7. Star Trek, The Dominion War: Book One

I started reading this book as a lark. After looking for some other books in the boxes and boxes of books we have stowed away, I found Books 1-3 of this series. Since we've just started watching Star Trek Deep Space Nine from the beginning of the series, I pulled these books out. (The Dominion War was the climactic story line of the DS9 series.) Then one night, a couple days ago as a lark I started reading book one ... and I was hooked. It was very well paced and well-plotted. The story revolves around what the Enterprise crew was doing during the Dominion War. There are four plot strands that the story switches back and forth between and they are all interesting. Ensign Ro, Data and Riker are the highlights for me.

I recommend the book for any Star Trek nerds. At night I found myself annoyed when my roommates wanted me to put down the book and watch an episode of Star Trek--even when the book was written after the TV episode, the book, in this case, is still more satisfying.
