Summary: Good, but not great......
Comment: I am a BIG fan of Deep Space Nine, so I obviously love to read Deep Space Nine books. But this one, well, wasn't so good. The plot is OK, and the characters are OK, but it just didn't do it for me. The Ro/Kira thing was good, but I didn't think it was right that Ro and Kira took on a whole criminal ring and won. Plus, I didn't think that Sisko would ever let Quark pilot the Defiant, so that was pretty dumb, and why would Sisko leave Deep Space Nine without a crew???? It just doesn't make sense. I'm not a fan of Friedman, and I don't know who the other two people are, but I just hope that the two of you break off relations with Friedman, and write a new Deep Space Nine book.

Summary: A good idea gone bad
Comment: Originally Michelle Forbes was to go from Star Trek Next Generation to the Deep Space Nine show when she quit, Kira Nerys was created. So this book is sort of tongue in cheek. Unfortunately the blending of so many writers convolutes not the plot but the tone of the novel. Though it's not apparent who wrote what to avoid particular criticisms all of these writers, while versed in Star Trek have different styles.
So this book fails.

Summary: Sparks fly when Kira meets Ro
Comment: This book, which is a plot based around the first meeting of Kira and Ro Laren, is really good. I enjoyed their interactions a lot - they tease each other, act deliberately irritating, and say sarcastic things to each other, just like I'd imagine they would. But, eventually they realize they are more alike than different, which is as it should be. The plot was interesting - a plague caused by replicators, which is actually kind of a twist on the first season episode "Babel". I enjoyed the nice balance of action and character development. There weren't many problems, just two glaring ones - why were Kira and Ro hiking around Bajor on foot? Don't they have hovercars or something? The only explanation I can think of is that they wanted to be really, REALLY incognito. The other was that Sisko took only Quark as his crew on the Defiant. Surely the warship needs more than one person and one Ferengi to run it! And taking that fancy ship with its cloaking device into Orion space? That's just inviting them to steal it. They really should've taken a runabout! However, the writing quality was good, and it was a fun adventure to read. I recommend this novel to any DS9 or Ro Laren fan.
