4.0 out of 5 stars Far better than other DS9 attempts but not Graf's best, July 18, 1999

By A Customer

It was Time's Enemy that made me read this book. Though A.S. is full of the same unique detailed 'realism' style that you can only find in a Graf novel, it is nowhere near the same standard as Time's Enemy - which is what I see as Graf on peak form. Technical detail, realistic suspense, no over-the-top melodrama that is found in other Trek novels... All of these trademarks were there but sometimes you just got the feeling that the story was trying to prolong itself for no reason. I found myself 'jolting' through the middle chapters. Still, as mentioned by others, an ideal read for a Sunday afternoon and worth it for any Graf fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and well-written., January 5, 2004

By	James Yanni (Bellefontaine Neighbors, Mo. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book may not be quite as thought-provoking as the first book in this miniseries, ("Ancient Blood" by Diane Carey) but it is definitely better written and more entertaining than the vast majority of Star Trek books, and worth the read for anyone not inimically opposed to reading a Star Trek book. The characterizations of the regulars seem well-handled, and if none of the minor characters really shone, they at least had an opportunity to make more than a walk-on appearance. Meanwhile, the antagonists were fairly standard, but they weren't really the point of the story, and if the concept behind the new alien species wasn't all that new, that wasn't much of a detriment to the story. It WOULD have been nice if the concept of "honor" was a bit more central to the story, rather than mostly being a series of plot devices that the characters had to work with and/or around. But overall, this book is very good, falling just short of the five-star mark.

5.0 out of 5 stars Klingon Honor meets Federation Prime Directive, August 24, 1997

By	Edward Alexander Gerster "miamibooks" (South Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Surprisingly thought provoking while being highly entertaining. Graf is a master at giving the Star Trek characters an extra depth and purpose, while creating interesting new plotlines with suspense and humor. Fun
