Product Description

What begins as a sticky political problem soon evolves into full-scale chaos for Commander Sisko when a tomb of Cardassian soldiers is discovered on Deep Space Nine ™. While Sisko searches for a diplomatic way to return the soldiers to Cardassia, the "bodies" begin to pulsate with life, determined to seek revenge on the enemies now occupying the former Cardassian stronghold.

But as the soldiers launch their attack to cripple the station, and Sisko struggles to regain control, another old enemy plots to destroy the soldiers at any cost -- even if it means destroying Deep Space Nine as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of action and surprising depth, Jan 16 2004

By	R. Spottiswood (Western Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a book with a lot of combat, hand to hand and ship to ship. The descriptions, in general and of the action specifically, are good and quite vivid. The character interaction is very good. The characterisation and writing in general are good but a bit odd. The actions and behaviour of the characters fit, but the dialogue and internal thinking are not how the DS9 crew talk. It's not overdone in this particular book, but noteworthy. There are also odd little mistakes, like the Infirmary supposedly not being on the Promenade. That all aside, the action in this book is well thought out, both in terms of writing and in terms of planning and execution by the characters. It is a real battle of minds between Sisko and the leader of the station's invaders. This is a great action book and with more depth than one would expect.

5.0 out of 5 stars DS9 #13 Station Rage - An excellent DS9 novel!, Nov 30 2003

By	K. Wyatt "ssintrepid" (St. Louis, MO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Station Rage" is author Diane Carey's first original Deep Space Nine story and it is most certainly one of her best Star Trek stories ever. Even more than usual with one of her stories, I found myself amazed with how well designed the plot and overall premise of this story was setup and executed. As is usual with one of her better stories, the characterizations and pacing for this incredible early DS9 tale are beyond reproach.

The cover art for this great story and the story itself aren't quite in synch, which only goes to reproving some of the difficulties the fiction writers had when trying to keep up with the fast paced series and its constant shifting and changing. The cover art itself isn't all that interesting, but the fact that it shows Sisko as he was during the early seasons, with hair and the rank of Commander is in direct contradiction with the story where he's a Captain.

The premise:

As was usual for O'Brien during the early years of the series, he and Odo are exploring through some of the less traveled areas of the space station and they soon discover a cache of Cardassians. The Cardassians come back to life and start causing major problems for the Starfleet and Bajoran crews. Finding the situation untenable, Captain Sisko attempts to handle the situation diplomatically, but soon finds that impossible.

What follows from there is most certainly one of Diane Carey's best Trek stories and one of the best early Star Trek Deep Space Nine stories that I would highly recommend to any and all fans of Star Trek fiction! {ssintrepid}

4.0 out of 5 stars Good concept, Mar 11 2003

By	Omni (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

The concept of soldiers hidden within DS9 coming to life and emobodying an age old rage is original and makes the book stronger than most of the series lot.
What I did appreciate about this book is Diane Carey's work, she is one of the better Star Trek writers because her books tend to be more thoughtful and drawn on.
I recommend this book for the on target characterization it has as well as the strong writing. Sisko really comes to life on these pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book
This is one the better DS9 books. Particularly if you like The Cardassians and my personal favorite charecter Garak the tailor/spy.

3.0 out of 5 stars I was expecting a "boogy-man-around-the-corner" book.
To tell the truth, what I wanted in in this book was something like the episode "Empak Nor" with mindless Cardassian creepies always around the corners. Read more
