What Lay Beyond by Keith R.A. DeCandido, Diane Carey, Robert Greenberger, Robert Greenberger, Susan Wright, Peter David, Christie Golden

1.0

Considering what we discover about the gateways in the respective preceding books (Doors Into Chaos, Demons of Air & Darkness and No Man's Land being the ones that I exclusively read), 'What Lay Beyond' is the farthest thing from what I had expected to read. In some way, that probably overshadowed my expectations and tainted what I actually read. The gateways are essentially stargates or portals. What Colonel Kira, Captain Janeway and Captain Picard all experienced in their stories did not compute with me with what these portals were. It was bizarre and strange and not what I was expecting at all and I did not like it at all. Essentially, I DNF'd this book after reading the story for Voyager (without reading the story for TNG). It was such a disappointment after the build-up from the previous novels.
