Lifting the Hem of the UniverseSpirits unbroken by the failed promise of the U.S.S. Dauntless, Captain Kathryn Janeway's indefatigable crew continues their odyssey of discovery through an enigmatic region of the Delta Quadrant, encountering a system inhabited by a species that, according to known physical laws, shouldn't exist.
These unusual beings, the Monorhans, hover near the edge of extinction; technology from the Starship Voyager(TM) promises life. Janeway, compelled by the aliens' plight, dispatches Seven of Nine and Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres to the Monorhan homeworld. But an unexpected shock wave crashes the shuttle carrying Torres and Seven, catapulting Voyager into a place beyond the fabric of space-time.
As B'Elanna and Seven wage an interpersonal war, Voyager struggles to prevail on an extradimensional battleground against an indefinable enemy. But fate has determined that one is inexorably linked to the other: the insurmountable chasm separating Voyager from her lost crew members must be bridged...or all will perish.

The String Theory trilogy begins here!
This is the first book in a trilogy titled “String Theory”, celebrating the 10th Anniversary of “Star Trek: Voyager” (in 2005), each book written by a different author. The whole story is set after events of the TV Fourth Season Finale (“Hope and Fear”) but before the events of the TV Fifth Season Premiere (“Night”) of the original run of the “Star Trek” Spin-off TV series.
WELCOME TO MONORHAN SPACE
After the huge disappoinment involving the supposedly USS Dauntless and the insidious revenge of Arturis, the general morale onboard the USS Voyager is quite down and Captain Kathryn Janeway is more than reluctant to divert their course to Earth for any curious sensor signal or space phenomenon…
…it’s time to focus in their challenge to reach home as soon as possible…
…but Janeway is more than anything…
…a Starfleet Officer…
…and her duty is to offer help to others and her innate scientific curiousity take the best of her…
…when a humongous space ark with an odd propulsion system almost collide in front of Voyager after taking a small detour to analyze something that shouldn’t be scientifically possible…
…a planet sustaining life orbiting a white dwarf…
…Captain Janeway soon offers help to the peculiar crew of the strange vessel, but…
…the road to hell is paved of good intentions, and Janeway ignores that her offering of assistance will lead to a catastrophe…
…also, the communication between Starfleet personnel and the new species won’t be easy, since those uses a “secondary speech system” that universal translator is unnable to process…
…moreover, the space system works with physics’ rules totally different than anything that Starfleet has ever encountered before, making impossible the warp travel there, along with the threat that a single moment without energy shields can provoke havok onboard Voyager.
Never the Voyager’s crew has ever been more pressed up, literally without chance of sleeping, each senior staff member will have to work without rest, having to think totally out of the box, and even having to implement extreme measures, for not saying that some of them, with totally opposite personalities, they will have to learn how to work as a team in levels that they never thought possible…
…with the fate of an entire civilization in their hands!

I love these characters and read many of the ST: Voyager books in addition to viewing the TV series.
The thing with the novels is they are written by many different authors. Most authors I've read do a good job of rendering the essence of these space travelers.
Sad to say, not Jeffrey Lang.
The story was good, interesting but over and over again I heard myself think, "Tom Paris wouldn't talk like that." Or any of the other nine main characters.
Even so I plan to finish this trilogy because well, cliffhanger!

An enjoyable start to the String Theory trilogy. At the heart of the story is the antagonistic relationship between Seven of Nine and B'Elanna Torres, which gets some fascinating evolution thanks to the events of this novel. Cohesion definitely grabbed my interest and has me curious to see how the story continues in the next book.

The book is placed between the fourth and fifth series of Voyager. Of course I have seen Voyager (you need to, to know what this book is about), but I don't remember what happenend in which series, so I was a bit worried that I won't be able to catch up with the story. There is not much explaining, but there is also not much interaction with whats happening in the tv show, main relationships were shortly mentioned at the beginning and that was - at least for me - enough to know where to range the book chronologically. The story focusses a lot on B'Elana and Seven, so for me this was fine as I like these characters and found their interaction quite interesting.
Of course, as this is part of a series of 3 books, there was a cliffhangar. You should be prepared to read the next books too as many questions are left open.

It was great reuniting with the Voyager (my second favorite crew after TNG) crew after being away for so long. I thought the book was great and loved the character dynamics. I am looking forward to starting book two in this trilogy.

While I appreciated the return to ST:V, the writing was not the best. The repetition of using people passing out as a transition was tiring, e. g. The endless reference to the translation devices was off-putting as well; yes, there's a universal translator. Thanks. Also, the plot was odd in how much it jumped around... one minute the Sem character was planning something and the next Janeway was reacting to a plan that had been carried out; what happened in between?

A lovely, fast-paced read that reminded me how much I miss hanging out with the characters of the USS Voyager. I particularly enjoyed spending some time with B'Elanna -- though every character was written spot-on. Managed to tell a pretty complete story while still leaving a clear continuation for the next book in the trilogy. Recommended.

