A review by djwudi
The Final Fury by Dafydd ab Hugh
2.0
Almost exactly a year ago, I read a novel based on the Doom video game series ([b: Knee-Deep in the Dead|222149|Knee-Deep in the Dead (Doom #1)|Dafydd ab Hugh|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1389233703s/222149.jpg|215136]), and was soundly unimpressed; it was about what you'd expect from such a project, little more than a small group of people running around a hellish maze being chased by demons.
This Trek novel, by the same author as that Doom book, has large sections that are little more than a small group of people running around a hellish maze being chased by demons.
Well, I guess this author knows his strengths....
Between that unfortunate (if, admittedly, somewhat amusing) similarity, and this book being a Voyager novel (my least favorite of the first four Trek series), and this book being one of the earlier Voyager novels, set in the first year or so of their journey, when the characters were all still developing...it was a drag. If it wasn't the last book in a four-book crossover series, I'd likely not have bothered. But I'd read the first three, so I slogged my way through this one. And now I can go on to something else.
