved this. Each one of these stories gives insight into the mind and heart of one of the primary characters in the Voyager crew

In many ways, I found this collection even more enjoyable than a full Voyager novel.
Am definitely gonna try to find more such Star Trek collections.

This is a great collection of VOY short stories. Now, I'll admit that there is a subtle line between fiction and "fan fiction," and a few stories fall into the latter category. But a lot of these stories add details to characters and episodes that were shown in the series. Definite recommend if you are any type of VOY fan.

I found this an okay collection of short stories set on Voyager.
Tbh I never really liked the tv series, and thinking about it now only watched very occasionally after season 3.
Only a couple of the stories really held my interest, the majority were just okay. Not terrible but nothing that really changed my mind about wanting to read more stories with these characters.
