Mosaic (Star Trek Voyager) - Jeri Taylor

This is a very good book, and when I was first bought it, I was quite excited by the prospect of reading about the events which shaped one of Voyager's main characters.

The book follows Janeway from a child through until she is grown up, taking us through many events, and makes for a compelling read for any Trek fan, or anyone who is interested in it.

It is however, quite difficult to follow as you travel from the 'present' with Captain Janeway trying to rescue her away team from an alien planet, to Janeway in various states of her youth.

The author being one of the main producers on the TV series, makes it a very believable account of her life, and keeps the continuity of the star trek world, unlike some Trek books which, as a fan, when you read it makes you think, 'that doesn't seem right'.

Overall though it makes for a good read, and once you get into the book, you become used to the past-present changing every chapter or so. If you are looking for a good star trek/sci fi novel to read, I would recommend this one, but people unfamiliar with the series Voyager may want to watch a few episodes first to familiarise themselves with the characters.