Strange little story, but not bad. It's always jarring when characters speak or act in a way that they wouldn't in the show. (I'm not talking about the link, as that made sense. Sort of.) That's the danger with reading novels based on TV series, though. I'll probably finish the trilogy.

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
Positives:
Fun, quick, entertaining read. Read just like an episode of the show. Solid plot. Nothing innovative or particularly well written (all those scenes ending with someone passing out lol), but I didn't expect that from a Star Trek book. Very much is exactly what you would think. Kept you turning the pages, a delightful Trek story.
4/5 for that.
Negatives:
I would have wanted Lang to address the collective of two from Seven's perspective more. That was a place he could have gone deep into the complex feelings of trauma/necessity/relief Seven would have in being part of a collective again, and going out of it. I would have liked for B'Elanna and Seven to have a deeper conversation here and become closer friends. (Although, this book is part of a series, so maybe he will bring this up more in the other books). The entire collective storyline was full of missed opportunities.
Another thing that bothered me was the storyline with Sem. Stop making evil female characters that trick/lure men with their feminine wiles. It's overdone and kinda sexist.
The characters were also very one-dimensional. In the show, we get to see all sides of the characters. In the book, we only see their caricatures. Again, this may change with the next 2 books as Lang delves deeper into the plot and their personalities. I certainly hope so.
2/5 for these things. So, I'll settle in the middle at 3/5.

It's an interesting concept as Voyager goes through an area of space that doesn't conform to the usual rules of physics and I liked the fact that leaving the space has an impact on the resident aliens. The story flows well and ends on a cliffhanger because it's part of a trilogy.
The reason it only gets three stars is because the way the characters behave. Torres is always angry, Seven is always aloof and condescending, Neelix is always kind and helpful etc. It feels like the author only had an outline paragraph of each character to work with rather than seven seasons of TV episodes and numerous other books.
I'm interested to read the other 2 books to find out what happens, but if the way the characters are written doesn't improve, I can't see myself making it to the end.
One final complaint, it follows the current trend of having a spoiler of something that happens later in the book. This really bugs me in books and films and on TV and I wish it would stop. Find another hook to get people interested.

All my star trek novels tie in reviews should come with the caveat that I am not particularly concerned with innovative, original, fast paced plots. I get the most out of my trek novels when they’re character driven, and written with care to the complexities of the characters they’re portraying. I enjoy delving into the minutae and world building, having an especially engaging plot comes second to characterization (though both are always appreciated!)
This was my first Voy novel and I have to say it hit all the marks for me. Though I wasn’t always satisfied with how B’elanna was written, all the voices of the characters were captured exceptionally. And I really loved getting a deep dive into exploring the B’elanna/Seven dynamic, a complex exploration of the two of them was something I always felt was missing from the show. Outcasts together!!!! I was completely engrossed in this one—easily finsihed it in about two days. Had the added bonus of an engaging region of space and species of aliens, very excited to keep reading this trilogy.

I came to these after reading the first 2 reboot books by Christie Golden, who does a fantastic job with the character voices. I feel this one is a little lacking in that area, though the story is interesting enough to have kept my attention.
I do love alternative physics and the weirdness that often accompanies it in Star Trek stories, and this story uses that to good effect in multiple ways.
The assimilation of B'Elanna by Seven and the merging of their personalities is an interesting idea. It works better than I expected. But the rest of the character voices just didn't click with me for the most part. It feels at times like the author was only vaguely familiar with the cast of Voyager while working through the story.
Despite these shortcomings, I'll read the rest of the series.

This is, I believe, the third time I've read this book, though clearly the first time since March 2012! I vaguely recall that I enjoy this book the most of the trilogy (and that it was the least scientific).
I certainly got a lot more of the references, but then I've rewatched TNG and Voyager a few times since my last read through! The characters feel very true to Voyager series 4/5, though the Chakotay/Janeway shipping annoyed me (for the simple reason that Endgame really, *really*, irritated me).
Now, to be fair to other books (including the one I finished earlier today), this book has the poor trope of ending on a cliffhanger which I detest. However I do suspect this was always meant to be part 1 of a trilogy, and as such it's a bit more acceptable.
So a strong start, here's hoping the other two books aren't as scientifically technical as I vaguely recall.

Boken är skriven av en författare som annars normalt brukar skriva böcker tillsammans med andra, eller kortare noveller i novellsamlingar. Här har han dock stått helt på egna fötter och har fått starta denna trilogi och därmed stakat ut de kommande böckerna. Boken känns oavslutad, men bör alltså ses som en första del till ett större slut vid tredje boken.
B'Elanna och Seven kämpar med sina interpersonella problem och får samtidigt en ökad förståelse för varandras syn på saker och ting. Intressant bok och författarens försök att stå på egna fötter upplevs som ett mycket lyckad idé. För dem som gillar B'Elannas och Sevens mellanliggande kamp är denna bok säkert en riktig "hit", men jag är inte en av dem.

