This was the only time that Trek did a multi-season arc focusing on the Federation becoming embroiled in all-out war and it made for a very different feel to the tone of Trek in general and I, for one, found it to be a welcome change of pace.Īll that said, I'm totally aware that my enjoyment of this book was completely based on nostalgia. It took me right back into that feeling of desperate tension I had waiting to see how the next phase of the war against the Dominion would unfold week by week. This meant that, for me, reading this book was like reconnecting with old friends. I've always loved Trek, but I haven't watched the episodes of DS9 this book adapts since they first aired in the UK in the late 90s. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but that's not to say that it's a particularly good one. Captain Sisko begins putting together a plan to take the fight to the enemy but is forced to dangerously accelerate his plans when it seems that Gul Dukat is on the verge of reopening the wormhole and getting Dominion reinforcements.
The Federation has been forced to abandon Deep Space Nine and finds itself on the back foot in fighting against the forces of the Dominion. The fourth and final Dominion War book, which novelises episodes of the sixth season of DS9.
