Hero Collector Books, out now

A companion to Volume 1’s coverage of A-K, this is a detailed selection of ships from Star Trek: Voyager’s Delta Quadrant that picks up the second half of the alphabet.

As with other releases in Hero Collector’s ongoing series of books devoted to different aspects of Star Trek’s spaceships, it’s beautifully presented. With each ship, which is illustrated from the original CG renders, we get context about how the ship was used in the show, any specific weaponry of note, and stills from the episode it appeared in.

Unless you’re very familiar with Voyager, it’s likely that most of these vessels will be new to you, particularly if they’re only used in a single episode. So this is an ideal opportunity to familiarise yourself with a range of Quarren ships, as well as favourites like the Species 8472 Bioship and the range of Vidiian ships. As with Volume 1, there’s a useful index at the back which informs the episode(s) each ship appears in, and a reverse version where we get the episode titles first.

Verdict: A worthy completion of a survey of the Delta Quadrant’s vessels, armed with both volumes you’ll be ready to retrace Janeway and crew’s steps. 9/10
