There were parts of this book I liked, and others I did not. The beginning of book dragged a little, but it was explaining in parts things that had happened over the intervening two years, and also describing the new DS9, but then the action heated up, and it stopped dragging. I felt the content of the climax of the book was unnecessary, and it could have been handled another way. I am still looking forward to the next in the series. As with most David R. George III books, this was really hit and miss. George likes long, evocative description and character introspection, often to the point where the book drags to a halt and then needs some big event to get going again.You get a huge amount of description of the new Deep Space Nine, a lot of characters thinking about what's happened the last two years, and a glacial pace that suddenly bursts into the big event of the novel about 60-65% of the way into the book.And it ends with a bit of a cliffhanger that I'm not sure how much of which will be resolved in "The Fall" series, since future books aren't DS9-specific. They'll feature other characters. We may have to wait until the next DS9 book to see what happens.I ended the book very unfulfilled.That big event, though? That's a whopper.
What do You think about Revelation And Dust (2013)?
Loved it! Great start to a new Trek event. Anything involving the Prophets is right up my alley! :-)

Boring. Too many characters. Lots of bad writing of the kind "Ro knew she had to...."
