The Liberated: Rebels Trilogy, Book 3 (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, No. 26)

Rating:
Summary: Not quite as bad as pts. 1 and 2
Review: "Rebels" pt. 3 was an O.K. conclusion to the overall poor series. I read "Vengeance", also by the author, which was bad, but thought I'd give him another chance; a big mistake. It was the fourth time I'd wished a ST novel would hurry and end; the other three times were Rebels 1&2 and Vengeance. As far as content, the turnaround of the Natives was nice to see, you feel for them throughout the series. The characterization was not the best. I thought Odo was too negative even for Odo, and Dax got on my nerves with her uncharacteristic bloodlust. The most upsetting thing is that we never learn who those people on the cover are! I'd assumed the woman was Sister Winn, but never in the three books does she pick up a weapon (except for a knife) and there was no prominent male Bajoran characters to explain the two men. Overall, I'm disappointed in my self for wasting $19.50 on this series.

Summary: Argh!
Review: I found this book poorly put together. (It could not seem to decide between light humor and horror). I was curious about the Natives and thought that the ending was a bit of a cop out. The largest problem I had with this book, however, was the subtle feeling that the charaters are not represented correctly. I cannot see Jadzia Dax as being afraid, for instance. And Quark is not really a coward, he just does not see fit to hide his fear when it strikes. Don't even let me get started on Major Kira and Kai! All in all quite disappointing read.

Summary: Great Book
Review: The Rebels Trilogy was a great edtion to the Star Trek Universe and I think it was a great series. I liked hearing more about Kai Winn and here life during Cardassian Rule. I also Think that Daffyd Ad Hugh is a great writer and has done well with most of his Star Trek books!
