Summary: Klingons, Klingons and more Klingons
Review: After reading 'Fallen Heroes', my expectations were very high, and I was slightly disappointed. 'Vengeance' is good, but nowhere near the standard set by Daffyd ab Hugh's earlier book, which is one of the best ST works I have ever read. Be warned though, if you hate Klingons, don't buy this; Vengeance is full of 'em.The story has Worf's loyalties questioned when a group of Klingons including some of his friends attempt to take over the Deep Space Nine space station while Captain Sisko and most of the crew are away. One of my favourite parts of the book is O'Brien's speech about Dr Bashir, who he thinks is dead. This author manages to incorporate humour into otherwise serious or dull situations, which is one of the reasons I like his books so much. The book was mostly fast paced, although like some of the other reviewers, I agree it did drag in some places. I liked the way the author goes into the relationships between the crewmembers, especially Odo and Quark, and Doctor Bashir and Chief O'Brien. Mr Ab Hugh is particularly great at writing for Deep Space Nine, although anything he writes for Star Trek is good. As I said before, this book will appeal to most Klingon fans, in particular fans of Worf and DS9 fans in general. I give it three and a half stars - not quite four-star material but too good for three - because even though I'm not the Klingons' greatest fan, this was still a good, enjoyable piece of Sci-fi. If you like Vengeance, go and buy Fallen Heroes. If you don't like Vengeance ... still buy Fallen Heroes. Then you'll see this author at his best.

Summary: Not great but good.
Review: Daffyd ab Hugh does more than a good job describing and delving Odo's and Quark's relationship. That's why i also enjoyed "Fallen Heroes". Odo vs Quark is more amusing than Spock vs McCoy. I loved the moments when Quark quarreled with Odo and Odo blackmailed Quark. It was hilarous. This book about Klingon character is okay.

Summary: A good story line, but....
Review: I have been an avid fan of Star Trek since I was old enough to to say 'Captain Kirk' and 'Mr. Spock', and of the four series, Deep Space Nine has been my favorite so far. You can see that the Author worked very hard on the story line, despite that, this book does not rate high on my list. Story line is only part of the reading experience. The author, Dafydd Ab Hugh tends to put a more militaristic style on the Federation. He uses modern terms like "Master Chief" instead of "Chief" (How we've all heard it used) that have no business being in Star Trek. Add this to the fact that he tries to trap every explanation and nuance in a pitiful metaphore, and you have a book with a good all-around story line, but sadly lacking on the details. For instance, what about when O'Brien and Bashir are walking around on the outside of the station *without* environmental suits? What happened to the coldness of space?? I find it hard to believe that they could survive a minute out there, let alone long enough to to hide while some klingons pass by. Some good points though; the story is involving and unique. Despite it's shortcomings, I couldn't put it down. Even though I knew all of the terms used in 'Vengeance', I would probably only recommend this book to people who don't know much about Star Trek and don't care to learn much more.

Summary: Very Funny
Review: I have read quite a few trek books and this was probably one the most fun. Although the plot could have been better, the charecters were real and the book was very humorous.

Summary: Klingon Fans rejoice!
Review: I used to read Star Trek books with some regularity, and most were bad but some are okay. Recently I have only read the DS9's. I like them the best. Vengeance was rubbish. The characters were all wrong -- Sisko called Kira "Old Man", and whats up with "Master Chief" O'Brien? Hes not called that. The writing was despicable, which is too bad becasue ab Hugh's previous DS9 book, Fallen Heroes, was one of the best in the series. I am sorry I bought it.

Summary: Klingons and Honor invade DS9
Review: If you like Klingons, Worf and DS9, then you will probably like this book. Not the most original of the DS9 novels, but it does have its moments. See if you can find the errors on pages 208 and 261.

Summary: Klingon Fans rejoice!
Review: If you're a huge Klingon fan you don't need to look any further than this book. Even if you hate DS9 this book will appeal to you Klingonars. However, I thought that the book tended to drag at some points and at others the action became so fast paced that the reader's mind couldn't keep up with his/her eyes. I found some sections confusing, and there are mistakes such as those listed in the other reviews, but this book was still a nice little read for me. I doubt I'd read it again though, and many Trek fans would probably agree with me. If you read this book and don't like it don't pass judgement on Daffyd AB Hugh yet, go pick up Fallen Heroes first.
