The Hive came from another galaxy: billions of alien beings living inside a vast, biological starship. They've already destroyed one planet, using it as raw material and fuel for their endless voyage through the cosmos, and now the Hive is heading for Bajor. To the Bajorans they've sent a warning, to evacuate the planet or die along with it. Determined to fight, the Bajorans assemble a battle fleet, but it's hopeless against the overwhelming power of the Hive, and only by penetrating the Hive's defenses to learn its guarded secret does Captain Sisko stand a chance of saving Bajor.

This review is from: Objective: Bajor (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) (Paperback)

This is a very original Star Trek book, you get a nice glance at the Cardassian Empire and to the Bajoran politics, meet a new race coming from not far away. I have really loved it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and exciting, but a not enough characterization, March 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Objective: Bajor (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) (Paperback)

The great Hive is a ship that has travel for half a million years to our galaxy from another. It is a great and vast biological ship. The inhabbitants are determined to use Darane IV, Cardassia Prime, and Bajor as refueling stops-thus destroying them and every one and every thing on them. Sisko and his crew must convince the leaders of the Hive not to destroy Bajor. In an attemp to do that they uncover an old secret that could be their key to saving Bajor, only if they can get around the Hive's currupt government!

An exteremely interesting book, but as big of Star Trekkie I am, this one was just a little on the weird side. I got to know the people in the Hive, but there just wasn't very much characterization in the Defiant's crew.

I would have liked to know what Kia Winn's reaction was when she relized that she had interperated the prophacy wrong. She is that character that only wants power, and I just love to hate.

The story it self was fairly good with very few holes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Characterization? Who cares??? This book is excellent!!!, March 21, 1999

By 

David Maramed - See all my reviews

This review is from: Objective: Bajor (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) (Paperback)

This book would make an excellent made-for-tv-movie! There's enough action all throughout the book that I couldn't put it down! I'm glad there isn't much character building or characterization because that's downright boring! It belongs in a TNG book! If you like action and want a good read, get this book.
