There’s plenty of coffee in the book!

Yep, there’s plenty of coffee in the book! Our Captain makes sure of that!
It’s lovely to hear in Captain Janeway’s own words the story of her life, how she grew up & what happened to her before Voyager.
It’s also great to hear her thoughts and feelings of their time in the Delta quadrant, what happened there & their journey home.
It’s reminded me of a few episodes that I want to go back and rewatch.
The last couple of chapters really add to the story of The End Game, so that as the reader/listener we feel like we see more of what happened to the crew after their return home.
Especially great that it’s read by the Captain herself, aka Kate Mulgrew. Really well presented and really enjoyable.

Loved this!

I absolutely loved listening to Kate Mulgrew bring Kathryn Janeway to life again after recently watching the Star Trek Voyager series for the first time.

Una McCormack deserves big kudos for this as she captures this well-beloved character and captain with crystal clear accuracy, first with the account of Janeway's home and family life, later extending into her experiences at the Star Fleet Academy and her first commissions about star ships before she took up her position of Captain aboard Voyager.

In this autobiography one learns about Kathryn Janeway not only as one of Star Trek's best known and best loved characters, but also as a daughter, sister, aunt, partner, friend, mentor and leader. She is human, first and foremost, and with all her admirable qualities that mark her as exceptional she is also prone to weaknesses and imperfections and a number of regrets along the way.

Fans will probably love this, and I know I will most probably go back for another listen before too much time has passed. An excellent, compelling, addictive listen - I can't recommend this highly enough to fans of Star Trek in general, or Voyager in particular.

Subtle and introspective

This was a very different experience to my expectations, but I've loved it just the same. It focuses much more on Janeway's early life than I was expecting, but delivered with Kate Mulgrew's iconic delivery as now Admiral Janeway it's been a joy to listen to, written with a deep understanding of the character, and touches on many points that will be of great interest to Voyager fans. Well worth a listen.

If you enjoyed the TV series, you will LOVE this

Getting Kate Mulgrew to narrate this was genius and the story is excellent. Those things they have added to the story from Voyager fit perfectly and the tone and style of writing is just what you would expect from Kathryn Janeway. I am not a big trekkie but have always enjoyed the show. I loved this book!

Informative and entertaining

The usual caveats with non canon Star Trek material but a throughly great book, giving an amazing insight to many established events in Trek lore. The narration by Kate Mulgrew captures the character perfectly (who else could) and I highly recommend

The missing piece of the story.

Brilliant, I really feel even more part of the Voyager family. From start to finish the story enlightens the listener to the life of Captain Janeway and that of the crew of the Starship Voyager. If you like the series then this is unmissable, it brings back memories and gives background information on the people and stories.
