Product Description
Product Description
Scattered throughout the galaxy are Gateways which link star systems across unfathomable distances. The technology that built them has been lost for tens of millennia...but that doesn't mean that it can't be found again. Once they moved from world to world in a single step, through innumerable transdimensional gateways that spanned the galaxy. They were masters of space, and to those that feared them, they were demons of air and darkness. But long ago they left their empire and their miraculous technology behind. Now the key has been rediscovered, and all the doors have been flung open. Open for exploration...or open for invasion. On a world near space station Deep Space Nine, Colonel Kira Nerys, her crew, and some unexpected allies fight to avert destruction on a planetary scale. Meanwhile Lieutenant Nog and Ensign Thirishar ch Thane search for a way to shut down the portals forever; and behind the scenes Quark plays a dangerous game that could determine, once and for all, who wins control of the Gateways...

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Gateways series had a weak framing story, but don't let that put you off "Demons of Air and Darkness". More importantly, its the fourth book in the acclaimed series of DS9 novels published since 2001. DeCandido accurately depicts Kira, Bashir, Ezri, Quark, Nog, Kasidy etc and focuses on Taran'atar, the Jem'Hadar assigned to Deep Space 9 by Odo in "Avatar".
The story was followed up in "What You Lay Beyond", in ths short story "Horn and Ivory". If you have trouble finding a copy, both "Demons of Air and Darkness" and "Horn and Ivory" are available in the Twist of Faith omnibus.

I read this book whilst making my way through the ds9 relaunch novels. I very much enjoyed it, would recommend it to any ds9 fans. I am encouraged to buy the rest in the gateways series, and will probably get round to it at some time.

This book is part of a larger story (check out star trek TNG - Doors into Chaos) and you do feel this in the writing. On whole this is a good point as the story flows very well. The problems are that servaral of the main charcther as hardly used and even when they are it not to much use. (Dr Bashir on the bridge is a fine example) and even old charcters like Garak are wasted. I still did enjoy the book and it did move the whole DS9 saga along very well.
