Product Description

Product Description
A new era begins in the annals of Deep Space Nine...Star Trek's grittiest and most challenging series may have reached its climatic conclusion on the television screen, but all-new adventures on the frontiers of Federation space continue between the covers of Pocket Books. In the aftermath of the Dominion War that brought the Star Trek universe to the brink of ruin, space station Deep Space Nine - the galaxy's nexus of military and scientific intrigue, situated as it is on the wormhole that links two quadrants - once again becomes a flashpoint of impending Armageddon when a surprise attack cripples the station, killing the First Officer and threatening the fragile peace. Colonel Kira and the surviving crew of DS9 - along with four controverisal new officers - are all that stand against the outbreak of a new conflict and a doom fortold by the Prophets to coincide with the birth of Captain Benjamin Sisko's child. Meanwhile, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise make a startling discovery, one that will determine the course of an entire civilisation and profoundly affect the lives of the crew of Deep Space Nine...

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Much I Missed, 18 Feb 2003
By taking a rest - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
With 4 stars I may be erring on the high side of rating this book. However I do so as it is well written. The Deep Space Nine television series is not one that I kept up with and I chose this book as it was to include The Next Generation cast that I am familiar with. Before the actual tale starts there is a history of Deep Space Nine up until the book's beginning so, if your lack of knowledge is like mine, a general overview is provided. It cannot make up for dozen of missed episodes but it does make the read possible and enjoyable.

This is book one of a series and The Next Generation plays the minor role in this first installment. I believe this will change dramatically in book two due to a discovery that the Enterprise makes on an old Cardassian Freighter that requires a trip to the space station DS9. The one character that I always wondered what happened to plays a key role in this book and I would guess in many others that have preceded this volume. Ro Laren was always one of my favorite enigmatic characters from TNG series, and after she betrayed Captain Picard's trust and fled I was always curious as to what happened to her. Her back story is explained in broad strokes, but at the time of this book she is now in a position of authority on DS9. Nothing about her personality has become any smoother, but it appears as though there may finally be an opportunity for her to find someplace where she will no longer feel suspect, feel the outsider.

Prior to taking on any more new DS9 material I will have to go well back and reach a point where I can appreciate these stories without only having a brief historical overview for a crutch. This book seemed well done and I believe that to the extent it failed it was solely due to my lack of knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars DS9 Season 8 - only in bookstores, 21 May 2001
By A Customer
I was not disappointed by this surprisingly good double-novel that effectively kicks off a new chapter in the DS9 saga.

While some old characters are missed a little, the new arrivals are interesting - especially "Vaughn" who has definite potential. Stick with these books and you will be rewarded. It really does feel at the end like you've just watched a season 8 premiere!

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep Space Nine returns in style!, 13 May 2001
By A Customer
Deep Space Nine Avatar continues from where the series left off and even reads like an episode from the TV series. It develops the characters further then the series ever could and if the books continue like this I'll eagerly be awaiting the next new "episode".

When I first heard about the books I was slightly worried, wondering what the writers would do to one of my favourite TV series. But I had no cause for concern as the books continued with the style of the series and started some new arcs and introduced some new original regular and recurring characters. That's another one of the good things about the book, all of the characters aren't moaning about the rest of the crew leaving them, they have continued their lives and mostly welcomed the newer characters into their family in the three months since "What You Leave Behind".

On the whole this book is an enjoyable read, along with part 2, don't miss out on this book if you're a Star Trek or just a DS9 fan!

5.0 out of 5 stars In a word: Superb.
This book, I felt, has set a new standard for Star Trek novels. With the end of the series, the author was no longer bound to introduce a myriad of supporting characters, so no... Read more
