Star Trek, Voyager: Mosaic (Adapted)

Relaxing and enjoyable

I love that Kate Mulgrew narrated this book. It adds so much depth to the reading. The story was enjoyable and I always wanted to hear more.

I have to admit that Voyager wasn't my favorite Star Trek and Janeway wasn't even my favorite Captain. But maybe I've made a mistake.
I found this story engaging and engrossing. I cared about all the characters and I dearly wish that it had been longer.

I have no doubt I will re-listen to this book and I will buy more books narrated by Kate. She has a natural style that was very appealing. It's also obvious that she cares about the material in the loving way she gives passion to her reading.

Bravo Kate, and thank you.

Best Star Trek book I've heard yet!

Only Kate Mulgrew could have done this book justice. She IS Captain Janeway, as surely as William Shatner IS Captain Kirk... Everything about her narration of this story was delightful: pacing, inflections, and emotion were all spot on.

The story itself has three main threads running through it: milestones and character shaping events in Janeway's life, Tuvok and an away team stranded on a planet, and Voyager battling with the Kazon over said planet.

I most enjoyed the bits about Janeway's life. Kate Mulgrew really brings the young Katherine to life - you feel like you are there with her in her early life. The threads involving Tuvok, Kes, Harry, etc seemed to suffer somewhat from abridgement. Overall I wasn't terrifically interested in the these two other threads. There is one point where some Kazon meet a very gruesome end that I thought was unnecessarily grotesque and overdone. Fortunately this portion is brief. Overall, a most excellent and enjoyable listen. I really felt that the Janeway portions added a great deal of dimension to the character.

Good story but...

I gave this only three stars not because of the story but because of the abridgment. Story is great and you learn much about Janeway. I just really dislike abridgments, I wish all the Star Trek book were not like this.

Shockingly Exceptional

To say that this Star Trek story was merely good would be an understatement. It is one of the best stories to be written by Jeri Taylor. This Novel provides a look into the soul of Captain Janeway. I for one found this book engaging and poignant. A good audio book if I ever heard one.

Kate Mulgrew shines

Kate Mulgrew’s narration is perfection. She IS Captain Janeway! The story is interesting. I love learning Capt Janeway’s back-story that we never learn in Voyager, but answers a lot of questions about where she came from and how she got there. The sound effects in the story are a bit corny and make the recording sound a bit dated...but to be fair it *is* dated since it was recorded back in 1996. Just know that it sounds like the 90’s. Other than that - it’s perfection.

Great Story

Loved this book,. Still miss Voyager after all these years. Brought back fond memories of the show.

Trekkie :)

I'm a big Star Trek fan, and Voyager has only added to it. Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway sealed the deal - and LOVED hearing her narrate this.
Maybe I'm a bit of a baby, but there were several parts of this story that brought tears to my eyes.
loved it! ❤❤❤
