Cinescape has reviewed Diane Carey's adaptation of the VOYAGER finale "Endgame" in what the site calls a poor effort:

"The presumed rationale behind novelizing a TV show is to give fans of the series a chance to take a deeper look at their favorite stories. The novel format allows readers to explore characters’ thought processes in a way that can’t be shown visually. It also has the ability to spend time on details that passed by too quickly on the screen. It can even broaden special effects scenes, expanding them beyond the scope of what could be achieved on a TV budget. The best adaptations do all of these things. ENDGAME, however, does none of them, making it an utterly pointless book.

"In fact, characters that shined in the TV version come off flat. The greatest example of this is Tuvok. Tim Russ’ excellent performance as the mentally disturbed future Vulcan was convincingly manic on-screen. Carey’s writing doesn’t even try to capture that spark of obsessive flair, instead choosing to report the events like a disenchanted newspaper columnist."
