Summary: Good ,for a DS 9 book. Anyone heard of the High Crusade?
Review: I don't read star trek books anymore, but I remember liking this one. My only probably is some of its basic ideas are from "The High Crusade" a science fiction novel by Poul Anderson. Don't take my word for it order that book from your library. The time travel & everybody dying parts were surprising & not in "The High Crusade" however. Enjoy.

Summary: YEA!!
Review: I have every Deep Space 9 book in the series...this HAS GOT to be one of the best! A good plot and a LOT of detail provide for very interesting reading. It's also very suspenseful. I also noted that the spirit of Deep Space 9 and star Trek was preserved, unlike some episodes of the TV show and some books.

Summary: EXCELLENT book! Highly recommended!
Review: I have read this book at least 10 times, and every single time, I have enjoyed it immensely. If you like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine books with serious action, thought-provoking concepts and ideas, and a LOT of good detail, characterization, and emotion, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU! GET IT!

Summary: Not the best Star Trek book I've ever read
Review: I thought it was kinda depressing since Bashir died (hes my favorite character) but the plot is good other than that and the fact everyone but the boring characters are killed...

Summary: thrilling, page turning, among the best
Review: I've read a lot of books. At lot of star trek books among them, but this book really is special. With Odo and Quark as it's central characters, teaming up to undo a great wrong, it gives every regular character the chance to shine very brightly, and very in character. I can promisse suspense, grieve, and laughter Do read this one. You won't regret it.

Summary: A bloody Star Trek thriller
Review: Is it possible? A bloody Star Trek thriller?
Sometimes very thrilling, sometimes even
splattery. For me a lot too much blood, although
the story is believable and the main characters of Odo and Quark a very well written. Because of the
leak of the Star Trek idea, I can only give it a 6. For a thriller in general I would give a 9.

Summary: This is just one great book!
Review: LIke I said. It is great. I really loved the part in the reactor chamber. It is the only time in my knowledge of anything going on down there. I love all the books where the station gets taken over though. :)

Summary: Interesting plot, poorly written
Review: Maybe I just don't get it. There are so many glowing reviews for Fallen Heroes that it almost made me wonder if I had read the same book. Granted, the plot is very good, and if I were rating just on that I probably would have given four stars. The dialogue is so horrible and inconsistent, though, that the best I could do was two stars, and that in my mind was being generous. This isn't the first book written by Dafyss ab Hugh that had me wondering if he ever watched the series but this one had some moments that really bothered me. The biggest one was Chief O'Brien. In the show he was a family man who loved his children (a fact established on Next Generation, at least with Molly who was the only one born at this point, so the arguement that the show was new and the characters not yet fleshed out when this book was written would not work). Yet in this book, when his wife is killed O'Brien decides that it's time for him to die as well, never once thinking of his daughter or the fact that his planned actions will leave her an orphan. The Chief O'Brien on the show would never abandon his daughter like that, especially while the station was under siege and Kieko was already gone. This O'Brien never even gave his daughter a second thought. Or a first thought, for that matter.The second character that I had trouble with was Jake Sisko. Forget the inconsistencies between the Jake of the show and the Jake in Fallen Heroes (there were several). The Jake character in this book was inconsistent with himself from page to page. In one scene he is a young child having trouble putting his thoughts into words. In another scene he is using technobable that would have Chief O'Brien scratching his head. The frightened child I could buy - especially this early in the series. The boy genius, though, I had a major problem with. It was as if Hugh forgot which series he was writing for and confused Jake with Wesley Crusher (and a couple of the lines would have even been a stretch for Crusher). I guess the bottom line is if you like violence and want to see a reality where most of the characters die, this is the book for you. If you want to read a book that is consistent with the series and with itself, look elsewhere. There are a lot of superior Star Trek books out there. This, despite some of the other reviews, is not one of them.
