Beyond the Borg vessels, fans can take a deep dive into thirty-five-plus ships operated by the various species Captain Janeway and the <em>U.S.S. Voyager<\/em> crew encountered during their adventures in the Delta Quadrant, spanning from A (the Akritirian patrol ship) to K (the Krenim warship).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The ships are illustrated using the original CG models created for the show, which have been retrieved from the archives, uncovering some hidden gems that will delight fans who thought they knew everything. Riley, Chaddock, and Wright complement the illustrations with detailed technical overviews and operational histories. <em>The Borg and Delta Quadrant: Akritirian To Krenim<\/em> will be followed later this summer by <em>The Delta Quadrant: Ledosian to Zahl<\/em>, which profiles more than fifty ships of the Delta Quadrant species, among them the Lokirrim Warship, the Species 8472 Bioship and the Vidiian Warships.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Book Set-Up:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Table of Contents<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledgments<\/p>\n<p>Foreword<\/p>\n<p>Afterword<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 1: The Borg<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 2: The Delta Quadrant<\/p>\n<p>Ships A-K with episodes<\/p>\n<p>Episodes A-Z with featured ships<\/p>\n<p>Episodes by series and season<\/p>\n<p>Advertisements<\/p>\n<p>Credits<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Review:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you are a big fan of the Borg, <em>Star Trek: Voyager<\/em> or ships, you will enjoy this book. If you&#8217;re a fan of all three, you&#8217;re going to love this book.<\/p>\n<p>Each ship includes data on that ship, where the ship was seen, and pictures of those ships. For the Borg section, Borg vessels were seen in Trek shows from <em>The Next Generation<\/em> through <em>Star Trek: Enterprise<\/em>. For the Delta Quadrant ships, all were seen in <em>Star Trek: Voyager.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Along with the photos of the ships, there are photos from the episode(s) in which they were seen. For example, when reading about a Kazon Raider, there are photos of the ship in action and of the Kazon themselves.<\/p>\n<p>All of the ships are here, from the well-known ones such as the Borg Cube and Hirogen Warships, to lesser-known ones such as the B&#8217;Omar Patrol Ship and a Kobali ship.<\/p>\n<p>This is an excellent reference book for Borg ships and especially for the ships of the Delta Quadrant and a must-have for fans. And the second book in this series is due out on July 6, so you won&#8217;t have long to wait to see the ships from L-Z.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Book Information:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Authors: <strong>Marcus Riley, Ian Chaddock<\/strong> and <strong>Mark Wright<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Publisher: <em>Hero Collector<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Publication Date: May 4, 2021<\/p>\n<p>ISBN-13: 978-1858759562<\/p>\n<p>ISBN-10: 1858759560<\/p>\n<p>Pages: 232<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Trek: The Borg and Delta Quadrant: Akritirian To Krenim<\/em> is available as a hardcover for $28.46 on Amazon.
