Product Description
The Dominion War has been over for a year, but its legacy lives on. Commander Sonya Gomez, former Starship Enterprise™ engineer, and her crack Starfleet Corps of Engineers team on the U.S.S. da Vinci find themselves dealing with many permutations of that legacy.
Two mysterious murders on the da Vinci lead to the Gamma Quadrant and a Dominion base. A pre-warp planet occupied by the Dominion still has scars from both sides of that conflict. Plus Gomez, computer expert Soloman, and Security Chief Corsi are haunted by demons from their past.
But the greatest threat of all comes from a visit to Deep Space 9™. A fissure has opened up between realities, endangering the very existence of the Bajoran system -- and also stranding Doctors Lense and Bashir on a war-torn planet from which they may never escape.

Boldly going where no one has gone before., Dec 22 2008
By Adrian - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Trek: Corps of Engineers: Wounds (Paperback)
This was an action packed book, filled with imaginative, yet dangerous and intense scenarios. One thing's for sure. The SCE has a high body count.
Although the SCE is not "canon", and is not as popular as the mainstream Original series and TNG series of books, it is truer to one of the basic premises of Star Trek- To boldly go where no one has gone before.
Lately, the normal Star Trek books seems to be all about the Borg, and occasianlly Q.
The SCE, in contrast, have imaginative stories in every book. It's as if the publishers have given the authors a free pass to let their imaiginations go wild, within the Star Trek universe, and sometimes outside the universe (readers will understand what I mean).
This one pulled no punches, and the crew of the SCE aboard the USS Da Vinci mixed nicely with that of Deep Space 9 in several adventures.
All in all, a very good series of short stories, all of which will have you rivited, both due to the action and the character developments.

Excellent collection, SUPERB final story, Sep 15 2011
By James Yanni - Published on Amazon.com
This is a fine collection of short stories, each focusing on the "Corps of Engineers", a group within Starfleet specializing in solving technical problems that have stumped the "normal" run of starship engineers. The only quibble that I have, and the reason that I've only rated the book as a whole at four stars rather than five, is that unlike in most of this series so far, the continuity between stories is a bit choppy; one story does not always smootly lead into the next, but instead the epilogue to one story may occur AFTER the events of the next story. This was a bit confusing, and also spoiled a bit of the tension in the next story (we would know, for example, if certain characters survived if they were seen in the epilogue of the previous story, AFTER this one ended) but it was a relatively minor problem. And certainly, the final offering, from which the entire collection draws its name (Wounds) is by far the best-written, most powerfully moving Star Trek story that I've read in a long time, possibly ever. That story by itself was worth buying and reading the book for.

Enjoyable anthology, April 14 2010
By J. Craig - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Trek: Corps of Engineers: Wounds (Paperback)
Every story is a well-written, the tone is decidedly darker than is typical for Star Trek. The humor level is much lower than in most Next Generation novels. If you like the S.C.E. novels in general, you should enjoy all the stories in this book.
