On a largely mechanical world, Voyager discovers the strangest alien civilisation of all...and the meeting of worlds awakens the galaxy's deadliest enemies. In the furthest reaches of the Delta Quadrant the USS Voyager has encountered many strange and wondrous worlds -- but none so curious as that of the Chiar. An advanced race whose scientists have become galactic experts in nanotechnology, the Chiar have expanded inwards rather than out. Every inch of their planet is crawling with the tiniest bits and pieces of artificial intelligence imaginable, all of them working in concert to form the lifeblood of this mechanical world. The Chiar themselves are inseparable from their nanobots, which layer their skin and provide additional limbs or senses as required. Caught up in internal political conflict, some of the Chiar will take advantage of their meeting with the Starship Voyager to embark on an experiment which goes quietly but devastatingly out of control. Never thinking that there could exist a technology they can't tame, they believe that they can harness the awesome power of the Borg -- a conceit which soons turns out to be their most terrible mistake.… (mehr)

I don’t usually do this, but I’m abandoning this at about the halfway point. Because of that, I’m not rating it, but I will state my reasons for not finishing.

This one had potential, but it all seemed wildly unexplored. The alien race in question, the Chiar, with their ever-changing colored coats, reminded me of My Little Pony creatures, for those who can remember their kids playing with these. It was well written and breezy initially, for about the first 100 pages or so, but it seemed like an entrée, and while I kept waiting on the main meal to be served, it didn’t seem to be on the menu.

There are some somewhat interesting aspects to the beginning of feelings between Chakotay and Seven of Nine, and a few other things, but that’s all it seemed like to me — a book filled with somewhat interesting or enjoyable asides without a main story big enough or worthy enough to turn them into actual asides, tangental to the big goings on. Once Tom and Seven are kidnapped by these creatures, and we get into the slave stuff, Tom’s interaction with the Chiar, and some superficial stuff with the nano technology, I just felt like I was at a table filled with entrées and desserts, but no meat.

I simply lost interest because the story that might have been here, was never fully explored. It’s the only Voyager book I picked up recently that I felt was a bust, all the others being fun reads. At 330 pages this was way too long for a Star Trek story in paperback. I began thinking this was more suited to a comic book or graphic novel the longer I read, which was up to about page 170. I skimmed through sections from that point forward and it seemed just more of the same to me. It may seem strange to use the term superficial to describe a Star Trek book in paperback, which are mostly for Trek fans, but that was how I felt. It fools you at the outset however because it’s smooth and well written superficial. But that’s all it is.

I probably would have been generous to give this one three stars, but a lot of other people seem to love this one. It wasn’t my cup of tea at all, however, and I have some better stuff to read, so I’m abandoning this one, and calling it a day.
