This almost felt like a second go round at First Contact, picard exorcising the Borg once again. Despite new crew being mentioned, I didn’t feel as connected with them as I had in the other recent books I’ve read set a few years after this. Resistance in fact very much felt like the Jean-Luc and Beverly show, which was fine as far as it went, but not what I was really expecting.

janeway’s cameo also felt quite out-of-character, which was a shame. SO all-told, this felt like just another Borg story really.
