Product Description
Product Description
The entire Alpha Quadrant has been threatened with deadly infiltration by the shape-shifting Founders of the Dominion. Already the Romulans and Cardassians have been decimated by the clandestine machinations of the Founders.
Now the newly promoted Captain Benjamin Sisko of "Deep Space Nine" TM has another problem: a massive fleet of Klingon warships has arrived at DS9 on a secret mission. Unable to learn anything from an elusive Klingon general, Sisko turns to Lt. Commander Worf, formerly of the "Starship Enterprise" TM -- and the only Klingon in Starfleet -- to try and uncover the truth.
What Worf learns has a profound impact on the future of the Alpha Quadrant, and Sisko must risk destroying the Federation-Klingon alliance to prevent a full-scale war.

"The Way of the Warrior" was one of the many highlights of DS9, due the writers approach to it as being the DS9 movie. The characters get great scenes, especially Sisko, Worf, Dukat, Gowron and Garak. Diane Carey doesn't stray too far from the source material, but adds some nice scenes of her own. Among these are scenes on Boreth, where Worf has several scenes with Lourn, one of the Klingon religious figures there.

The action scenes are superbly handled however the rest of it doesn't really sit right with me - especially the additions that weren't in the episode - particularly the Martok scenes considering his Changeling-ness. Average though!

The story truly captures the reader!
23 July 1998
Format:Paperback
The Way of the Warrior is a very complex story which forms the basis for the fourth season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. We see peace thrown out of the window in the whole Alpha Quadrant without any help from the Founders (well, that remains to be seen...). It's a political story, but also the story of Worf finding a new home and making the choice between his heritage, being a Klingon, and his upbringing, his Starfleet career and philosophy. The book starts a bit slowly, but after Worf's arrival the action truly captures the reader. The feeling about events running out of control is superbly sustained and Worf's conflict is heartbreaking. I think he'll make things even more interesting on Deep Space Nine.

Worf makes a career move
6 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a novelization of the TV episodes introducing Worf to DS9. The Enterprise has been destroyed, her crew scattered and Worf finds himself at loose ends. Before taking up his next assignment at DS9 Worf had taken some time to consider his options, particularly whether or not he should remain in Star Fleet at all.
Meanwhile on the station Sisko and the crew are attempting to find a way to guard against Changling infiltration - no easy task considering that a Changling can become anyone or anything and is detectable only by examining a blood sample. The Changlings are not the only problem that the Federation and DS9 face either, the Cardassians and Klingons are both looking at the threat of Dominion invasion as an opportunity to defeat the Federation.
Devoted fans of the series have no doubt already seen these episodes, probably more than once. Carey has remained true to the original stories but has added quite a bit of backstory so the written and televised versions act to complement each other. Even casual fans of the series, or even Star Trek in general, will probably enjoy this one. The characterizations are handled well, consistent with the TV versions and their is enough action to keep things moving along. The additional backstory that Carey incorporates fills in some blanks although long time of TNG will probably wonder what happened to the Troi/Worf romance that was beginning at the end of that series. Fans of DS9 or Worf will give this one a solid five stars, those who have only a passing interest will rate it a bit lower, but not much. Those not interested in DS9 or ST in general probably won't be reading this novel anyway.

DS9 The Way of the Warrior - A great novelization!
30 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
Some where between the third and fourth seasons of this incredible series, Paramount told the shows producers to come up with a new character that would add greatly to the series. In an incredible move, the shows producers were able to come up with Michael Dorn and the venerable character of Lieutenant Commander Worf. Now that they had this absolutely great character they had to come up with a very credible way to bring him into the fold, hence the magnificent fourth season opener, "The Way of the Warrior."
Author, Diane Carey, given the task of novelizing Ira Steven Behr and Robert Hewitt Wolfe's manuscript for "The Way of the Warrior," does an outstanding job of doing exactly what novelizations are designed to do; she quite laudably writes the scenes that we saw on the screen, throws in some great "between the scenes" scenes and captures the characters feelings extraordinarily well, all wrapped up in a well paced novelization that was a true joy to read!
The cover art for "The Way of the Warrior" is a slight cut above the rest of the novels that were being published at that time. While it still relies upon placing character images on the cover, the addition of the Klingon battle cruiser and the Defiant is pretty good. Overall, it lets the casual reader know that Worf is now involved with Deep Space Nine.
The premise:
Captain Sisko finds himself dealing with Gowron, Chancellor of the Klingon Council and General Martok, both leading a large force of Klingon ships and hanging around Deep Space Nine for reasons unknown to him. Faced with this force and unable to get any answers, he calls for Lieutenant Commander Worf in order to discover what the Klingons are there for.
Not unlike Captain Sisko when he first came to Deep Space Nine, Worf is facing the dilemma of having lost the Enterprise and his faith and he's thinking of leaving Starfleet, but he accepts Captain Sisko's mission and sets out to find out why the Klingons are there...
What follows from there is one of Diane Carey's best novelizations of one of the best episodes in the Star Trek canon. I highly recommend this novel to any and all fans of Star Trek fiction! {ssintrepid}
