As a small child, Jules Bashir underwent illegal genetic enhancements that forever altered the natural course of his life. As an adult, ever since the day he discovered what his parents had done, Dr. Julian Bashir has wondered what he might have become if "Jules" had been allowed to live, certain he would never know the answer.

JIm FUlner reviewed Cathedral, Mission Gamma by Michael A. Martin

5 stars

Cathedral has been the best of the "Mission Gamma" Mini-Series inside the DS9 Relaunch. returnreturnFor the first time in the series the portion of the story that actually takes place in the gamma quadrent is as interesting as what is happpening back on DS9. returnreturnThe Defiant send Bashir Nog and Ezri out to explore a new part of space in their shuttle craft. Nog somehow turns the subspace frequency into some annoying subtonal ferengi music. This ends up being important later in the story. Some strange stuff happens, Dax and Ezri seperate, Bashir becomes stupid, and Nog grows his leg back. returnreturnThe meet some new Instectoid aliens, the one that guides them the crew names "Sacajawea" Reminds me of the endless possibilities we have in literature that we are limited to in TV/Film. Only the secrets this Cathedral/Anthem hold and the intergalactic peace behind Sacajawe's people and thier sworn enemies …

Only the secrets this Cathedral/Anthem hold and the intergalactic peace behind Sacajawe's people and thier sworn enemies can return our beloved characters to their original ability. returnreturnPrynn was almost no where to be seen, realizing i Had even forgot her last name until the end of the book. returnreturnBack in the Alpha quadrent the strange love affair between Ro and Quark continues in a way that actually makes me wanting more. Tar'antar seeks the advice of Vic Fontain, and everyone is glad that Jem'hadar are not as hard on Las Vegas as Klingons. returnreturnThe revealing of the last orbs I was so expecting in the previous book, may actually show up here, after a third story line begins where once every 6 chapters or so we see Vedek Yhair on Bajor hanging out Elhim Garrek. I highly recommend Cathedral to anyone who likes Star Trek, I recommend you read all the DS9 relaunch, but I think this book may have enough to live on its own.
