Check out that cover blurb: “THE ULTRA-POWERED NOVEL OF A TELEPATHIC SPACE TERROR,” eh?
I’ll be the judge of that, Mr. Bantam blurb dude from the mid-’70s.
Book Trek: “Deep Space Nine: The Siege” by Peter David
by Honk Mahfah on Jul.09, 2009, under Literary, Miscellaneous, Star Trek
Here’s a bit of analysis of the first original Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel, 1993′s “The Siege” by Peter David. This, of course, is not to be confused with the second-season episode of the same name.
The story deals with the station having to cease activity with the wormhole due to technobabble, and also having to deal with a serial killer who has set up shop on the station and is claiming victims with no apparent rhyme or reason. All of this leads to Odo discovering a link — pun intended — to his mysterious past.

Which is, in my opinion, a good thing; that opinion might have something to do with the reason why I’m not reviewing the fourth novel in the series.

by Honk Mahfah on Jun.01, 2009, under Literary, Star Trek
This is the first review in what I hope will be a long-running series looking back at the many original Star Trek novels. Up first: Diane Carey’s Ghost Ship, the 1988 novel that debuted the Pocket Books line of originals based on The Next Generation.
