B'Elanna Torres has no intention of celebrating the Day of Honor. A day of glory for others of Klingon heritage, the day for Torres has always been a dark one, for reasons that stretch back to childhood memories she has tried to forget. This Day of Honor is no better. Trouble with the warp engines has crippled the U.S.S. Voyager just as it confronts a deadly threat. Torres and Tom Paris must put their lives on the line to restore the engines. With time running out, Torres has one last chance to accept the great loss she once suffered and reveal the true feelings she has buried for years.

"Tuvok and Neelix were such opposites. She wondered if any other captain had ever had to put up with a bickering pair like that."

Apart from the astoundingly misplaced Spock and McCoy reference I enjoyed this book most of all. Perhaps because it's rare to see a Voyager episode novelised well, but I really got into it. There were a few lines padding television dialog which sounded incongruous, but the opener of a five-year-old Torres was very well done, and the assimilation of the Caatati was a fascinating glimpse into another culture with very little space to do it in, which is always admirable.

A most worthy end to the series though, overall, not very much Klingon pov in the entire set and the whole ethos is a little Kirk-centric for my taste.
