Rating: Summary: DS9 #6 Betrayal - An interesting plot! Review: "Betrayal" is the one and only Star Trek effort from this author, at least to date. I find this to be somewhat disappointing as the author did a rather decent job with the plot development and characterizations. I found her writing style to be quite decent and the pacing of the novel to be reasonably engaging. The plot for this story is very interesting and compelling.The cover art for this title is reasonably decent, yet standard fare for the time in which this novel was published. The premise: Deep Space Nine is the staging ground for a conference in which ambassadors from all over the Federation have assembled to determine the future of Bajor. As the stations personnel are having an already difficult time keeping all of these ambassadors happy, terrorist start blowing parts of the station, leaving Sisko and Odo the difficult task of trying to find and stop these ruthless terrorists. To make matters worse, a new Cardassian Gul shows up demanding the return of Deep Space Nine to the Cardassian Union. Commander Sisko must now diffuse this entire situation that threatens the very existence of Bajor. What follows is a rather decent early Deep Space Nine story that is told fairly well and I would recommend this novel to any and all fans of the genre. {ssintrepid}

Rating: Summary: Slow start Review: After you force yourself past the first 3 to 4 chapters, this book becomes a page turner. You will find youself lost within the intricacies of the cardassian deserter, and his road to escape from the brutal gul marak. The sub plot of this book is not apparent at first, but becomes more clear as the pages turn. You will get through chapters 6 through 23 in about 1 day if you read like i do. They grip you. I do recommend this novel to any star trek deep space nine fan who is looking for more details about the cardassian empire and the relations that bajor's new provisional government has with other secondary federation worlds.

Rating: Summary: A bad follow up to other books Review: Again the books were lost. Cardassian focus. Mixed crisises. Focus on a character that hadn't bene focused on in a book yet seemed to be the choice but in the end that didn't necessary mean it was a hood thing.

Rating: Summary: Slowwwwwwww & where is Dax and others? Review: I have to admit: I did not finish this book. The writer went too much into the minds of the characters and didn't do much with plot development or action. Plus, because she uses so few of the available characters, she gives away her "bad guy" and the "plot" after the fifth chapter. Good story, bad ST writer.

Rating: Summary: Not bad...but not good either Review: It actually wasn't bad, and I suggest it to people who like Deep Space Nine. It'll keep your attention, I promise you that.
