Hopeless

The writing was so bad that on every page were sentences that were simply nonsensical! I've never encountered a Star Trek novel so badly written.

A little warped, but overall not bad

I don't understand why everyone keeps saying that this book is so bad. I picked it up, and couldn't put it down. Sure, it got a little overinvolved with some technological details at points, but it's not bad.The only reason I will give it only four stars is because the author made one slight mistake. As I am writing a book about Federation starships, the author used both the runabouts Mekong and Ganges. Well, during my research, I learned that the Mekong is the runabout that was assigned to Deep Space 9 after the Ganges was destroyed. Just a little annoyance with me that the author did not research the information first.Overall, a good pick. I highly recommend you pick it up to read.

Adds depth to the TV show

This is a very good book, totally consistent with the television programme it is based upon. Except it goes further ,giving a lot more depth to the characters. Content wise, its very similar to Jeter's Blade runner sequels - concentrating on a techno-theocratic theme. As for why most everyone else reviewing this book hates it so much beats me. Maybe like C J Cherry's Superman novel, good writers need to be very careful as to the tie-in they choose to go with, as audience taste seems to be very limited to such things as a warp-core breach every ten seconds. Anyway, I liked it a lot, and its companion - Bloodletter, which comes in for the same stick.

Another Star Trek Horror book--Great for Halloween reading

This book definitely ranks with others in what I like to call the "Star Trek Horror" subgenre. Other books in this unusual subgenre include Bloodthirst, "Dark Mirror" by Diane Duane, and "Q Squared" by Peter David. I especially liked the scenes of interaction between Sisko and Kai Opaka's "ghost," or whatever she was--a great foreshadowing of the DS9 finale story ABC is showing right now! Kudos to Jeter and others for showing us that Star Trek doesn't have to be atheistic to be true to Gene Roddenberry's vision!
