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.
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.
In today’s episode, when Miles steals cable from Ops to keep Keiko entertained during a plasma storm, her armchair prognostications earn her a shot at the big-time. But when Dax starts tripping the light fantastic, it’s up to Keiko to find an exit ramp that will take them off the loop. Can Worf put the cat back in the bag? Was Miles born for the stage? And is Odo better at taking care of Molly than Miles is? All this and more in The Tempest, the book that’s probably Shakespeare?
In today’s episode, Sisko’s recent jaunt into the past gets his time card audited, and he’ll have to convince Agents Dulmer and Lucsly that he and his crew didn’t do anything to signficantly alter the timeline. Is Florida still the prime retirement destination in the future? Did Forrest Gump change Ira Steven Behr’s life? And how often does Diane Carey think about butts? All this and more in Trials and Tribble-ations, the book that breaks new ground in introductory self-indulgence.
In today’s episode, Sisko and his old chums head to Mars to celebrate a new version of their old ship, but one of them has a dangerous detour in mind. Meanwhile, Quark tries to do Kira a favor, but when he gets waylaid by Ferengi chicken pox, it’ll be up to Odo to close the sale. Can he pass Rom’s pop quiz? Does the counselor need a counselor? And why do some Star Trek authors choose their worst material to rehash? All this and more in Saratoga, the book where the fake culprit is more shocking than the real one.
