I really enjoyed this book. The characters remained true to their backgrounds - I could practically hear the actors saying the lines! I didn't like the Chakotay/Seven underlying romance but I appreciated the author trying to make it seem like it had a lead up instead of how it came about in the series.

A solid story about the dangers of using technology you don't understand. Great character interactions, particularly between Tom and B'Elanna, and Seven and Chakotay - both in their mid-late series 7 relationships. The aliens were interesting and I enjoyed the general storyline - if a little bit tropey.
Would've been interesting to see Tom interacting with more of the crew and how his memory loss impacts his friends on the bridge. But the internal commentary in his head was perfect, and heartbreaking. It hurt my little shipper heart! His relationship to the alien - Boleer - was great as well, with some world building down on the planet. His story was my favourite.
I really enjoyed how Sevens Holoprogram led to her learning a lesson on being the better person in the face of bullying. Her perspectives of how her nano probes worked inside the body was a really interesting idea and worked well.
The story was well written, with lots of excitement, danger, intrigue and action. The characters were pretty accurate to their show selves, although would have been great to hear more off the rest of the crew.

This story takes place sometime early in Season 7 after Tom and B'Elanna are married. There are hints that B'Elanna might be pregnant.
Voyager has first contact with a race that has just crossed the warp drive barrier. They seem to be a peaceful friendly people but they are very dependent on nanotechnology so of course Seven is of great interest to them. Seven and Tom are kidnapped but they have separate story lines and for once its Tom who 'suffers' at the hands of the aliens.
Its an interesting idea and not a bad read and typical of the late season episodes of the show. I liked it.
