A great novelization! - By: K. Wyatt, 22 Aug 2003 
Pocket Books doesn't normallly go to Michael Jan Friedman for the novelization of TV episodes. When they do, it's for the better episodes. That is certainly the case here. This episode was one of Voyager's best & this novelization is one of the best. I like to read the novelizations to get a good perspective of what's going on between the TV scenes & what's going on in the character's minds. The author, as usual, did a wonderful job capturing the spirit of the characters & the plot. I would recommend this novelization to anybody who reads Trek. {ssintrepid}
Best Voyager novel this side of... anything! - By: , 11 Sep 1999 I heard about the episode "Day Of Honour" on the internet & I was dying to see it because I had always been rooting for Tom & B'Ellanna, even from season 1 when they hated each other. So obviously when I found out about "Day Of Honour" the book, I was straight down the nearest Sci-Fi book shop & buying it. It is fantastic. I love the beginning with young B'Ellanna & I love the Doctor sub-plot & the end is a priceless piece of writing. They'll be talking about this one for years to come.
I loved this book! - By: , 25 Aug 1999 Fans of the "Star Trek: Voyager" episode "Day of Honor" will love this! It's slightly more detailed than the TV episode but not boringly so. It also incorporates a sub-plot: the Holo-Doctor, seeing B'Elanna's Day of Honor holoprogram, decides to find himself a special holiday that will mean something to him. However this sub-plot works well & is tied into the story reallly well. Of course, the main story revolves around B'Elanna & this year's Day of Honor, which turns out to change her life forever. Nothing seems to go her way - she has forgotten to progam the computer to wake her up, & when she does finallly get up her sonic shower breaks, & then there are several problems in Engineering, PLUS some of the crew are off sick, & THEN, to top this catastrophic day off, they have to dump the warp core. Normallly this would be the low point of any day but when she & Tom Paris take one of the shuttlecraft to retrieve the core...it has been taken by the aliens whom Voyager have been trying to help. Life couldn't get any worse...until, of course, their shuttlecraft explodes & they're forced to float around in space in their protective suits...and then their oxygen supply starts to run out far sooner than it should. She knows she's going to die...and has to force herself to confront feelings that she would prefer not to deal with at alll...
