Plot twist: what if when I talk about bolian leather, i’m actually referring to the little known industry on bolius that focuses on making environmentally friendly synthetic leather?

Walking and talking.

The Bolian’s doing most of the talking.

VOY Novel #14: Marooned

VOY #14: Marooned by Christie Golden Book Jacket’s Summary:      “When an alien pirate abducts Kes, USS Voyager takes off in hot pursuit, but the first rescue mission fails disastrously; an ion storm forces the shuttle to crash on an unknown world. Now Captain Janeway and her away team must embark on a hazardous trek through a hostile environment in search of a way off the planet, while Voyager, commanded by Chakotay, confronts an enemy fleet in the depths of space.” Yeaka’s Notes:     So, for some reason, this cover has “It’s Paris and Torres against the wilderness, with Kes’ life at stake!” at the top, even though all the main cast stars in this and Kes’ life isn’t endangered. Janeway is particularly amazing, in charge of the primary away team and resisting traps the others fall into early on. Tuvok, Neelix, B’Elanna, Tom, and a Bolian ensign are with her, while Chakotay, Harry, and the doctor field the ship. Even Chell and Carey show up, plus a few of Christie Golden’s usual Voyager extras. Everyone is in character, has plenty to do, and is lovingly handled. Despite the inaccuracy of the headline, this is indeed a good read for B’Elanna/Tom fans; you’ll even get her carrying him around and caring for him during an injury.    While everyone is doing their best to find Kes, she’s holding her own with rogue pirates. For once, this book actually mentions Stockholm Syndrome, playing on the cliché problematic romance tropes but in a blessedly self-aware way. The book jumps evenly between her and everyone else’s point of view. Both Janeway and Neelix find new aliens, and both sets are interesting and likeable. Neelix’s bond with a flying critter is particularly cute. Janeway’s diplomacy is as strong as ever. The plot is constantly evolving and the writing is compelling.     This is one of those books I found difficult to put down. It’s a near-perfect Voyager tale and should prove a solid read for any Trek fan.   Noteworthy moments: (below cut)

Ch1/p7 Janeway collects Kes from her garden for an away mission; they, Neelix, Tom, and B’Elanna visit a rundown space station

Ch3/p38 Harry tells B’Elanna Alice in Wonderland for inspiration

Ch4/p56 The doctor comes to the bridge to treat Janeway and bursts with concern over Kes

Ch5/p70 Away team of Janeway, Tvok, Tom, B’Elanna, Neelix, and a Bolian ensign; Janeway remembers having a snowglobe as a child and loving it but accidentally knocking over and breaking it while playing with her dog, Bramble

Ch6/p106 Away team has first contact without communicators

Ch9/p140 Chakotay, Harry, and the doctor are all that’s left of the senior staff to plan on Voyager; Carey, Chell, Garan (Gerron?), Henly now in temporary senior positions

Ch11/p173 Harry and Lyssa Campbell work on alien vessels, Harry thinks even DS9’s fare is preferable to their rations

p182 Neelix treats his injured pet and cuddles it while he hikes

Ch14/p205 Warning: Tom has a graphic, very bad wound and has to be partially amputated; B’Elanna comforts him while Janeway cuts it away; B’Elanna has to carry him

p214 Kes accidentally goes to bathe with her captor and almost falls into a Beauty and the Beast like situation

Ch15/p227 Neelix thinks of Janeway as “his beloved and adored captain”

p231 Tuvok mind melds with Neelix’s “pet”

Ch16/p246 Janeway and an alien have to go off alone
