Loved this series. Really captures the characters from the tv show

Partly I would give this book only 2 stars. It just took so long to get me interested. Maybe that's because the story is mainly about Ocampa which never really interested me and Q - whom I find quite annoying - and the parts playing on the planet are more like Fantasy than Science Fiction. So not really the perfect book for me, but of course I wanted to finish the book series. Towards the end it was definitely gripping and that's what it got 3 stars for, but for me it was the weakest of the three String Theory books.

A solid ending which fits so well into where the series was at this point. Although I struggled with some of the concepts in this, and often got a bit lost in some of it, it was solid and a great conclusion to the three part story. I enjoyed Tom and Harry's adventures with the Q in particular and my P/T shipper heart was grateful for their thoughts of each other throughout (Although I am disappointed we didn't get a reuniting scene). Janeway was barely in this book at all - which did allow some more time for Chakotay so was interesting to see how he managed to lead the crew. Overall a good 3 parter which kept my interest.

Right off the bat, let me just say I hate it when they switch writers within a trilogy. The style changes, the characterization changes and the focus shifts. It's a bad idea. The most disappointing part of this book was that I actually enjoyed the first two in the series. By the time I got to this turd I was already two books into the story, so I had to suffer through the rest of this book. It couldn't be helped. Anyway, there were too many seperate storylines; too much focus on bland, original characters... just too much. The author tried to throw so many different things in this book that even the interesting plotlines were trimmed down to fit everything in. It resulted in a crowded, uneven Voyager novel and an unsatisfying, "Well I'm glad everything's okay, guys" conclusion to an otherwise decent series. My advice: Skip this series. The first two are fun, but not worth the anticlimactic climax.

Evolution is the final book in the String Theory trilogy.
The Doctor is the main focus of this part of the story. He is flung into the weird subspace dimension where he takes a revealing journey which answers more questions about the Ocampa. Tom and Harry have an an adventure with Q and q. Chakotay is in charge of Voyager as Janeway lies in a coma.
This book was a hard for me to get through. I like the character of the Doctor very much but I found his chapters were over long and too involved. There was too much time spent in his head. I got bored with it and found myself skimming through them. The parts on Voyager were not as exciting as they had been in the first two books. The Paris/Harry/q chapters were fun and while I've never been a big fan of Q I found I enjoyed those parts most of all.
This trilogy goes a long way in tying up loose ends left over from the series. Kes' later behavior is explained and so are Captain Janeway's mood swings. It is an epic story which I think every Voyager fan should read. Just keep in mind that some of the descriptive passages are a bit more in depth than most readers are used to but the overall story is worth the read.

This book was terrible. the characters acted like caricatures of themselves, sometimes shifting entirely into behaviors or language patterns that are just completely wrong. The plot went in ridiculous directions, the entire thing was basically solved by super powered beings, rendering most of the cast's actions irrelevant, and to top it off, there's a line about how Janeway will be emotionally erratic forevermore. Uh, say what now? This whole trilogy was sort of a mess, but this book is by far the worst.
