Book Description

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine October 1, 1996
When the Borg destroyed the U.S.S. Saratoga at Wolf 359, killing Captain Sisko's beloved wife, one chapter in his life came to a tragic end. Now painful memories are reawakened when the U.S.S. Defiant carries the survivors of the "Saratoga" to an important Starfleet ceremony. But Sisko's bittersweet reunion with his old crewmates is cut short when an unexpected malfunction threatens the "Defiant" as well as the lives of everyone aboard. Even worse, evidence suggests that the accident was caused by deliberate sabotage.

Has one of Sisko's oldest friends betrayed them all? Sisko and Dax must uncover the truth before death claims the survivors of the "Saratoga".

About the Author

Michael Jan Friedman is the author of nearly sixty books of fiction and nonfiction, more than half of which bear the name Star Trek or some variation thereof. Ten of his titles have appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. He has also written for network and cable television, radio, and comic books, the Star Trek: Voyager® episode "Resistance" prominent among his credits. On those rare occasions when he visits the real world, Friedman lives on Long Island with his wife and two sons.

He continues to advise readers that no matter how many Friedmans they know, the vast probability is that none of them are related to him. --This text refers to the Unbound edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Self-Plagerism?, July 23, 2000
By 
Ken Ramstead (Laval, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saratoga (Star Trek Deep Space Nine, No 18) (Mass Market Paperback)
Can one plagerize oneself? "Hmmm. I'm Michael Jan Friedman, my deadline looms, and I do not have a book ready, and if I don't, I'll have to give up my author advance. Hmmm. Let's turn my PC on. Drag up the find/change menu. Hmmm. Keep 'Reunion' theme. Change 'Picard' to 'Sisko'. Hmmm. Change 'Enterprise' to 'Saratoga'. Lookin' good. Change 'murderer' to 'saboteur'. Eureka!" Needless to say, the similarities to this book and the author's own "Reunion" are just too numerous to mention. The retreaded plot was bad enough, but even judged on its own merits, this novel is very weak with gaping holes in the plot. The silly motive for the sabotage was ridiculous, as was the entire counsellor subplot. Does the author expect us to believe that a female crewperson -- and a counsellor, mind you -- would fall in love with Benjamin Sisko -- let alone anyone -- on sight, without even knowing that person, to the extent that she would deliberately let his wife die in order to have a shot at him? This is just plain silly. I was very disappointed with this book.Especially as the author is capable of so much more.

3.0 out of 5 stars DS9 #18 Saratoga - Good but with faults!, January 23, 2004
By 
K. Wyatt "ssintrepid" (Cape Girardeau, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Saratoga (Star Trek Deep Space Nine, No 18) (Mass Market Paperback)
For several years now I've been reading and enjoying Star Trek novels and have always found novels written by Michael Jan Friedman, Star Trek's most prolific author, to be among the best. Unfortunately, "Saratoga" cannot be counted among those as the plot and the pacing of this novel frequently drifts. What makes it worse is that the premise of the story is an extremely interesting one when considering it deals with some of Captain Benjamin Sisko's past along with the current timeline.

If this is the only Star Trek novel you've ever read by Michael Jan Friedman, who is one of Star Trek's premier authors, I urge you to not take this one as the definitive example of his writing as the majority of his novels are superior in every aspect conceivable, making them highly enjoyable reads in this genre!

The cover art for this title is unfortunately the same standard fare as the majority of those novels released at the same time as this one.

The premise:

Tasked with escorting the surviving members of his former USS Saratoga crew aboard the Defiant to an important ceremony, Captain Sisko finds himself dealing with the painful memories of the loss of his wife during the Borg attack at Wolf 359 and the possibility of sabotage aboard the Defiant by one of those same former crew members...

Overall, I would recommend this novel as it part of the line of Star Trek Deep Space Nine series, albeit a stand alone story, and the majority of these novels are well worth the read and this novel does have its place in the series. {ssintrepid}

Ichirou Ohgami "stelok" (Manila, Metro Manila Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saratoga (Star Trek Deep Space Nine, No 18) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'd say this book is packed with suspense and humor. The point is I'm glad we finally get to seea great book about Sisko's personal history and that of Saratoga. I'm even gladder Friedman picked the job.
