5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Trek books in years,
By
This review is from: Inferno (Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Millennium Book 3 of 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Well, that was a fun ride. This trilogy is the best Trek prose story in years. Please let the Reeves-Stevens write more Trek. This trilogy feels much more "epic" in scope than most Trek series, even the other multi-book series. The multiple time jumps are quite a feat of editing, and the way everything finally falls together reminded me a bit of the end of Back to the Future II. The writers and characters do a wonderful, dizzying tap dance around past events, creating a nice interlocking puzzle that must be unravelled. If you've been avoiding the Trek books due to the feeling that they were getting repetitive, give these a try. If you've been following them all along, be prepared for a wake-up call. MILLENIUM raises the bar on what Pocket should be publishing from now on.

This review is from: Inferno (Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Millennium Book 3 of 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
...but it eventually settles down to the inspired level of the first two. But, as Meatloaf put it; "Two out of three ain't bad". One of the most powerful characters throughout the series is a "secular" Bajoran Starfleet officer (she grew up on a newer colony without much "old world" influence) becomes in this volume a religious fanatic who gets brainwashed into a breakaway sect whose "emmisary" is a Weyoun clone (! ). Another feature is Jake Sisko's opportunity to play a real adult role rather than Ben's kid. Odo is just, well...Odo. The type of dude you can always count on. I'm not going to give away any more of the story--with a tale this big, you can give the ending away a lot earlier than with just one book. But here's a warning--you can't just buy this book and come away satisfied--you gotta get the other two. Hell, buy all three at once, it's worth the 16 bucks and will save you on shipping. The Reeves-Stevens household has apparently decided to take the "lightweight" out of Trek fiction and I hope it becomes a habit. As well as rubbing off on other Trek authors.

The Return to the Beginning,
By
This review is from: Inferno (Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Millennium Book 3 of 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
As far as I can see, there are two kinds of readers: Those who have read the previous 2 books of the Millennium series, and those who haven't. To people belonging to the second group, I don't advise to read this book. Although the authors really try to give all necessary background information, they, most unfortunately, don't succeed. As a result, you will be unable to understand important parts of the plot and to feel the charm of "Inferno".For the other group of readers, this book is a real MUST! The story seems to be quite simple: The Universe has collapsed and the only existing realm is the wormhole. Starship Defiant, Klingon battlecruiser Boreth and Deep Space Nine itself are caught in the nonlinear realm in bubbles of space-time, the only remnants of the old Universe. Those bubbles are extremely unstable and dissolve quickly, so that the crews of the Defiant and the Boreth have got only about thirty hours to save the Universe, to bring it back from nothingness. If they fail, they are doomed to share that nothingness with their former Universe. Now you probably want to know how it is possible to save something that doesn't exist anymore, that has physicaly never existed and will never exist. I confess I don't know either, and that is the first negative point about this novel. There are certain physical processes going on, but the authors obviously don't consider them too important to explain them. Exactly the same can be told about time travel which is extremely important for the story. In the first two books (particularly in Book 2), methods of time travel were explained using the most modern theories concerning space-time. Even though I am not a physicist, I liked them very much and wanted to find out more about them in "Inferno". But I wasn't given an opportunity to do it. Furthermore certain processes in this book stood in direct contradiction to the explanations from Book 2. That was a pity. The authors probably haven't thought it out all too well. But apart from these two points, "Inferno" and the entire Millennium series were a real fun. I consider those three books as masterpieces of Star Trek fiction. Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens are really geniuses. The characterizations throughout the series are outstanding; the books are full of irony, humor, gripping action, suspense and strong human feelings, which make the story more realistic in my eyes. Furthermore they deal in a unique way with difficult religious and philosophical questions. And, last but not least, the novels bring back into action the crew of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine we have missed so much since the end of the series on TV. I, for my part, liked the Millennium series, and if you read it, you will certainly not regret it either.
