“A good continuation to the Deep Space Nine series. I say good when the geek in me wants to say great, but unfortunately I have to say the last author in the book, Kieth R. A. DeCandido, is not the strongest of the bunch and he takes up the last 3rd of the book. The first too book in this collection are excellent, and manage to capture entirely the personalities of the character as well as the flavor of the world. The second book is my favorite as it focuses around Bashir and another genetically enhanced human. It may be that the plot of the last book is not my exact cup of tea, as it focuses around dealing with a planetary disaster. But I just don't think that DeCandido captures the personalities of the characters well, especially Kira Nerys. Under DeCandido's pen, Nerys seems to revert from tough resistance fighter turned station commander, into just unsure normal person. Now don't get me wrong, I know that she is just a normal person underneath it all but she is more than that as well. I think of it as the way I think of Frank Herbert's "Dune", tough people for tough times. Nerys is tough, and I don't want to see her soft, or at least not so soft she seems "not tough". I don't know how else to describe it. Read the book for yourself if you loved the tv series, because it is a good continuation and I can't wait to read the next collection. But DeCandido pulls the overall quallity of the book down from excellent to just good. ”
