Book Description

Star Trek: Captain's Table July 1, 1998
There's a bar called "The Captain's Table", where those who have commanded mighty vessels of every shape and era can meet, relax, and share a friendly drink or two with others of their calling. Sometimes a brawl may break out but it's all in the family, more or less. Just remember, the first round of drinks is always paid for with a story... even on the planet Bajor.

Do the people of the Mist have the ultimate cloaking device -- or a gateway to another dimension? Captain Benjamin Sisko doesn't know for sure, but the Klingons, the Cardassians, and the Ferengi Alliance will stop at nothing to obtain the device. Now Sisko finds himself in the middle of a deadly struggle that could change the balance of power throughout the entire Alpha Quadrant!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not earthshattering, but not bad, either!, April 17, 2000

This review is from: The Mist: The Captain's Table Book 3 (Star Trek Deep Space Nine) (Mass Market Paperback)
It's very interesting, this Captain's Table series, in that each book begins in the bar, but then basically goes the way of the author who wrote it.

I was at first annoyed with all the interruptions (both from 'beings' in the bar listening to Sisko tell the story and by Sisko's own thoughts), because that's not how the other books are written. Once I got over myself about it and just let myself fall into the story, I was fine. In fact, I found that one alien darned amusing.

There were a couple of editing rough spots, but I dismissed those because it's just silly to bother. This is a paperback novel, not brain surgery.

The Mist are an odd bunch, and you'll just never guess where they live.

Once again I can say, the Captain's Table bar is the perfect backdrop for fine Trek storytelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definite page-turner, June 22, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mist: The Captain's Table Book 3 (Star Trek Deep Space Nine) (Mass Market Paperback)
I really, really felt like I was sitting at the same table as Capt. Sisko, listening to his tale with this story. The suspense is well-timed, the characters and plot are vivid, and the whole story *moved* with a pace that I found hard to put down -- even for the season finale of DS9. I even found myself craving some nachos and jambalaya when I finally put the book down...and feeling sorry for that little gecko...

This review is from: The Mist: The Captain's Table Book 3 (Star Trek Deep Space Nine) (Mass Market Paperback)
Of the six Captain's Table books I'd have to say this one comes in a close second to Peter David's "Once Burned." I say this because I feel that the character of Captain Sisko is one of the best character's in the Trek universe.
Although there are a few minor inconsistencies in the story, they are not too distracting. As it happens, a lot of the Trek books released have had them and I do my best to ignore them. Afterall, the books are not canon.
"The Mist" is an extremely well told story about a race that lives close to DS9 and are for all intents and purposes, cloaked or in another dimension that is only one step removed from the Federations. What a wonderful concept! In my opinion, the author's captured Captain Sisko's personality really well. The character interactions in the bar were particularly good. Sotugh is a well done Klingon. The Quilli besting a Klingon was really funny as well. Overall a great story and thank you very much to the author's for this one.
