Space Nine, and who it was that introduced me to the series I have a feeling that I did begin watching it about the same time when it first aired on television Looking back at the year of release and

earliest released Trek books always tend to be rushed out too soon, and have the highest chance of not being within the continuity of the show This is primarily because the characters still haven t been fleshed out well enough for outsiders to be writing about them And in some cases, even the show isn t fully fleshed out.This book has two things going against it One is character differences It s little things, but noticeable when you re a big fan of the show Rom calls Quark Quark inst The earliest released Trek books always tend to be rushed out too soon, and have the highest chance of not

, for one example While he does say Quark on occasion in the actual show, it s a rarity, while in this book he never calls Quark brother at all.Nitpicky, but it s just one of quite a few examples The second problem is overwriting to fill space In multiple places characters just keep repeating themselves to each other just to make the chapter longer It makes the characters look a bit stupid, to be

any of these novels, maybe it s their youth that is throwing me I believe Jadzia is so underused, but the again I m sure there are entire books devoted to Dax and the Trill Because of a line in the

work, intending to read the first chapter or two and head to bed.I read the whole thing in one sitting.This book did a great job of catching and keeping my attention, as well as keeping the suspense

and parts of it would have made an interesting DS9 episode, but somehow I felt like it never really gelled The interesting guest characters weren t used to full effect, and I felt many of the storylines ended abruptly and anticlimactically The signi...I found this book to be a MAJOR improvement from the last one, Bloodletter Whilst that was slow and people were out of character for the most part, this had most to all characters just right and was fast paced and it seemed like it would have been an above average episode I am not one for poker, so I never thought I d feel so involved
