UNSAILED SEAS The political intrigue aboard Deep Space 9 (tm) escalates when Gul Macet's warship arrives at the station with an unexpected passenger. Cardassian Ambassador Natima Lang has returned to the station on a mission of hope, but it's one that will bring back old wounds and old ghosts. As tensions rise on all sides, Colonel Kira Nerys discovers that the line between friend and foe is narrower than she ever imagined. Elsewhere, the crew of the damaged Starship Defiant forges an uneasy alliance with an unusual alien species -- one whose unique biological makeup is the key to the balance of power in that region of the Gamma Quadrant. As the crew becomes ensnared in a web of deceit, Lieutenant Ezri Dax and Ensign Thirishar ch'Thane struggle to stave off a genocidal civil war.

This Gray Spirit takes over where Twilight left off in every way, including every other chapter switching between DS9 in the Alpha QUadrant and the Defiant in the Gamma Quadrant. Again the story in the Alpha quadrant was better than that in the Gamma Quadrant, strange seeing this is supposed to be "Mission Gamma". The Federation announces that Bajor will be welcomed as joining the federation, the Bajorians are being douches about it and are still mad at Caradassia and Kira must navigate this nonsense without hurting anyoneâs feeling, while the love story of Ro and Quark continues. returnreturnCommander Vaughn finds a new ally in the Gamma Quadrant only to have them double cross him and reveal a racisms that makes 1960s America look tame. Shar thinks if he can save these racists bastards he can save the entire Andorian people. returnreturnJarman does a much better job than George did …

Shar thinks if he can save these racists bastards he can save the entire Andorian people. returnreturnJarman does a much better job than George did on keeping her story focused and readable. Chapter sizes where manageable, and each chapter was almost its own cliff hanger wanting me to read through the unrelated next chapter to get to the conclusion of the one I'm on. returnreturnThere were a couple of Star Trek Univerise inconsistencies that must be dealt with, such as If Quark had access to a containment field within the bar, how come he never used it when things got crazy on the show like when the Klingons drank too much?returnreturnWhen a character we were just beginning to fall in love with dies at the end the whole future of the DS9 relaunch series will need to take a direct turn. Reminds me how much easier it is to kill off and get new mager characters in a book series than a TV seriesreturnreturnAll in all a great part of the DS9 relaunch and a desire to keep going after the disappointment of book 1 in the Mission Gamma Series.
