Plot Summary of Pathways - Star Trek Voyager
"This story is by one of the co-creators of Star Trek Voyager so this provides readers with all the inside and past story to your favourite characters.
The crew are captured by hostile aliens and are slowly starving to death on a disease-ridden prison camp. As they plot their escape the crew keeps up their determination and clear their consciences's incase they don't survive, by sharing their past with one another. This book tells the story of the main characters and how their very different paths have brought them all together on the U.S.S. Voyager and the Delta Quadrant. It also tells the story of how Captain Janeway has affected the lives of the command crew. One of them holds the key to their escape and survival.
Jeri Taylor really gets inside the characters thoughts, feelings, actions, gives them a past and brings them to life."

H Louise, Resident Scholar
