Patience is a time honored virtue,
By
This review is from: Rebels: The Conquered (Mass Market Paperback)
As stated in the title of this review, patience IS a time honored virtue. I found myself almost ready to put this book back on the shelf and forget about the other two as well. This is somewhat like a "Clancy" novel where you have to trudge through some of the minutia to get to the good stuff which is in the second and third books. I found the second and third books to be very insightful and an extreme joy to read, and in keeping with the authors style of good writing. In a way, this is no different than a single novel where it starts off slow and finishes very fast. Pocket books should've put this out in hardback as a single novel, however, sinced KW Jeter's "Warped" fiasco, they've steered clear from DS9 hardbacks. I would definitely recommend this small trilogy to any true trek fan.

Very disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rebels: The Conquered (Mass Market Paperback)
This is about the most disappointing DS9 or Trek book I've ever read. I'm afraid this author got famous writing game books and it shows here -- he acts like characters don't have background.I'd leave anything with is name on it on the shelf. Go read Uruhu's Song again instead of anything by him.

"The Conquered" doesn't put up much of a fight,
By
This review is from: Rebels: The Conquered (Mass Market Paperback)
THE PLOT:This is the first of a 3-book series dealing with a time when Bajor takes over the station for a trial period of 60 days. Kai Winn is in command, and her past is revealed through a series of flashbacks to the Occupation and her actions to help the resistance. Worf, Sisko, O'Brien, Quark and Odo are stranded on a planet where all the citizens have advanced technology that has reduced them to a complete dependency relationship. Renegade Cardassians have invaded the planet and have no trouble picking off the inhabitants -- all they have to do is cut the power to the technology. Dax and Bashir are also on the planet in a different environment. WHAT I LIKED: Dax and Bashir's trials and tribulations aren't bad and there is interesting interplay with some cadets. WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Kai Winn's character comes off far too "mature" for the period, and belies the changes when she actually reached power. Major Kira's character is barely fleshed out, and mostly appears as a caricature of her future self. None of the four stranded characters are worth reading about here, and are pale imitations of the real characters on the series. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Conquered indeed are defeated and the book doesn't put up much of a fight to be interesting: 2.00 lilypads out of 5.00 Other information: * Source: New * Original date of review: 2001, updated 2011 * Format Reviewed: Softcover * Series: Star Trek / Rebels Trilogy / Deep Space 9 / Order: 01 (Rebels), 024 (DS9) * Tags: Action, Adventure, Deep Space 9, Fiction, Rebels, Sci-Fi, Star Trek
