The Lives of Dax by Marco Palmieri

3.0

I loved visiting with a few favorite DS9 characters and learning more about the Dax character. Having different writers tell the various Dax story helps give each Dax character their own voice.

That said, every so often the writing would clunk. The emotions would be overdone, the explanation too given by a character too obvious ("As you know..."), the foreshadowing blatant. Unfortunately, the closing paragraphs of the book displayed that daytime-soap-opera, arch tone and it's stayed with me since finishing the book, which dampens the whole book.
