Full Circle is a Star Trek: Voyager novel, by Kirsten Beyer, published by Pocket Books in 2009. It is the first to be written by Beyer and the fifth in the Voyager relaunch. The first part of the novel centers around Miral Paris' kidnapping by Klingon sect Warriors of Gre'thor and the Curse of the Gods while the second part shows Voyagers' action during the Borg Invasion of 2381 and sets up the mission of the Project Full Circle.

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.
