 Mon Dec 22, 2003 5:41 pm DS9 Unity? |
|
Anyone got the new DS9 relaunch book "Unity" yet? I'm in two minds whether to get it so if anyone can recommend it, it would be appreciated.
Thanks all.

I could ruin it for you, but I won't. S.D. Perry ties up all the loose ends in the DS9 universe in this book. DEFINITELY worth getting. I can't wait for the new books "Worlds of DS9" coming out later in 2004.

I got it for Christmas. I almost don't want to read it.....you know how they say "Having is not so nice a thing as wanting"?
Anyway, this is an "Event" book.

It arrived this morning. We were all out and the Post Lady decided that rather than take it back to the Post Office for safe-keeping, she'd hide it in the trailer. Which just so happens to be full of hedge from the garden that we'd trimmed the other day. She left a message "Amazon package inside trailer"...grrrr...there I was getting covered in leaves and bugs n stuff to find it. Lol, quite funny.
Anyways, only just started the book. I like how they put in a "history of the relaunch" at the beginning - I hadn't read Rising Son or the Klingon duology so it was nice to have it explained what happened in those.

Delta Flyer, go send me a PM when you're done and tell me if the book did Captain Sisko's return Justice. I won't be able to read it if it doesn't, although the fact the Books aren't Canon annoys me even more especially with the Slim chance of a Ds9 Movie

Lol, ok no problem. So far so good, though he isn't back yet.
I hope it doesn't just happen on the last couple of pages...

I finished it!
POTENTIAL SPOILERS

Not bad but seemed a little slow in places. Excellent storyline though; tied up alot of the plots already established and I liked the slightly ominous ending with Sisko having been sent for a purpose rather than just him coming back for the fun of it.
Thought Quark becoming Ambassador was a bit daft but there you go. Also, it seemed a little odd that all the "old-timers" returned at once...
