AppendicesEdit
BackgroundEdit
- The novel makes frequent reference to "the new shuttle", that was a particular project for Tom Paris. This is most likely intended to be a reference to the Delta Flyer, introduced to Voyager a few months before this book was published, with the novel written before specific details about the new ship were known.
- Two separate editions exist of this novel. One uses a cover image with an illustration of Tuvok and Kathryn Janeway, while the other has the characters removed and just shows USS Voyager and a planet. Later foreign translations used the version without the characters.
