Welcome to the new Deep Space 9After the destruction of the original space station by a rogue faction of the Typhon Pact, Miles O Brien and Nog have led the Starfleet Corps of Engineers in designing and constructing a larger, advanced starbase in the Bajoran system Now, as familiar faces such as Benjamin Sisko, Kasidy Yates, Ezri Dax, Odo, and Quark arrive at the new station, Captain Ro Laren will host various heads of state to an impressive dedication ceremony The dignitaries include not only the leaders of allies such as Klingon Chancellor Martok, Ferengi Grand Nagus Rom, the Cardassian castellan, and the Bajoran first minister but also those of rival powers, such as the Romulan praetor and the Gorn imperator But as Ro s crew prepares to open DS9 to the entire Bajor Sector and beyond, disaster looms A faction has already set in action a shocking plan that, if successful, will shake the Alpha and Beta Quadrants to the core.And what of Kira Nerys, lost aboard a runabout when the Bajoran wormhole collapsed In the two years that have passed during construction of the new Deep Space 9, there have been no indications that the Celestial Temple, the Prophets, or Kira have survived But since Ben Sisko once learned that the wormhole aliens exist nonlinearly in time, what does that mean with respect to their fate, or that of the wormholeor of Kira herself New Read Revelation and Dust [ By ] David R.

footage from previous episodes to make up the majority of the content Often this comes in the form of flashbacks, remember when Usually this is to save on a season s production budget Wonder what the

the clips, you d be left with a short story about some Bajorans, an assassination, and a description of the new DS9 starbase So about 50 pages or so.In fact, if you were to compare this to a 1 hour

centered multivolume story is about as exciting as it gets Unfortunately, this book got tossed on the return pile 100 pages in Nothing happens Literally the entire first 100pp amounts to, the

needless backstory, appalling repet I d been looking forward to this book all summer the launch of a new DS9 centered multivolume story is about as exciting as it gets Unfortunately, this book got

Since the Typhon Pact arc started in the new Star Trek novels, the books have just felt off, but still I kept reading.I think this is the one that convinced me to just give up The whole series of current books in this pack seem to be ham handed political spy stuff with little of what make ST actually fun In doses that is fine, but that is all there in the series nowadays it seems The worst part is the extensive flashbacks throughout often t Let s just pretend I didn t spend time reading this Since the Typhon Pact arc started in the new Star Trek novels, the books have just felt off, but

this gong show of a placeholder premise It s not his fault It s not his fault that the DS9 storyline fell years behind in continuity from the rest of the TrekLit universe It s not his fault that the economic downturn resulted in the firing of visionary editors like Marco Palmieri who spearheaded amazing arcs and it s not his fault that Pocket publishes so many fewer books than it used to.So DRG

introspection, often to the point where the book drags to a halt and then needs some big event to get going again.You get a huge amount of description of the new Deep Space Nine, a lot of characters thinking about what s happened the last two years, and a glacial pace that suddenly bursts into the big event of the novel about 60 65% of the way into the book.And it ends wit As with most David R

whatnot that was to set up this series The final two thirds told the story of political tensions and strife The narrative seemed to pick up a bit, and I was able to zip through the second half fairly quickly As a whole, this seems like a great big set up for whatever is coming in the next four books I am excited to be through this one and ready t The first half of this novel was boring and slow I
