Present tension

 
Present Tension book cover

An ordinary away mission to a trading planet turns deadly when Janeway puts herself at risk to protect a former Borg. While Janeway and Lynne cope with the aftermath, Seven of Nine adapts to a newcomer — and the realization that for the first time since her own severance from the Collective, her mind is no longer silent.

 

 

 

 

 

 
Lynne's trip to Earth has unexpected consequences; Seven of Nine renews her research into the practices of dating.

 

An ion storm interrupts the quality time Janeway had so carefully planned. After repairs are complete, she learns that sometimes all the planning in the world won't bring the expected results.

 

In search of a distraction, Janeway leads an away mission to an advanced trading planet and finds a far greater diversion than she could have imagined.

 

While Janeway and Lynne work their way through the emotional aftermath of Dakmor, Seven of Nine adjusts to a mind that is no longer silent.

 

Seven puts her new skills to the test; Lynne puts her heart on the line.
