Kirsten Beyer is a bestselling author of fantasy and science fiction novels best known as the author of the “Star Trek Voyager” novels. Known as the Oracle of the Star Trek universe, she is one author that knows pretty much everything about the books and movies in the fantasy series. Kirsten wrote her debut novel of the “Star Trek: Voyager: String Theory” titled “Fusion” in 2005 and has never looked back since. She has since then penned more than ten titles in the “Star Trek: Voyager: String Theory,” “Alias,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Star Trek: Voyager,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” a young adult series. She has also been actively writing articles for “Star Trek Magazine” over the years. Before she became an author, she was involved in the production of “This Old Planet,” “Johnson over Jordan,” and “Harold Pinter’s The Hothouse” all of which were set in Los Angeles. The latter was called an unmissable piece of work by the L.A. Times. She has also been involved in “Passions,” “General Hospital,” the world Premier of” Quills, and Geffen Playhouse.” Her interest in the arts is not hard to understand given that she went to college where she graduated with a degree in theater arts and English literature. She also attended the University of California and Los Angeles for her master’s in fine arts. She currently lives with her husband and daughter in Los Angeles.
Kirsten got her start in the creative world writing novels in the Voyager series such as “To Lose the Earth,” “The Eternal Side,” and “Full Circle” among others. However, she would later get into writing for television, which is a completely different experience. While in books it can be easy putting the character’s internal thoughts on the page, it is not the same on TV. On television, it is easy to write the basic stories as the hard part is trying to make stories that are powerful and relevant to resonate with the audience. As such, TV for Beyer is all about putting several people in a room and introducing articles to find out how they deal with the changing circumstances. Some of the questions she had to deal with include what are their needs and wants as individuals and groups and how are they working towards achieving those goals or getting in each other’s way. She will often use the idea of the North Star in plotting her stories so that the character journeys will often crisscross and cross each other. While she loved writing novels, she was sure that writing for TV would be an exciting experience and hence she jumped at the chance to write the script for Star Trek Voyager. She started asking herself where to take the Star Trek series and thus sat down and wrote a pith for the new series.
In 2008, Beyer was charged with relaunching the “Voyager” novels as the main author. It was not the first time she had been tapped to write the series, given that she was responsible for writing “Fusion” a Voyager novel. During the run of “Star Trek: Voyager,” she had also written “Distant Shores” an anthology. By 2009, she had written “Full Circle” that was the first novel of the “Star Trek: Voyager” series of novels. She has been the lead novelist and author of the series since then publishing more than ten titles by 2020. In 2016, she was tapped to become a staff writer for “Star Trek: Discovery” and was actively involved in the writing room where she cowrote “Si Vis, Para Bellum” the first episode of the new season. Kirsten Beyer has also been involved in the writing and coordinating of spin-off products such as comics and novels in the Discovery universe. She has been working with Mike Johnson and the two are cowriters of “Star Trek Discovery – Succession,” “Star Trek: Discovery Annual 2018,” and “Star Trek: Discovery – The Light of Kahless.” Another of her biggest contributions to the Star Trek universe was writing and creating “Star Trek: Picard” series.
“Full Circle” by Kirsten Beyer is the story of an American spaceship, the USS Voyager that is sent on a mission to Kerovi a faraway planet. Captain Chakotay and Commander Paris Thomas the first officer have to decide between saving the lives of the people they love the most and following the orders they have been given. B’Elanna Torres and Miral her daughter had disappeared after a brutal attack on Boreth, where the Klingon live. Admiral Kathryn Janeway the former captain of the Voyager alongside several new allies and friends, has been helping the crew who are trying to disentangle an ancient mystery. But in doing so they are placing themselves between two vicious factions who are fighting it out for the Klingon people even as the life of Miral is in jeopardy. But the events and the reverberations from them offer a prelude to looming days of turmoil. The Voyager is drawn into a desperate struggle to stop the destruction of the Federation as bonds that had been made in the Delta Quadrant are tested to the limit and lives are devastated. For even though they have been dealt a devastating blow by destiny, they have to face up to their future and embark on a journey that will take them full circle.
Kirsten Beyer’s “Unworthy” opens to the Borg the greatest threat to humanity in recent times freed and absorbed into the gestalt. But are they really gone given how long they had rained terror over humanity? Since the authorities are not sure if they are truly rid of the Borg, they send a Starfleet to find out if there are any left. The Starship Voyager is the lead vessel that goes ahead of a squadron to explore a region of interstellar space where the inhabitants have been living in terror and fear of annihilation for millennia. In addition to his reconnaissance mission, the captain of the Starship Voyager has to also resolve old enmities and reach out to old friends and allies. Seven of Nine never had the perfection that the Borg enjoyed and hence she was left in limbo when they left as she is neither human nor Borg and is slowly losing her mind. The reassuring murmurs of the Collective have now been substituted with a strange voice that insists that she is Annika Hansen. The former captain of the Voyager offers to help her meet up with ships sent into the Delta Quadrant, which is perhaps where her brethren are headed. It is not a very hospitable part of the Federation and the unexpected and the unknown are the order of the day.
“Children of the Storm” by Kirsten Beyer is about the Children of the Storm of whom little is known. they are a unique breed and potentially most dangerous species that the Federation ever had to deal with. They do not have physical bodies and travel in space through their thoughts and had in one battle managed to destroy thousands of ships crewed by the mighty Borg. The feat had been made all the more spectacular given that they had not fired any of the usual weapons expected to be employed in such a confrontation. The three Federation ships on a mission to Delta Quadrant have just come under attack from the Children of the Storm and Fleet Commander Afsarah Eden and Captain Chakotay need to find out why they have been targeted. They did not provoke the Children and now thousands of lives in the squadron are being threatened by an enemy they know very little about.
