Customer Reviews

Closure, at last!

This book is a very good novelization of the final days of DS9, the TV series. The last few episodes went by so fast. I loved the series more than I realized. I was much more deeply invested in the characters than I ever realized. This book let you experience the final acts and decisions in an extended time frame -- the last episode of the TV show just went too fast to allow complete understanding and acceptance of its finality. This book gave extra insight into the feelings and motivations of all the charcters in their final DS9 days. I loved the book and didn't want it to end.

What a spectacular novel

A great novel, a great adventure.Diane Carey did make the finale feel and look a wonderful classic Star Trek. I mean she did give more than a nice touch to the ending of DS9. After all, no author who can write novelization better than Diane Carey.

Perfect for the DS9 fan!

This book is essentially a transcript of the final 2-hour episode... which was nice to revisit in written form. The touching goodbyes made me teary-eyed as ever. If you are like me and really miss the best Trek show, pick this up as a souvenir, you won't be sorry.

It's excellent!

It was an excellent book! I couldn't put it down. I finished it in a day. Then I read it again. I was disappointed when I saw the episode because the book expanded and explained more. It talked more about how the people felt before they left for the final battle, the Cardassian Resistsance, and why the Female Shapeshifter stood down. I really liked how the author described the battle scenes. I thought the ending was good too because it showed Kira watching all her firends leave. I reccomend this book to all Star Trek fans

A Masterpiece

This novelization of the final epiode of DS9 is fantastic. The characters are represented well, and we finally see the inevitable fate of Bajor, DS9, Cardassia, and etc. It is truly a masterpiece, and I hate it that the tv series had to the end, but "all good things. . ." I believe all DS9 fans will love this novel, and perhaps even cry.