I seem to be going through a bit of a Voyager thing at the moment. Getting my computer to read me ebooks is helping me get through a really boring bit of accounting at work. So while my fingers are tapping numbers and a bit of my brain is cross referencing transactions, the rest of my brain is off on an adventure. This was a great start to a series of books set between season 4 and 5. I loved the interaction between Seven and B'elanna when they were forced to work together, the writer got it spot on and even managed a bit of a laugh. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series.

This is Star Trek Voyager at its best! We have very high stakes including a whole solar system whose science doesn't make sense. We have interesting character pairings once the missions are divided up and everyone tries to do their thing. And we have some crazy pseudo-science that I just really enjoyed.
There are a lot of great zingers and key character moments and overall you can tell Lang has a deep love for writing stories in this universe.

It starts of well enough, but quickly changes tone and eventually completely lost me. I skimmed through the back half of this one.
I think the tipping point occurs quite early on, when a ship containing 17,000 people is destroyed and it looks like it may be Voyager's fault, but nobody really reacts to it and the whole situation is moved on from very quickly.

I wish this one had made it into the TV series...
** Possible spoiler, although I saw it coming before it did...** I wish I could have seen some of Seven’s expressions while she and B’Elanna were “linked”...

B'Elanna and Seven in their own mini collective was funny as hell!
And now I can't stop thinking how utterly hilarious Tom and Seven in the same situation would be!

A fun read. My first venture in to Voyager in over a decade, but it did not disappoint. The author truly captured the spirit and dialogue of the characters. I’m interested to see where part 2 leads.

Interesting story. The writing was a little harder to follow than some other Voyager authors, but it was still enjoyable.

Similar beats to an episode, loved it being fairly B'elanna centric.

Surprisingly, I managed to read this all in a day. B’Elanna and Seven bonding really gave the former an understanding of how alone the latter really feels.

“Cohesion” is the opening act of a trilogy of novels bridging the gap between the fourth and fifth season of the TV-series Star Trek Voyager. The show switched its show runner from retiring Jeri Taylor to Brannon Braga between those seasons and the shift in tone was noticeable if not horribly dramatic.
The fourth season ended on a hopeful note, but season five gave us a Captain Janeway filled with self-doubt, unable to leave her quarters and work. B’Elanna Torres was also depressed to the point of suicidal behavior. Ex-Borg Seven of Nine was more organically integrated into the crew. The String Theory trilogy is an attempt to take these shifts in tone and make good storytelling out of their origins.
Jeffrey Lang gives us a rather standalone story that mirrors a lot of the TV-show’s storytelling elements. We get a star system where the laws of physics are twisted, inhabited by a truly alien culture of tribal inhabitants, the Monorhans. And we get an engineering mystery that beautifully brings B’Elanna and Seven together, offering wonderful character dynamics to carry the story forward.
On the surface level “Cohesion” isn’t all that broad or epic, but its straightforward scientific mysteries are spiced up by truly excellent characterization. B’Elanna is spot on, the shadow of her upcoming depression subtly emerging as a vague feel of emptiness in the character. Her experience is just slightly off, just a tad dulled, but it feels completely plausible that this shadow would soon arise as a suicidal mania. Seven’s integration into the crew and her bonding with B’Elanna are also beautifully realized. Every character gets good scenes in this one, and they feel more complex and interesting than ever.
Then there are the Monorhans. This is not your typical alien race of the week. The Monorhans are a fascinating culture, complex, mysterious, strange but just relatable enough to make us care about them. Lang excels in anthropological speculation, making us want to know more about a race we just met.
The end of the novel is satisfying, but it also offers some titillating teasers for what’s ahead. Something mystical and big is coming. One problem has been solved but the Monorhans and their peculiar star system harbors something greater still.

The String Theory Trilogy takes place between the Fourth and Fifth Season of Star Trek Voyager.
Captain Janeway and company find themselves in a very weird place in the Delta Quadrant where the laws of physics and time do not apply. Nothing works as it should. They met up with a rather interesting species known as The Monorhanse.
All the characters get a moments of focus but the bulk of the story is the tumultuous relationship between B'elanna Torres and Seven of Nine. They take a shuttle to the planet surface only to crash land. In order to heal their injuries Seven of Nine uses her nanobots to form a 'mini-collective with Torres. The two learn to work together and understand each other a little better. It is also cause for some amusing scenes...like one where B'elanna dreams of Tom Paris and poor Seven of Nine is forced to 'watch'. Its a PG rated dream but still very funny.
My only complaint is some of the scenes are unnecessarily long and repetitive. Some of the descriptive paragraphs could be cut out and the book reduced in length. However over all this was a very compelling read. It was one of those books that I could not put down and it was nice to read a story that takes place in the later part of the series after Seven had joined the crew and Tom and B'Elanna were officially a couple.
