Star Trek: Voyager: Unworthy

Synopsis

Freed with a thought, the greatest menace tohumanity, the Borg, are gone, absorbed into the Caeliar gestalt. Butare they? Can this deadly menace that has hovered over humanity fordecades truly be gone? Might some shadow of the Caeliar remain? TheFederation decides that they have to know, and Starfleet is ordered tofind out.

The Starship Voyager leads a fleet into a regionof space that has lived in fear of instant annihilation forgenerations: the Delta quadrant, home of the Borg. Afsarah Eden — thenew captain of Voyager — is charged with getting answers, to reach out to possible allies and resolve old enmities in the Delta quadrant.

Theperfection that was given to the Borg was withheld from Seven of Nine.Left behind, she is living a twilight existence — neither Borg norhuman — and slowly going mad. The whispers of the Collective,comforting murmurs she has always known, are replaced with a voice deepwithin her that keeps insisting she is Annika Hansen. Chakotay, theformer captain of Voyager, offers to help Seven rendezvous withthe ships that Starfleet Command has sent into the Delta quadrant, theprobable destination of the mysterious Caeliar.

These are not the friendly stars of the Federation; the unknown and the unexpected are the everyday.

Kristin Beyer writes at a quick pace that leads you through the story line without you getting lost (this is the second book Kristin Beyer has written in the Voyager line, Full Circle being the first).
If you like Science Fiction but did not watch the Star Trek Voyager show, then some of the characters might confuse you, and you may not really know the background of them.  A quick Google search on the characters and you should be good to go, don't let the lack of prior knowledge keep you from reading this. I did watch the show and had no problems feeling immersed from the start, but a quick refresher on the background is nice too!

Other than one perhaps needing a bit of history on the characters, the story is great and I am anxious to finish it, and then go back and read Full Circle.
