Review: Before Dishonor

I stopped reading Star Trek novels a while back, when they seemed to abandon standalone stories in favour of an increasingly byzantine continuity with seemingly endless crossovers and a galaxy spanning crisis every other month. I’d heard they’d killed off Captain Janeway a while back, but I’d largely forgotten about it until jedinic mentioned it in passing a few days ago. In the interests of getting some idea just what the hell’s been going on since I stopped reading, I thought I’d track down a copy of the relevant book myself – Peter David’s 'Before Dishonour', and see how her death was handled.

( The answer? Badly, but no more so than anything else in this train-wreck of a book. )
