It tries far too hard to be a hard-hitting season one-style story (ironic, considering it's supposedly set in early season two). However, when it's being an action-adventure-mystery story, complete with epic imagery and witty dialogue...it's a winner. Not exactly a classic, but definitely worthy of your time. I would have loved to have seen the Okana shipyards visualed in a TV episode -- it's one of those iconic mental pictures that the "Star Trek" novels can produce from time to ti More...

Much better than the last trip to DS9, though the whole Bajor political thing never did grab me. At least this one took place mostly away from both Bajor and DS9 on an alien planet in the Gamma Quadrant.

As a fan of DS9 I suppose I'm a bit biast, as far as Star Trek goes, but I did like this book, that I remember. The sort of story that could well have been a part of the series, a definate for any other DS9 fans looking for original works.

Can't remember if I ever read this book... perhaps not. Hence, no rating and no reading date. Judging from the excerpt on the backside, it's not a very exciting story.
