Mosaic tells the life story of Captain Janeway, a compelling tale of personal bravery, personal loyalty, tragedy and triumph. As told by Jeri Taylor, co-creator and executive producer of Star Trek: Voyager, this is an in-depth look into the mind and soul of Star Trek's newest captain. Deep in the unexplored reaches of the Delta Quadrant, a surprise attack by a fierce Kazon sect leaves Captain Janeway fighting a desperate battle on two fronts: while she duels the Kazon warship in the gaseous mists of a murky nebula, an Away Team led by Lt. Tuvok is trapped on the surface ofa wilderness planet -- and stalked by superior Kazon ground forces. Forced to choose between the lives of the Away Team and the safety of her ship, Captain Janeway reviews the most important moments of her life, and the pivotal choices that made her the woman she is today. From her childhood to her time at Starfleet AcademyTM, from her first love to her first command, she must once again face the challenges and conflicts that have brought her to the point where she must now risk everything to put one more piece in the mosaic that is Kathryn Janeway.

Pickpick

The two narrative strands of the book - Janeway's mission to rescue Tuvok's stranded away team from attack by the Kazon; Janeway's reminisces on her childhood, youthful romances and early Starfleet career - interweave, coming together at the climax in a rather forced way. The Kazon story is interesting, if uninspired; the memoir is interesting if you're a Trekkie who particularly likes Janeway. As I'm one of the latter, I ended up enjoying 👇🏼

Bookwomble the story more than what I've written so far would suggest.
The Kazon story being fairly standard fare, the main USP is Janeway's back story, and I'd rather have had a whole novel on that subject, as there were plenty of elements which could have been explored and expanded. Given that Taylor was one the main creators of Voyager, and had defined Janeway's character for the show, she does Kathryn justice in the book. I guess the Delta Quadrant 👇🏼 3y
Bookwomble itself was a character in the show, so at the time of publication, 1996, that setting would have been important to include.
I don't think it works on its own merits, that is, it wouldn't be a good jumping on point as you have to already care for and know something about the characters to feel invested, but as fan-service it's 3.5 🌟 3y

Having a favourite Star Trek captain is a bit like having a favourite child: it's really not acceptable. However... Kathryn Janeway 🥇😁

I'm with Captain Janeway - I need my coffee this morning! ☕

Also wondering what it says about me that my phone's autocomplete has learnt the word "Janeway"? ??

GUYS if you love Voyager and Captain Kathryn Janeway (I know, I know, Trekkies love to hate on Voyager, but I don't care, I love it!), I cannot recommend this audiobook highly enough!!! I'm loving it! So much backstory of Janeway, even background like Mark and her dog explained, all narrated in Janeway's own voice! It's perfect! 😍 Ahhhh my Trekkie self is so happy!

If you are not a fan of Janeway/Voyager/Star Trek, then carry on your way. 😂

queerbookreader Get OUT I love Janeway 7y

I've been a terrible book hopper during this #litsypartyofone. I don't know what it is, I just can't concentrate for long on one book right now. So these are the audiobooks that, with great self control, I've restricted myself to today. I guess it could've been more. 😂

On a side note, this is my first Star Trek novel, and I'm quite entertained. It helps that Kate Mulgrew herself reads it! #audiostitching

For Star Trek's anniversary I'm actually trying to read some Trek novels, which is actually unusual for me. This is the first non-classic series related Trek novel I've read and I'm quite enjoying it. Voyager is much maligned by hardcore Trek nerds, but I always loved Captain Janeway and this book is only making me like her more. #StarTrek
