Summary: It's hard to describe this book without the word great.
Review: ..........................This book is an all-around great book, not just an all-around great Trek book, but a great BOOK. It keeps your interest through the whole thing, and there's one thing the authors did that I particularly liked: They didn't tell you how all the events of the book happened at the beginning, but give you fascinating tidbits all throughout the book, making you want to read the book that much more. I like how all the races ended up twenty-five years from the "present." Very logical. I liked how Picard was potrayed, and how desparate Starfleet can get. The one thing I didn't like, however, was the fact that Janeway was an admiral. What did she do, besides lose her ship and break the Prime Directive over and over again? I can understand Seven of Nine being one because of what she's done for the Federation, but Janeway? She isn't even a good captain. Anywayz, I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good read. All you DS9ers out there, even though it has Janeway, the EMH, and Seven of Nine, it's still a good book. So go out and buy it .........................

Summary: When I saw the cover on this one...
Review: ...I said "What's that s.o.b. Weyoun doing wearing a Bajoran earring?" It seems that, 25 years into the DS9 future, he's the new Kai of Bajor's major religion. Winn would roll over in her grave, if it weren't for the fact that, all in all, they'd have made a pretty good couple. The sheer volume of sanctimony the pair would be capable would reach all the way to the Gamma Quadrant. But we also get here Mr. & Mrs. Worf as a warrior couple beyond compare (but I found myself saying "Huh? I thought Dukat whacked Jadzia."). Not to mention Nog as a veteran middle-aged captain who has more than justified Ben Sisko's support getting him into the Academy. It occurred to me years ago, though, that he could call into a radio station and dedicate an old 20th century Earth pop classic by War to his old friend Jake: "The Sisko kid, he was a friend of mine". But seriously, if you only buy this book, you'll be missing a lot of story fore-and-aft. No one volume of this trilogy is meant to be read as a story in and of itself any more than any one volume of "Lord Of the Rings". I'm not comparing this saga to that, mind you. But it stands head-and-shoulders over the usual run of Trek novel. Those of you who dismiss Trek fiction as lightweight, be advised. The Reeves-Stevens team have given us a tale that can't be written off that easily. Give it a try--it'll be worth the sixteen bucks (if you buy all three volumes here) it costs.

Summary: SFRevu: Alt.Bleak.Future.Federation
Review: A lost Bajoran Orb of the Prophets promises to unlock another wormhole in the first two parts of this DS9 trilogy. Cardassians, Smugglers, and an Alternate Future (bleak). Oh My! In part one, lots of post occupation plotline, in book two, the Alt.Future Federation is in tatters, Picard is out to build the biggest starship ever seen, and Worf and Jadzia banter about their long life together. My first reaction to these books is; "What? Again?" My second is invariably; "Gee...what happens next?" Sigh...these books are as addictive as ever. (a third title yet to come...)

Summary: One of the best sets of books in the Deep Space Nine univers
Review: After reading the first 2 books of this 3 book set, I can't wait for the 3rd and final book! This is a marvel at combining all of our usual suspects in book one - The Fall of Terok Nor and then changing all of the rules in a wild and new universe in book two - The War of the Prophets. We see how people and ideals can change in a relatively short period of time for our DS9 stars and for others in the Star Trek universe. I have always hoped there would be books of this depth, length and crossover while reading every book that comes out every month. These make you think, dream and hope, while never following a set easy ending. I loved the way all of the characters interact, follow their usual ways, but bring a little more to the table than normal. I hope more authors follow this plan and are given the latitude by their publishers, whether it is DS9, STNG, or Voyager (which really needs to punched up like these book do for DS9). Thanks for the opportunity to comment. PHW

