#234: Armageddon Sky (DS9, Day of Honor #2)

In today’s episode, when the Klingons shoot down a science yacht in the Demilitarized Zone, it gets everyone wondering what they’re keeping a lid on over there. But the exiles on the planet below demand nothing less in exchange for the survivors than the total rerouting of nature’s course. When are Julian’s genetic enhancements a disadvantage? Would Klingons dig post-rock? And what new words did you learn today? All this and more in Armageddon Sky, the book with an uncredited cameo!

#232: Legends of the Ferengi (DS9, misc.)

In today’s episode, Quark is back to shill some more useless bathroom-library fodder, and this time he’s decided two showrunners are better than one. But this may be a case where less turns out to be more. What are the best word game rules? Which parts of the 90s are better off left behind? And why did I have to pay so much money for this? All this and more in Legends of the Ferengi, the book that’s actually an Excellent on the Quark scale.

#225: Space Camp (DS9 YA #10)

In today’s episode, when Jake and Nog go to Starfleet Academy Teaser Week, they both get struck by the same arrow of love. But when Nog’s spycam triggers an ancient bomb, they’ll have to put their enmity aside to keep the camp from becoming a crater. Is Jake cut out for Starfleet? Is it worse to be slightly capable than not at all? And does anyone read character names out loud before these things go to press? All this and more in Space Camp, the book that isn’t all that spacey or campy.

#221: Wrath of the Prophets (DS9 #20)

Spoiler level in this review: somewhat heavy.

In today’s episode, when a Bajoran leader turns to the black market for solutions, her refurbished replicators come with an unwanted extra. But when a certain well-known Maquis makes an offer Sisko can’t refuse, the station’s snark levels threaten to reach critical mass. Is this town big enough for two strong-willed Bajoran women? Why is Dax spacing out all the time? And don’t you hate it when Kai Winn is right? All this and more in Wrath of the Prophets, the book that pours kerosene on the “O’Brien is the worst husband ever” fire.

#217: Cardassian Imps (DS9 YA #9)

In today’s episode, when Jake and Nog find a self-replicating action figure in the basement, their many little Moops soon turn into one big Oops. Meanwhile, upstairs, a strange gold dust is draining power and clogging the A/C faster than O’Brien can change the filters. Is there actually a such thing as an inherently funny word? What’s undog? And who can honestly say they’re not interested in Garak’s childhood? All this and more in Cardassian Imps, the book that will never win a Dove Award.
