a slight retraction

10:22 PM 4/20/06 · A couple days ago I put up a mild, okay I was quite cranky, complaint regarding the Voyager novel Homecoming. Written by Christine Golden, who I believe I referred to as an unrepentant crackwhore with no sense of emotional depth, it was slow and plodding and about as flat as the pages it was printed on.
To be fair, I was only a little bit into it up at the time.
I may have been a bit impatient at the point I wrote that. They were covering the whole of getting back to Earth and family reunions and ceremony and settling back into life and I was bored to tears. Especially because I have a major zen for the Borg and the lack of going into what I knew was coming just grated on me like you cannot believe. Even the slight development of the Holographic Revolution didn't do much for me...
...then things started flowing when the Borg Virus kicked a bit more into gear and I hit a pace that worked for me. I was barely a few chapters into Homecoming when I got to work Thursday but finished it before the middle of my shift. I headed home and, after a rushed search as my place looks like a tornado hit it then flipped it over and dropped it roughly, read The Farther Shore.
That was about 2½ hours ago.
I just finished it...might have done a personal best there as it's about 275 pages.
Her sense of emotional depth didn't get much better but the pace of things when they got going was amazing. Enough that I believe she handles an intense storyline better than she does humdrum everyday stuff. When I finished it I felt myself begging for another, probably just to see what Chakotay will do as captain of Voyager in the Alpha Quadrant.
Should mention I've not read any Star Trek novels for about 4 years. They used to be my drug of choice...
...I can stop anytime I want but I really want some more of this. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be anymore Voyager novels and this last one was written in 2003.
Any recommends?