Summary: The War of the Prophets has begun...
Review: Book 2 of the Millennium series starts where Book 1 ended. (Although you will understand the main plot of "The War of the Prophets" without reading "The Fall of Terok Nor", I advise you to do it nevertheless!) The second wormhole is open, Sisko and the crew of the destroyed spacestation Deep Space Nine have travelled 25 years into the future. There, on the eve of the 25th century, a War of the Prophets is taking place between the Federation and a deeply religious power called the Bajoran Ascendency led by nobody else but Kai Weyoun! The Federation is seriously losing ground in this war. Earth and the entire Klingon Empire have been destroyed, the still existing parts of Starfleet are desperate and, as a result, they have given up all their moral principles and values, including the Prime Directive. Sisko, the Emissary of the False Prophets, as the wormhole aliens are called by Weyoun and his followers, must accept Vorta's authority and let the two Celestial Temples become one and bring the existence as we know it to an end. In the meantime, Starfleet is using every tactic, including time travel aboard the biggest starship ever built by Federation, to prevent Weyoun from accomplishing his plans... The action of the novel takes place on various stages, so it's difficult to summarize it properly. You have to read it for yourself to get the entire picture. Characters participating in the race that will ultimately decide not only Bajor's but the fate of the Universe itself have been described and characterized quite professionally. I particularly liked the characterizations of people who didn't travel in time but remained on the normal timeline during the Years of Hell, saw the all-out war, and changed together with the Federation. Do you want to know what will happen to Nog or Jean-Luc Picard or the crew of the Voyager in 25 years, then you have to buy this book. I willingly repeat my impressions: the story is fantastic, characterizations are far better than in any other Star Trek novel. Still there is a point I haven't mentioned yet, namely that you learn something while you are reading the book (for me this is the most important criteria). This book is plenty of religious and philosophical ideas you have to think about. Even if religious dialogues are based on Bajoran Prophets, you can easily transfer them onto our own beliefs. This book shows us the Star Trek universe at its best. If you have read book one, you MUST read its continuation. Otherwise you will probably not understand Book Three...

Summary: even better than the first one!
Review: I absolutely could NOT put this book down. It was even more of a page-turner than the first in this trilogy. While the first was more character-oriented (which I enjoyed), this one is more plot driven -- but what a plot! The crew of DS9 are trapped 25 years in the future where Weyoun has gone completely off his rocker, possesed by the Pah-wraiths. The only thing that bothered me a little is that the technology has improved so much as to be virtually unrecognizable in 25 years -- that's a little unrealistic. But the technobabble to support it is really good -- particularly the discussions of time travel. However, if you're tired of time travel/alternate timeline stories, you might be put off by this story, but I utterly loved it. The cameos and mentions of characters from TNG and Voyager are fun, too. A word of caution, though: make sure you have book three when you finish this -- it ends with a mighty big cliffhanger!

Summary: Wonderful Second Installment Of The Series
Review: I could not put this one down. I thought it was as good as the first one. It was interesting having the Defiant shot through the "red" Wormhole and ending up 25 years into the future. It was neat to see that two Voyager characters show up for just bit parts. This book however made me dislike Weyoun a whole lot more..saying that he is the True Emissary to the True prophets. It made smile when Sisko and Weyoun were alone on the Defiant that Sisko Did an incident to Weyoun and it made Sisko and I Feel So Good! I Would recommend This book to any Star Trek Fan who enjoys reading the books as much as watching the episodes!

Summary: The Best Trek book ever
Review: It bears repeting... Why can't all the Trek books be this good? After finishing the excellent first book in 3 days, I was looking forward to this but with a minor sense of dread that a) it wouldn't be as good as book 1 and b) it would suffer from "middle of the trilogy" syndrome in which it was merely a bridge between pt. 1 and pt. 3 but without stucture of it's own. My fears were quickly put aside as I began devouring this novel, which actually surpasses the first as far as story telling and characterazation. I was up until 3:30 AM on a work night reading, constantly telling myself that the lack of sleep was worth it to finish one more chapter (which became one more chapter, and then another- the story just doesn't *let* you put it down).I enjoy Trek books, but hardly consider them "serious" reads, usually tearing through them in a couple of days in between more "imprtant" books. For the first time I am actually looking forward to a Trek book coming out. The day I get paid, I will be getting book 3! If you have never read a Trek book before, and want to start, the Millenium series is the place.

Summary: Why can't all Trek Books be this good?
Review: Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens are the only authors that do justice to the world of Trek. The 3 part series plays just like a TV episode. I could visualize all the events in the book because the characters were on target. The elderly Admiral Picard, Captain Nog and all the other plot threads were better than the TV show. If only the final episode could have been this good! Judith and Garfield Reeves Stevens should be the story editors for the new Trek series. Whatever the producers decide as a series 5 idea; Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens should be involved!
