When these stories have been told, all of the questions that have remained unaddressed since the fleet’s new mission began will be answered. The title of the third has not yet been released. The second in the series is Acts of Contrition. Protectors is the first installment in a trilogy of Voyager books, the finale of which will coincide with the twentieth anniversary of Voyager’s launch.
Nor do they understand the true nature of the threat they are facing. Starfleet believes they already have the best minds in the Federation working to find that cure. Unless a cure can be found, the body count of sixty-three billion the Borg left in their wake is going to grow. The Doctor, Voyager’s former EMH, is brought in to confirm this, and learns a great deal more than the true identity of patient “C-1.” While the fleet has been exploring the Delta Quadrant, a new plague has arisen closer to home one that appears to have been caused by Caeliar catoms. Their quest to save a dying world will lead them to place they could never have imagined, introduce them to a civilization as powerful as their own, and set the stage for an untimely reunion with several species Chakotay sincerely hoped to never encounter again.Ī remote Starbase in the Beta Quadrant has recovered a single survivor from a vessel they have identified as Caeliar.
Their investigation yields unexpected results, some, beautiful, some, horrifying. The alien technology they discover is mysterious and dangerous, and Chakotay butts heads from the start with Demeter’s captain, Commander Liam O’Donnell. Voyager and Demeter journey thousands of light years beyond any territory charted in the Delta Quadrant, by the Federation or the Borg. He pins his hopes on a distress call Voyager received nine years earlier, but was unable to answer. Putting those doubts to rest, however, will require the admiral to confront some hard truths and buried fears ones she’s spent her entire existence refusing to face.Ĭaptain Chakotay knows that for the fleet’s explorations to continue, he’s going to have to demonstrate to Command that despite heavy losses, their original mission remains vital to Starfleet’s interests. It will be up to Janeway to prove them wrong, or spend the next two-and-a-half years monitoring the fleet’s activities from a desk in San Francisco. A number of her fellow officers have honest and well-founded doubts about the admiral’s current fitness for command. As Protectors opens, that offer has been rescinded, pending an exhaustive physical and psychological evaluation.
At the end of The Eternal Tide, a newly resurrected Admiral Kathryn Janeway was offered command of the fleet.
