Product Description

What begins as a sticky political problem soon evolves into full-scale chaos for Commander Sisko when a tomb of Cardassian soldiers is discovered on Deep Space Nine ™. While Sisko searches for a diplomatic way to return the soldiers to Cardassia, the "bodies" begin to pulsate with life, determined to seek revenge on the enemies now occupying the former Cardassian stronghold.

But as the soldiers launch their attack to cripple the station, and Sisko struggles to regain control, another old enemy plots to destroy the soldiers at any cost -- even if it means destroying Deep Space Nine as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of action and surprising depth, January 16, 2004

This review is from: Station Rage (Star Trek Deep Space Nine, No 13) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a book with a lot of combat, hand to hand and ship to ship. The descriptions, in general and of the action specifically, are good and quite vivid. The character interaction is very good. The characterisation and writing in general are good but a bit odd. The actions and behaviour of the characters fit, but the dialogue and internal thinking are not how the DS9 crew talk. It's not overdone in this particular book, but noteworthy. There are also odd little mistakes, like the Infirmary supposedly not being on the Promenade. That all aside, the action in this book is well thought out, both in terms of writing and in terms of planning and execution by the characters. It is a real battle of minds between Sisko and the leader of the station's invaders. This is a great action book and with more depth than one would expect.

This review is from: Station Rage (Star Trek Deep Space Nine, No 13) (Mass Market Paperback)

"Station Rage" is author Diane Carey's first original Deep Space Nine story and it is most certainly one of her best Star Trek stories ever. Even more than usual with one of her stories, I found myself amazed with how well designed the plot and overall premise of this story was setup and executed. As is usual with one of her better stories, the characterizations and pacing for this incredible early DS9 tale are beyond reproach.

The cover art for this great story and the story itself aren't quite in synch, which only goes to reproving some of the difficulties the fiction writers had when trying to keep up with the fast paced series and its constant shifting and changing. The cover art itself isn't all that interesting, but the fact that it shows Sisko as he was during the early seasons, with hair and the rank of Commander is in direct contradiction with the story where he's a Captain.

The premise:

As was usual for O'Brien during the early years of the series, he and Odo are exploring through some of the less traveled areas of the space station and they soon discover a cache of Cardassians. The Cardassians come back to life and start causing major problems for the Starfleet and Bajoran crews. Finding the situation untenable, Captain Sisko attempts to handle the situation diplomatically, but soon finds that impossible.

What follows from there is most certainly one of Diane Carey's best Trek stories and one of the best early Star Trek Deep Space Nine stories that I would highly recommend to any and all fans of Star Trek fiction! {ssintrepid}

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book Caught One Flaw!, October 13, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Station Rage (Star Trek Deep Space Nine, No 13) (Mass Market Paperback)

Probably the best Trek book I've read in quite a while and I've read a lot. This book is well done, and thats we expect from Star Trek. I reread the story about three times so far, and only caught one error. With a genre as big as Trek, this was no small feat. No, I don't read to find flaws, as a fan I just caught this one.

At one point Sisko is beamed to Engineering on the Defiant because the bridge is transporter proof. Later on a federation starship, arriving to help beams the last survivor from the Cardassian ship directly to the bridge of the Defiant. This is a tiny point, and as I said this was a wonderful, and masterful story. I was enthralled the second time I read it!! GeronL. a reader
