the only Cardassian on Deep Space NineTM, suggests a
trip to the unknown depths of Level 45, they're ready to go. When they arrive on the
musty, abandoned deck, they find a funny Cardassian toy that says "Moop" when activated.
And then they discover the replicator button on the toy. Perfect! They can replicate enough
"Moops" for a baseball game. But suddenly the figures that stand before them are as tall
as Nog - and they're replicating themselves!

This review is from: Cardassian Imps (Star Trek Deep Space Nine) (Paperback)

I have read most of the DS9 books for youth and found them to be lacking (not terrible, but definately lacking). This book is the exception. It is better written and has a great mystery-feeling to it. You keep reading it a quest to discover the answer to the mystery. The conclusion is realistic. By far the most creative of the DS9 youth books as well. Recommended for young fans of Star Trek.
