Summary: A must read for any DS9 fan!
Review: "The Fall of Terok Nor" by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, and the first of the Millenium triology, is definetly worth reading!The first book of the trilogy, "Fall of Terok Nor" is probably the best, and it is a great intruduction intot he trilogy. I highly reccomend it for anyone who is a fan of DSP, Star Trek, or Science Fiction, because it is definetly worth reading, even i fyou were to only read it, and not the other two. (It has a bit of a cliffhanger at the end, so I would read all three) The story starts out on Deep Space Nine. An Andorian merchant was found dead on the ship and Odo blames Quark. Two Cardassian bodies are found melded in the hull of the ship by Chief O'Brien. Many other odd things happen, including the finding of the orbs of Jalbador, believed to be no more than a myth to Bajorans. This story is wonderful, and I can't stress it enough. I also commend the authors, awho are fantastic in no tonly just Star Trek books, but other titles as well.

Summary: The beginning of a voyage through space and time
Review: "The Fall of Terok Nor" begins with a view of Captain Sisko's function in the wormhole after the end of Deep Space 9 on TV. He is supposed to teach the Prophets the concept of linearity of time. But that fact isn't important - at least in the first book. The actual story takes place during the 6th season of DS9. Quark is arrested for murder. At the same time, smugglers from all over our galaxy arrive on DS9 to buy a Bajoran artifact, namely a Red Orb of the Prophets. Or is it an Orb of the Pah-Wraith? Or of some third party? Nobody really knows, but still everybody is eager to get the artifact as quickly as possible. Cardassians arrive on the station and claim that the Orbs (there are 3 of them) rightfully belong to them. After some further developments, the Orbs are found. Kai Winn maintains that they are fake. Sisko and his officers prove the opposite by - accidently, I should say - placing the artifacts to close to each other. What happens next, I will not say, but be sure that following events will change Deep Space Nine forever. Some of the characters playing an important role in the novel we've already known. The crew of DS9, Quark, Garak, Vash(! ) and some other individuals we've seen before several times belong to this category. There are also some characters who appear for the first time: the Bajoran Arla Rees, the Cardassian Terell and some others without so much importance as those two women. Where their importance lies, please find out by yourselves when you read the book! I can say that only the interactions of the people named above are worth buying the novel and reading it from page 1 to the end. The characters aren't the only highlights, though. There are more of them, namely when the story is concerned. The plot develops in a very curious way. First the novel seems to be a criminal one, then it changes its character and becomes mythological and at last it gains tremendous importance because its subject is the future of the universe itself. Quite interesting how the authors steer the direction of the book! What I also quite liked about it were completely different plots that first seemed to stand for themselves but after some time began to form pieces of a puzzle. Slowly, those pieces converged and built a single picture of a mighty story concerning Deep Space 9 and Bajoran religion. Last but not least, I offer a list of subjects I especially liked about Millennium Part One: excellent characterizations (you'll need some time to find similar ones in other Trek books), interesting new people, irony (the way the authours dealt with Morn; Jake Sisko's thoughts concerning the difference between reality of his novel and the "reality" aboard the spacestation), philosophical and religious points of view of different characters, charm of the TV series and much more. Of course the book has some negative points as well, but they aren't very important so that I will not tell them. Well, maybe one: I was quite disappointed that the title had not much to do with the contents. The book should have been given a different title! My advice: If you like reading Trek fiction, this book and its continuations are a must. If you don't, try those three and you will become a Trek reader!

Summary: One of the Better "Trek" Books Out There
Review: "The Fall of Terok Nor" is an excellent book that kept my interest throughout. Obviously, if you don't like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, you aren't going to go for this, but if you do, you probably will -- even if you normally don't like the book line. The Reeves-Stevens have an excellent feel for all the characters, particularly Jake, Nog, Odo, and Quark. You can really picture the actors saying the lines that were written, as opposed to all of those books where the characters are quoted as saying things that aren't phrased the way the character would say something on the show. The cliff-hanger at the end of the story was also really excellent. It left me breathless waiting for the next book, but at the same time didn't feel like some arbitrary break in the middle of a story. Book one is really distinct in setting and plot from the book that follows (as you'll see if you read it), even though it is cohesive as an overall storyline (there's definitely some setup and foreshadowing going on in this book).

