David Mack, a tie-in Treklit author well known for tense drama, sometimes darker but strong portrayals of legacy characters, will be bringing us the tale of Seven’s journey to the Fenris Rangers. Mack’s consistently been nominated for the award for best genre fiction tie-in novels, and has recently won. He seems to be exactly the right author to take on this one.

From his @davidmack@wandering.shop presence on Mastodon:

Rejected by Starfleet Denied by the Federation SEVEN IS A WOMAN WITH NO HOME

Two years after Voyager returns from the Delta Quadrant, ex-Borg Seven of Nine embarks on a long-overdue journey of self-discovery — one that leads her to join the Fenris Rangers … but this choice might herald the end of her friendship with Kathryn Janeway.

COMING FEBRUARY 27, 2024 Available Now for Pre-Order in Hardcover, eBook, and Audiobook

Mack’s books are on my autobuy list so I preordered when the book was first announced. I can recommend.

It’s Mack’s first hardcover tie-in Trek novel, but that seems to be a thing now for all new books tied to the ongoing streaming series. Simon and Schuster know who their best, established tie-in authors are and they are matching them well with books for the new shows. There hasn’t been a lemon in the bunch.
