Review by Jeff Ayers
A Kai tries to unite her people while the resistance grows against the tight hand of the Cardassian Empire. Most Bajorans cannot remember a time without constant fear and oppression. On Terok Nor, Dukat battles his own government, trying to convince them that his plans are the right ones. A being with the ability to shape-shift begins to learn his abilities and the concepts of right and wrong, and a Cardassian scientist develops a plan to end the scourge of the Bajoran threat once and for all.
Everyone knows this book will end with the arrival of the Federation and the Emissary taking over Terok Nor. The fun is seeing all of the pieces fall into place in entertaining and surprising ways. Immediately after I finished this book, the last of the trilogy, I wanted to read another one to fill in the gaps, and I wanted to sit down and watch all of my DS9 episodes again. Terok Nor proves to be a rare trilogy of books that stays strong throughout and could easily have had more novels to tell the tale without compromise. The only disappointment is that it's over.
8 out of 10
