Evolution by Heather Jarman

3.0

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.
