Good continuation with high stakes, and all the characters had a part in the story. Had trouble keeping my attention in it but that may have been due to life rather than the book itself. Looking forward to the final instalment of the series

2.5* It was nice to be in the ST:V world, and this book was better written than the first one in the trilogy... but it meandered, used manner adverbs abundantly (sic), and wasn't representative of the greatest smoothness in prose. The plot was intriguing in that I wondered how the 2nd book would build from the first... though the many parts could have been cut to delve more into certain places. Some of the best Star Trek work ever has been done when characters are trapped / have limited access, and begin to learn their environments. I feel that this was not the case with the main location (other than the ship) in this book, and that was a lost opportunity.

This is the second book in the String Theory trilogy.
Voyager is docked at an ancient space station. Tuvok finds himself the recipient of a mysterious summons coming from somewhere on the array. He abandons his post and shuttles over in order to answer the call. He finds himself caught up in a sub dimensional age old war that answers some of the questions about The Caretaker and the Ocampa.
On board Voyager a mysterious force deceives almost everyone into thinking Janeway's sister is a member of the crew who has traveled with them the whole time. The alien has an agenda and will stop at nothing to accomplish what she has set out to do.
Once again every character gets a moment of focus and they are all 'in' character when compared to their TV counterparts.
I enjoyed it. I thought it was very well written but as with the first book some of the descriptive parts of it were overlong. Tuvok's observations in the station could have been reduced and made a bit tighter but apart from that its a good story told well.

I definitely enjoyed this hollow than the first book. The beings behind the construction of the array are revealed, and Phoebe is a really interesting character. The evolution Tuvok goes through is also intriguing. I'm looking forward to the next book, which was well set up here.
