Star Trek: Voyager: Dark Matters Books in Order

Star Trek: Voyager: Dark Matters is Christie Golden's three-part Voyager adventure, beginning with Cloak and Dagger, followed by Ghost Dance and Shadow of Heaven. It takes the crew's long journey through the Delta Quadrant and gives it a very large problem: someone is tampering with dark matter and putting reality itself at risk.

The story begins when Telek R'Mor, a Romulan scientist Voyager knew in the past, contacts Janeway with a warning. Forces are interested in Voyager's future technology, and the ship may be carrying a danger no one has recognized.

Science gets strange fast.

In Ghost Dance, Chakotay and Tom Paris are lost in a shadow dimension while Janeway's crew deals with destructive dark matter and a conspiracy that reaches toward the Romulan Empire. Shadow of Heaven raises the stakes again when two realities begin to merge.

The trilogy has the pace of a classic television-era Star Trek story, with the ensemble split into teams and each group handling a different piece of the crisis. Janeway's command decisions, Chakotay's resourcefulness, and the crew's trust in one another keep the huge premise grounded.

Read these books in order. The danger, the parallel-reality material, and the character threads build from one installment to the next.
