Full Circle (novel)

Introduction (blurb)
When the U.S.S. Voyager is dispatched on an urgent mission to the planet Kerovi, Captain Chakotay and his first officer, Commander Thomas Paris, must choose between following their orders and saving the lives of two of those dearest to them. B'Elanna Torres and her daughter, Miral, are both missing in the wake of a brutal attack on the Klingon world of Boreth. With the aid of their former captain, Admiral Kathryn Janeway - as well as many old friends and new allies - Voyager's crew must unravel an ancient mystery, placing themselves between two warrior sects battling for the soul of the Klingon people...while the life of Miral hangs in the balance. But these events and their repercussions are merely the prelude to even darker days to come. As Voyager is drawn into a desperate struggle to prevent the annihilation of the Federation, lives are shattered, and the bonds that were forged in the Delta Quadrant are challenged in ways that none could have imagined. For though destiny has dealt them crushing blows, Voyager's crew must rise to face their future...and begin a perilous journey in which the wheel of fate comes full circle.

The narrative of the first half of the book then picks up in 2378, a few weeks after the events of Enemy of My Enemy. Chapter 18 skips ahead to 2379 and then chapter 19 returns to the fallout of Before Dishonor showing how the various Voyager crewmembers learned of Kathryn Janeway's death.

Part Two takes place primarily in May of 2381 following the events of the Star Trek: Destiny, this half of the book also features various flashbacks to periods between 2378 and 2381, including the events of Destiny. The epilogue concludes the book in June 2381.
