    Author, Author was a superb episode of Star Trek: Voyager and I really enjoyed watching this episode because it had a very interesting story about the Doctor and his HoloNovel and how it closely resembles the crew of Voyager. There were some good laughs, action, drama and intrigue. It was great to watch the crew members react to the story. The Doctor had a lot of progress for himself and Holograms in general. I was entertained and look forward to watching the next episode!!!!!!!

    Reginald Barclay and Admiral Paris are able to contact Voyager using a com link. Barclay informs the crew that the com link will only work for 11 minutes a day. Janeway decides three people a day will be able to use the com link. Neelix has the crew pick isolinear chips to determine who gets to use it first. The whole crew has different numbers. The Doctor will be the first to use the com link. He contacts a famous Bolian publisher Ardon Broht of Broht & Forrester. The Doctor will be writing a book. The crew is a little uneasy. I rate this episode a 9.7moreless
