I've finally realized why suddenly reading Star Trek novels is problematic for me. In the past each novel was a stand alone. You can pick up any book and read it without feeling that you are missing crucial background. But in the last several years, all the books are part of an evolving universe that started to evolve from where it was left by the 10th movie (Nemesis) and the end of the Voyager series. So the only way to read them is in order of appearance. I'm going to make a list which will enable me to read then in the correct order. This book is about the 1st adventure of the Voyager's crew starting with their returning home from the Delta quadrant. They have the misfortune of coming home right after the Dominion war and find themselves being accused of plugging Earth with a Borg virus that turn humans into Borg drones. Near the end of the book I've figured out that the head of Starfleet's cover ops is behind that virus. This is the 1st of 2 books, with The Farther Shore being the sequel. Luckily I've it too and already started reading it.
