From the Publisher
Commander Benjamin Sisko is just recovering from the death of his wife when he is assigned command over the former Cardassian, but new Federation space station, Deep Space NineTM. This space station is strategically located not only because of its orbit about Bajor, but also because of its proximity to the only known stable wormhole in the galaxy. After meeting the other Bajoran and Starfleet personnel assigned to the station, including a former Bajoran freedom fighter and a shapeshifter, Sisko finds himself in that very wormhole and in the midst of a metaphysical experience as the alien inhabitants of the wormhole question the concepts of time and love. Sisko, filled with humanistic hubris, begins to explain these experiences, and resolve his painful past. END

The novelization loses something from the TV show,
By
This review is from: Emissary: Star Trek, Deep Space Nine (Audio Cassette)
Deep Space Nine is a space station orbiting the planet of Bajor. The Federation is taking over from the departing Cardassians and have sent Benjamin Sisco to run it. Sisco brings along the baggage of still grieving his dead wife and trying to raise his son alone. His crew include Star Fleet officers, a Bajoran major and a shape shifter. Not long after arriving he discovers nearby the only known stable wormhole. With it, ships can travel to and from the Gamma quadrant, 70,000 light years, in a matter of seconds. However, the wormhole was constructed and is inhabited by a race of beings who may not want other races using it.
This was the first episode of the TV series Deep Space Nine and I remember enjoying it when it was on. The novelization isn't bad, but some of the energy of the story and the actors is lost on the page. Nana Visitor, who played the Bajoran major on the series, reads the novel here and does a nice job changing voices for each character, which can't be easy to do. She's dramatic and forceful when she needs to be, but not overly so.
