Atonement by Kirsten Beyer

4.0

Atonement is the final book in the story arc that began in the Protectors. The various plot points are wrapped up, even one that goes back to the book Full Circle.

An odd alliance of old enemies threatens The Full Circle Fleet and the Confederacy of the First Quadrant. Seven and Paris are back on earth embroiled in a plot of political intrigue. Many times shifting settings can be a problem but Beyers has managed to weave them together in a plausible way.

Atonement is the theme as we see individuals called to make up for their past mistakes. We see how that challenge is met and in some cases, not met even though reconciliation or forgiveness is offered.

There is a surprise appearance by an 'old friend'. I enjoyed seeing him again even though his involvement was brief.

This is an exciting end to the first year of the Full Circle Fleet's first year in the Delta Quadrant. I see many adventures ahead in their second year and look forward to Beyer's continuing mission with the Voyager crew.
