Publisher's description[]

From the back cover

When the USS 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.

Background[]

The German translation of the novel was released by Cross Cult in 2014. It was translated by Andrea Bottlinger and featured new cover art by Martin Frei.
The novel's release was announced at the New York Comic-Con in April 2008
According to comments from Keith R.A. DeCandido, the novel will "start initially where Enemy of My Enemy left off, and go all the way through to Destiny and beyond."
Along with Full Circle, Titan: Over a Torrent Sea by Christopher L. Bennett, A Singular Destiny by Keith R.A. DeCandido, and The Next Generation: Losing the Peace by William Leisner will also be following up on the events from Destiny.
Full Circle is the first novel in the relaunch series to be released since 2005, and the first not to be written by Christie Golden.
According to Beyer the novel was originally supposed to be two novels which later merged into one with two parts. The original novels were also supposed to be a trilogy with a book that would later become A Pocket Full of Lies.
The novel is split into two parts. Part One begins with a prologue set immediately after the events of Before Dishonor. 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.
