More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Statesman, scholar, scientist. Engineer, officer, ambassador. Mother, father...and murderer. Virtually immortal, the symbiotic Trill named Dax -- an alien creature who must join with a humanoid host to survived -- has experienced nine very different lives over 357 years of Star Trek history.
Part historical epic, part anthology, The Lives of Dax tells the story of each of those incarnations, ranging from the formative days of the Federation to the terror of the war. The first all-professional Star Trek ever published, The Lives of Dax features stories from award-winning authors such as Steven Barnes, Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, L.A. Graf, and many others.
Packed with major Star Trek guest stars and surprises, designed to appeal to fans of every version of Gene Roddenberry's star-spanning saga, The Lives of Dax is one the most important -- and unique -- events in Star Trek publishing history.

Format:Paperback
As a series of short stories, I found each enjoyable and they tie in well with what the series has already established. As the editor said in the introduction to the book, the different writing styles really made each "life" feel seperate, whilst it is cohesive enough for the reader to feel that the hosts were meshing quite well.

I did enjoy the book of Dax but tought, that it could be longer. It would have been really good, if it would have been turned into a mini-serie of books. Nine incredible lives in one book? It's unfortunatly not possible. Still, i would advise anybody to read it. Dax, in all Her/his lives is still a good read.

Format:Paperback
I thought this book was a bit disappointing but it is still worth buying. The best stories were the Ezri story, the Emony story (although it didn't really tell us much about Emony) and the Jadzia story. The Audrid story was quite good as well, as was the Lela one. The book features a lot of familiar characters including a previous host of Odan, Admiral Janeway, a young Leonard McCoy, Captain Pike, and much more.

Mixed Bag
This book is a must for Dax fans and provides many enjoyable stories linking the Dax symbiont to the Star Trek universe. That said not all the stories are of equal quality. Read more

Loving the slug inside you
One of the more interesting characters in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is a Trill named Dax. Trills are humanoids who are hosts to slug-like being called a symbiont. Read more

Not bad, especially liked the Jadzia Dax segment.
Not bad, especially liked the Jadzia Dax tale. It read exactly like a Deepspace Nine episode.
The rest of the stories although adequate I found strangely unfulfilling, apart from... Read more
