Rating: Summary: Good writing salvages mediocre story. Review: This could very easily have degenerated into a cookiecutter DS9 story; all the standard elements were there: Bajoran terrorists from Kira's past, treacherous Cardassians, a threat to the existence of the station and the future of Bajor, scheming, greedy Ferrengi, and an overworked Sisko regretting that he hasn't time to spend with his son. There were a couple of new twists, such as a sympathetic look at a Cardassian, and we were missing the requisite appearance by the Prophets, but for the most part, there was nothing really new here.Still, the writing was good enough to overcome that, at least for the most part. The story was a good read in spite of itself, and the characters were mostly well-handled, although Odo seemed a bit more cardboard than usual. If you're looking for a novel and different DS9 plot, don't look for it here. But if you're looking for a competently executed rehashing of all the standard elements that make DS9 what it is, this is a fine example of the genre.
Rating: Summary: Great action!!! Review: This was the best DS9 book I ever read. It has a lot of action and mystery in it. I couldn't put it down. I would recommend it to all Star Trek fans. This book was unlike the usual DS9 where it is more concerned about community. "Betrayal" was concerned more with who's betraying and who should people suspect. It is definitely my favourite DS9 book.

Rating: Summary: I thought it was good Review: While the best Deep Space Nine book in my opinion is still "Fallen Heros", "Betrayal" also has its moments. Not for any specific plot reasons but its nice to see a book where Jake Sisko is not the dull eyed preadolsent and actually does something to contribute.
