Customer Reviews

Darn good!

This is one of the Star Trek novels which I've read many times. Worf is one of my favorite characters and John G. Betancourt handles him quite well. The Dominion was still largely unexplored at the time, except for the basics--Jem'Hadar are overly aggressive and worship the Founders. This is a great addition to the Dominion War backstory.

DARN GOOD BOOK

I HAVE READ APP. 50 OR 60 TREK BOOKS AND THIS BOOK IS PROBABLY THE BEST BOOK OF ALL OF THEM. I LOOK FOR BETANCOURT'S BOOKS WHEN I GO SHOPPING. THANKS TO THE AUTHOR FOR SUCH A GOOD BOOK

The first Star Trek DS9 novel with Worf.

As you have read above, Mr. Betancourt considers this to be a fine example of Star Trek fiction. Having Worf join DS9 was the biggest event in DS9 for several years, and truly gave the show another dimension. The Heart of the Warrior is an introduction to the new environment of DS9 with Worf. The story itself has a concise plot line that involves only a few of the characters. Heart is very similar to some of the Star Trek episodes which focus on a particular character, Thus, Heart will be acceptable to most Star Trek readers.
