This was the first DS9 original story novel, and was written when only a few episodes were out. Keiko and Miles' relationship has uncomfortable language about Asian women and minor racism, and Keiko's characterization is unlike the show and she is shown to be less fun and less understanding. The way Captain Sisko was written also let me down. The writing isn't great and reads more like a goofy fanfic. It has fight scenes with Odo and a shapeshifter that are goofy in a cartoon way. It doesn't do the characters justice.

This was unquestionably the worst Star Dreck book I ever read during my time as a Star Dreck fan. It's sleazy, tasteless and extremely violent. One more reason to consider Peter David a highly overrated writer.

On top of everything else, David obnoxiously inserts a brief and completely pointless cameo by the Borg: a cube tries to travel through the wormhole from the Gamma Quadrant, but the wormhole destroys it and only its debris makes it through. It serves no purpose but to make readers more interested.

A strong candidate for worst book I ever read of any kind.

it took me a lot longer than i would have hoped to finally finish it. but for my first ds9 novel I was quite impressed. Since my reading was sporadic my memory of The whole story is a little jumbled but when i did get the chance to really get down into it. I didn't want to put it down. Odo and Sisko and by far my favourite ds9 characters but if you know me this should come as no surprise.
