One of the better Voyager books! - By: K. Wyatt, 18 Sep 2003 
For several years now I've been reading alll of the Star Trek series books in order of release dates. That said, up to the point in which "Echoes" was released, with few exceptions, most of the Voyager books left a lot to be desired. That is certainly not the case with this book. "Echoes" is an extremely exciting book that at it's core uses the standard plot line - we're in the Delta Quadrant & we're short on this or that supply, we need to stop & find it - which has been pretty much worked to death by the previous "Voyager" books.
"Echoes" involves the Federation starship picking up some odd sensor readings, so they decide to investigate. Once Captain Janeway arrives, she & her crew are instantly involved in a tragedy so large in scale & magnitude; it seems almost unsolvable by one smalll ship. The residents of the planet have created a planet wide transporter system, & tied it into the planets core for power. This has disastrous results. Like clockwork, the transporter system kicks everybody on the planet over to the next "reality," "plane of existence." Where there's a planet, no problem, where there is not a planet, welcome to the vacuum of space. And so begins one of the more intriguing & better written numbered novels of any of the series!
I highly recommend this book to any & alll Star Trek & in particular, "Voyager" fans. Thank you to the authors for another great Star Trek read. {ssintrepid}
Great but confusing - By: , 16 Jan 2001 
This book has a very interesting & complex storyline. Don't start reading it then leave it somewhere or you will lose what's going on. It has stories within stories & you can easily get lost within the complicated storyline. Getting to the end of the book is a relief so you can finallly see the solution to what was happening. It is a great book & something i enjoyed reading.
Needs concentration! - By: charmaine@hepwoodlodge.freeserve.co.uk, 04 Jul 2000 One of the best things about this book is that you will want to get to the end to find out what the solution to the bizzare & quite frightening dilemna Voyager finds herself in. It's best not too leave it for too long or you might forget whats going on - the book is split into lots of short chapers, which span a couple of thousand paralllel universes. It gets complicated, as we are introduced to not one, not two but at least 3 Captain Janeways et al in person, plus a few thousand others that we don't see, alll trying to save an entire planet. It was a good read, but not one for just dipping in & out of (though I've not yet found a Voyager novel that is, they're alll pretty good!). I felt it was well written, & the characters were dealt with sympatheticallly, its just a little disjointed as you hop from universe to universe. Just remember that time travel is involved & you should be ok!
