Summary: One of the best!
Comment: Well, this book was a worthy ending to the Millenium epic, it's good to see some high quality books being published. It continues straight on from book II, and the 'hell' as such is very well done. Since I haven't read the first book, I came into the trilogy blind, which doesn't help when you're trying to decipher through masses of chronobabble as another reviewer called it. If you think you know about time travel, think you know exactly what is happening in the time travel episodes, read this book for the ultimate challenge. The writers, J&G for simplicity, must have degrees if not doctorates in physics for all this stuff. The book wraps up the trilogy nicely, particularly with having the action in different locations. All the characters were well done, particularly Jake, who has never had a major role in the series. All the things about the red orbs, it's really fascinating, and the little 'conspiracy' as such that surrounds them. If you are looking for a good read, buy this book.

Summary: Best Trek books in years
Comment: Well, that was a fun ride. This trilogy is the best Trek prosestory in years. Please let the Reeves-Stevens write more Trek. Thistrilogy feels much more "epic" in scope than most Trek series, even the other multi-book series. The multiple time jumps are quite a feat of editing, and the way everything finally falls together reminded me a bit of the end of Back to the Future II. The writers and characters do a wonderful, dizzying tap dance around past events, creating a nice interlocking puzzle that must be unravelled. If you've been avoiding the Trek books due to the feeling that they were getting repetitive, give these a try. If you've been following them all along, be prepared for a wake-up call. MILLENIUM raises the bar on what Pocket should be publishing from now on.

Summary: Epic Series! End book ties together all the pieces nicely.
Comment: Book II ended with Sisko in hell, and so I immediately jumped into book III. I was not disappointed. It took me only 3 days to complete, making this trilogy my fastest ever read trilogy.
The description of peoples' intellectual rather than physical hell was interesting. Question: was Worf in hell or did the Pah-Wraiths not know what got to him? Anyways, that's a moot point.
The authors themselves lay claim to being experts with the theory of nonlinear time (and time travel), and I must say this book (and the series in general, especially the Prologues with the Prophets) deals with it VERY well. This book is very good. I was so glad to see events from Book I portrayed from another viewpoint as the crew traveled back in time to DS9 during the Cardassian withdrawal and the destruction of the station. The way the crew jumps back and forth through time (corresponding with shifts from the blue to the red wormholes/temples) was brilliant! I was so very impressed by the lack of plot holes, or rather the consistency of the plots and how they tied together nicely and often quite surprisingly.
Garak vs Garak...what can one say? I've been wanting to see that for ages, and it was pure hilarity! Garak's final comments when Sisko observes him secretly handing something to past Garak is bang on what I expect of him. GREAT writing here! Sisko's constant worrying for his son was handled well. Jake finally doing something was much welcomed. Kira hugging Arla was pure emotional gold. Simple, yet beautiful. The 3 great Bajoran prophets! I assumed I knew who they were and the ending confimed that assumption. Quite funny, sort of like the Ferengi on the VOY episode. Btw, what happens to Vash? Surely she's not stuck in the past...I'm sure Q will bring her back to the 'present'. Regardless, a paradox still remains as reviewer Shuster points out. That it wasn't completely solved is understandable, and considering all the other plot holes that could have occured but did not, I am overall very impressed and pleased with having read these books.
Oh, and how about Weyoun's hell.. that was soo utterly sad and depressing I actually felt bad for him. Couldn't believe the writers could make me feel that way.
SPOILER: Dax killing future Dukat is absolutely pure brilliance seeing as the books take place the episode before Dax is killed by Dukat ("Tears of the Prophets").
The series actually has some subtle forewarning to what happens in Season 7 of DS9. Worf and Dax's concerns over who will die first is more profound knowing Jadzia Dax dies on the show. Simple stuff like that really make this series outstanding. Oh, and Vic's reappearance and philosophy is quite mind-rattling...(as it is in "Lives of Dax").
Once again the characterizations are spot on.
I also agree with reviewer Gawrisch that this book should not be read alone. Although it could be, it has so much more weight and value to it, AND INTRIGUE, having read the first two books first. Reviewer Clark hadn't read the first two and still gave the book 4/5 rating and called it the best DS9 book written. Had she read the first two she may have to change her mind (or some of the newer DS9 relaunch books).
Oh, and the Epilogue ties in nicely with the other DS9 relaunch books, paving way for Perry's novels Avatar, Rising Son and Unity.
All in all this is to date the best Trek trilogy written.
