Product Description
Before the Dominion War and the decimation of Cardassia...before the coming of the Emissary and the discovery of the wormhole...before space station Terok Nor became Deep Space 9™...there was the Occupation: the military takeover of an alien planet and the violent insurgency that fought against it. Now that fifty-year tale of warring ideologies, terrorism, greed, secret intelligence, moral compromises, and embattled faiths is at last given its due in the three-book saga of Star Trek's Lost Era...
Eighteen years into the Occupation, a new star rises in Bajor's sky. It is the seat of power in this system, a place of slave labor and harsh summary judgments, the symbol of Cardassian might and the futility of resisting it. But even as the gray metal crown of Terok Nor ascends to its zenith, ragtag pockets of Bajoran rebels -- including a fierce young fighter named Kira Nerys -- have begun to strike back at their world's oppressors, and they intend to show the Cardassians that the night belongs to them.

Great Entry in the Series, May 17 2008
By Josh Hagy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Terok Nor: Night of the Wolves (Mass Market Paperback)
This series just keeps getting better. Seeing the Occupation of Bajor is fascinating, especially as we follow Opaka Sulan's surprising spiritual "rebellion" of sorts and continue to see the Cardassian manipulation of Bajor's religion. From the cover, I expected Kira Nerys to play a much greater role, but the novel focuses more on the exploits of a few previously unknown characters and some old favorites. We get a glimpse of Dukat as prefect of Bajor and his right hand Cardassian, Damar, as they struggle to deal with the problems posed by the resistance as well as the intricacies of Cardassian politics. We also get a to see the discovery of Odo, which is done in a surprising way that, to me, fits right in with the feel of DS9. This is a very good second novel in the series and it leaves me looking forward to the third.

The Plot Thickens..., Jun 2 2008
By William H. Kelsey "seeker of truth" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Terok Nor: Night of the Wolves (Mass Market Paperback)
The second book in the Occupation of Bajor series is set twenty years after the Cardassians had first arrived on the planet. Bajor is now completely (except for pockets of resistence fighters) annexed and conquered by the Cardassians, and we see how Dukat (now a Gul) became Prefect and overlord of the Bajoran people. We also met several familiar characters for the first time: Damar (Gul Dukat's right hamd man), the future Kai Opaka (it's a very interesting backstory about how her teachings led to a schism in the Bajor faith and about how the people gradually abandoned the rigid D'Jarra system), Ro Laren (whom viewers will remember as the first Bajoran introduced to Trek fans via The Next Generation), Odo (we get to see his early days in a Cardassian-Bajoran lab and the development of his shapeshifting skills and personality), Winn (as obnoxious and arrogant in the beginning as she was in her reign as Kai), and finally, Kira Nerys, a very young freedom fighter who has a bloodlust for destroying the Cardassians over the fate of her mother. All of the characters' stories are interwoven well, the writing is top notch and exciting, and this book leaves the reader dying to get to the next. The subject of this book is the evolution of the occupation and the erosion of Gul Dukat's promises and attitude concerning the Bajorans. This is an excellent book, but it is even better if it is read immediately after completing the first (Day of the Vipers) in the series. I can't wait to read Book Three. Happy Reading!

Wonderful leadup to DS9, Aug 29 2008
By William P. Taylor - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Terok Nor: Night of the Wolves (Mass Market Paperback)
The book series made me want to watch DS9 again. The author obviously did much research. Just about anything that was alluded to have happened "during the occupation" in the series is hashed out in this book series.
Listmania!
