Episode Novelizations

During the course of the series, several books were released that were novelizations of TV episodes. These include:

Episode title Author(s) Date released No. of pages Description / Notes Ref.
Caretaker L.A. Graf February 1, 1995 279 It is the episode novelization of the series' pilot with the same title, and was released about a month after the pilot first aired. The audio CD is read by Robert Picardo. (Listening length: 2 hours and 41 minutes) [1][2]
Flashback Diane Carey October 1, 1996 288 About 100 years before Lt. Tuvok served on board the starship USS Excelsior with Captain Hikaru Sulu. While traveling through an uncharted nebula, Tuvok is besieged by repressed recurring memories of his time with Sulu. To save her closest friend, Captain Kathryn Janeway follows Tuvok to the century-old bridge of the Excelsior during a desperate battle with the Klingons. Three days before, when Praxis exploded. After Sulu claimed their navigational equipment had malfunctioned, Kang insisted upon escorting the Excelsior back to Federation space, to help them from getting lost again. Sulu agreed, but on the way out of the nebula they were in, came up with a plan to disable the Klingon ship by igniting the sirillium that was also present in that nebula. After this succeeded, they set course once more for Qo'noS, before being attacked again by three Klingon battlecruisers – an attack that killed Lieutenant Dimitri Valtane. As Tuvok watched Valtane die, the memory appeared once more, and in Sickbay, the neural engrams destabilize, preventing the meld from being broken. On the Excelsior, Sulu could suddenly see Janeway, who was supposed to merely be an observer. In an effort to blend into the memories, Tuvok takes Janeway to a time where she can steal Commander Janice Rand's uniform. In Sickbay, Doctor and Kes notice an irregularity in the memories, and deduced they were not in fact memories, but instead a virus. Using thoron radiation, they begin to kill the virus. Tuvok recovers and the virus disappears. [23]
Day of Honor Michael Jan Friedman November 1, 1997 247 B'Elanna Torres has no intention of celebrating the Day of Honor, a day of glory for others of Klingon heritage, because of her childhood memories. [24]
Equinox Diane Carey October 1, 1999 254 Voyager's crew is surprised to receive an emergency hail from another Federation starship, the Equinox, in the Delta Quadrant. Captain Rudy Ransom (John Savage) asks for help from nucleogenic lifeforms. When no one can enter an area due to intentional overrides by the Equinox crew, Janeway sends the Doctor where he finds another EMH like himself and what the crew of the Equinox has been up to – using bio–energy from the lifeforms. The crew of the Equinox delete the Doctor's ethical sub-routines after stealing a shield generator from Voyager and send their EMH to Voyager. While stealing the generator, they capture Seven of Nine. They have the Doctor perform a number of probes which could harm Seven permanently. Ransom finally thinking like a Starfleet captain and officer sees the error he has made. He has most of his crew beam over to Voyager before the Equinox explodes. Janeway resumes her course for home as she strips the remaining crewmembers from Equinox of their ranks. [25]
Endgame July 1, 2001 240 In the year 2404, the Federation is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Voyager's return to Earth from 23 years in the Delta Quadrant. Now an Admiral, Kathryn Janeway regrets not going into a nebula filled with Borg. She has Miral (Paris and Torres)' daughter, whom was born on Voyager, steal a chrono deflector from a Klingon named Korath. Janeway's older self goes back in time to 2371 to help herself and her former crew get home. Janeway especially regrets not helping her friend, Tuvok , as he is suffering from a degenerative brain disease, yet does not tell the Captain as the only cure is a mind-meld with a family member—logically, he does not want to distract the Captain. In Admiral Janeway's future, the disease has progressed too far to be cured and he is in a mental institution. Commander Chakotay and Seven of Nine are dating. Admiral Janeway and Captain Janeway figure out a way for Voyager to ger home using the Unicomplex—the center of all Borg activity, where the Borg Queen herself resides. As Voyager gets through the transwarp corridor and fire torpedoes at the unprotected manifolds while traveling back to the Alpha Quadrant, but are pursued by a Borg sphere that has managed to withstand the pathogen's effects and assimilate Admiral Janeway's adaptive armor upgrade. It is now following the Borg Queen's final orders to destroy Voyager so that the Admiral (and her sabotage) will never exist. Unable to fight back against the ship's exterior defenses, Janeway takes her ship inside the sphere, where, upon its arrival one light year away from Earth's solar system, she detonates a torpedo that destroys the sphere from the inside.
