Star Trek, Deep Space Nine: The 34th Rule

Rating:
Summary: The Ferengi's soft side
Review: We all know ferengi in ST are meant to be despised.
This presents them in a new light and brings out the best of them.
The brilliance of Grand Nagus is kept a suspense until the end and even regular readers are kept in dark.
The 34th rule which "Peace/War is good for business" is enacted out in the most glorious way.
A good, emotional read if one wants a non-funny look at Ferengi.
My respect for Ferengi and Quark grew by leaps after reading this.

Rating:
Summary: Ferengi in the prison camp
Review: Without spoiling it for the reader; if you never read another Star Trek novel again; read this one. It trandsends the genre. Quark and Rom are send to prison and he never sees life the same again. As a prisoner of War there were times when he believed he wouldn't survive. It doesn't portray the Ferengi in the role of the fool in this one. I wish that Pocket Books would release more books written by Armin Shimerman's Quark. If not for him Deep Space Nine would be very boring.
