I'm suprised to see that so many people hated this book so much I thought it was very enjoyable. I hate how Worf isn't in a lot of the TNG books so I loved that he had a good part in this one. I was kinda shocked that the cover of the book didn't mention anything about Captain Sisko and training the Tenakis at all. Kai Winn's portion of the story was very brief and that was all that was advertised. The book revolves around Captain Sisko and most of the major characters on DS9 going on a mission the a foreign planet leaving Kira behind to help manage Kai Winn who is on a 60 day trial of command of the station. The team finds a race of people who use special "tech" to get around their daily lives. But attacking people know how to cut off the tech so the crew has to teach the people how to fight. I dunno where the story is headed but it's going to be a tough one to pull off for the team.
Patience is a time honored virtue

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.
Great Book!

The Rebels Trilogy was a great edtion to the Star Trek Universe and I think it was a great series. I liked hearing more about Kai Winn and here life during Cardassian Rule. I also Think that Daffyd Ad Hugh is a great writer and has done well with most of his Star Trek books!