Summary: Well, that figures--the best Trek multi-volume...
Review: ...from the best of all the Treks--Deep Space Nine. We get all the best characters and they're at their best here. Worf (my favorite character in all the Treks), a human-raised Klingon who's as tough as any, but unlike the Klingons Kirk had to face, is a heluva decent guy. He could intimidate subordinates but he chooses to inspire them and support them. Until Ben Sisko, I thought no one would ever match Picard for dignity. We also see what kind of officer Nog will turn out to be--a support to an aging Picard. It's really ironic how Sisko though he'd be a bad influence on son Jake when they were kids, but he never considered the other side of the coin--how Jake would be a positive influence on Nog (Quark: "You're beginning to think like a hew-mon!"). This is the kind of saga the Reeves-Stevenses would normally do outside the Trek universe, but they chose to put it here. Here's a warning, though. Neither this book (nor its two following volumes) can be read as complete stories--there are cliff-hanger endings on the first two. So you've got to get them all. That's okay--it'll be worth it. If I'm lyin', I'm dyin', know what I mean.

Summary: Overall good, but a little slow
Review: Fall of Terok Nor was a good, but not great, first book of the whole Millenium Saga. My main complaint is that not much happens over the course of 400 pages. While what does happen is well thought out and interesting, it takes a long time to happen. Sometimes this is good -- we get interesting views, theories, etc., but sometimes it's the opposite. At times, it seemed the authors needed to prove that they know everything about Star Trek, and have to write in unnecessary detail about things past. Fortunately, this was pretty good. It's about time that ST writers have done what they should've done long ago -- go above and beyond. It hasn't happened yet in other series, but DS9 finally is beginning to write books that aren't just episodic entries, but add to and enhance the big picture. Books are also getting longer, with more detail and better writing. Keep it up DS9. As long as it was, this book was a very quick read, and all of the characterisations were quite good. While not the best of the Star Trek books, I am sufficiently motivated to read the other books in the trilogy and play the forthcoming game based upon them, The Fallen.

Summary: Impressive Start
Review: I don't as a rule read Star Trek books. Too often I've felt that the slower pace of a novel takes too much action away from what is, after all, an episodic TV series. But Deep Space Nine was different in that it was a highly serialized TV show, and the experience was more like "watching" a long novel, one that took seven years to read. So, with some trepidation, I picked up the first book of the "Millenium" series, "The Fall of Terok Nor". I read the entire thing in two sittings. For the most part, the book definitely captured the characters and their relationships very well, and the plot (a basic whodunit) moves along at a good clip for a 400-page novel. And the cliffhanger ending, which I won't spoil for you here, makes me thankful that the first and second volumes of the trilogy were published simultaneously. Covering a time span reaching back before the pilot episode of the show forward to 25 years into Star Trek's future, the novel begins to set up a plot of epic proportions. From Odo's, Quark's, and Garak's "missing memories" from the Day of Withdrawal, to the mysterious Red Orbs, this trilogy begins to link together certain events that actually took place during the show's run in a satisfying way, enriching the already-deep history the TV series established. While Kira, I felt, was horribly underutilized (she *is* the second in command, after all), the characterizations drawn of Jake Sisko, and especially Dr. Julian Bashir were well done; all the rough edges and shoulder-chips the characters have also come through clearly. A final confrontation (a running joke about "waste extraction" in the TV series is taken to a gross extreme when the showdown with the bad guys takes place in DS9's sewage treatment facility) runs on a bit too long, and the cast of characters gets a bit unwieldy, but overall this first volume of "Millenium" shows promise for more interesting developments to come. I certainly was surprised I enjoyed the book as much as I did.

Summary: Fall Of Terrok Nor...What A Book!
Review: I have been a Star Trek fan for a very long time. When I read this book I was taken right away with the story. The Authors of the book captured each character's personalities and mannerism's very well in my opinion. I liked that there were several different mysteries happening at once and that they they were somehow all connected to one big puzzle. This would be for any fan of Star Trek who enjoys reading the novels. I would recommend this book to all! I Hope that Books Two and Three are just as excellent as this one was!

Summary: Cliff hanger Glory
Review: I know what I like, and this I don't like, I LOVE. This is one of the best books written on Deep Space 9 ever. Although in some parts more and more plot entanglements come into play and you don't think that they are going to get through all of it in three books. Many things are explained to a certain extent but I did find several errors compared to the TV series. At the end of this book it leaves you with confusion and a huge cliff hanger, but it also makes you think about how Sisko will manage. This is why I have bought the other two as well. Amazon should use the transporter to get me the books right away!
