Protectors is a Star Trek: Voyager novel by Kirsten Beyer published by Pocket Books in January 2014. It is the ninth VOY novel set after the series and the fifth of those taking place after Destiny. It centers around the re-discovery of a species of subspace distortions and newly resurrected Kathryn Janeway fighting for leadership of the Full Circle Fleet.

Description[]

From the back cover
Following the destruction of four fleet vessels at the hands of the Omega Continuum, the USS Voyager and USS Demeter set course for a region of the Delta Quadrant far beyond anything previously explored. Captain Chakotay is determined to prove to Starfleet Command that the fleet's ongoing mission is vital to Federation interests… and the key to doing so may lie in a distress call Voyager received nine years earlier, but could not investigate. Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway is recalled to the Alpha Quadrant for an evaluation period to determine her next assignment. Given the trauma she has recently endured, Admiral Akaar, Starfleet's Commander-in-Chief, questions Janeway's fitness to command the fleet. Janeway's primary concern remains the fleet's safety. For their mission to continue, she must find a way to secure the resources they require. But the uncertainty of her superior officers has left her powerless to act in their best interests. The USS Galen is dispatched to return Janeway to Earth and tasked thereafter with a mission to a remote starbase in the Beta Quadrant where an individual they believe to be a member of the Caeliar gestalt has been recovered. The Doctor's experience with Seven of Nine is vital to their efforts, but he soon discovers that their patient is more than meets the eye. As the remaining fleet struggles to communicate with a dangerous and mysterious alien technology that may hold the key to unlocking an ancient civilization, Janeway searches for the path to her future and the Doctor finds himself forced to betray one he holds dear to prevent the spread of a new plague now ravaging several Federation worlds.
