Rating: 5 [ Terrific Book ]
When I first began the Millenium trilogy, a scant two weeks ago I was a little disappointed. The first book has so much going on from so many vantage points that I didn't know how it related to either the overall premise or the forthcoming continuing novels. Boy was I surprised by Book II which at some points reminded me of Stephen King's The Stand where the DS9 crew is reduced to watching helplessly as their universe past/present/future crumbles at the hands of Kai Weyoun. Book III---Inferno goes even further because it tackles what is at the heart of understanding The Prophets, the Celestial Temple, Capt. Sisko's existence, the whole DS9 mythos which boils down to non-linear time. The concept of time having to be first explained to the Prophets and then their comprehending it enough so that they can teach/reveal/manipulate Sisko that what is always has been, what shall be is and that there is no what and that there always has been a thought that is staggering for a tv series/serial novel to accomplish. But the authors pull it off with an aplomb and yet a technical knowledge of physics and technobabble that makes it all comprehensible. It's good to see that the DS9 crew all experience different ideas of faith, belief in whether or not the Prophets are true "Gods" or merely interferring/insane aliens because it fosters a belief that all beliefs should be respected. One man's religion being anothers science. Even at the most desperate of times, Sisko and crew fight against the Pah-Wraiths destructive intent but never they're right to believe, a critical distinction. And the crew, particularly Sisko and to a heavy science bent Jadzia Dax and the surprising twist character of Commander Arla continuously question the Prophets, their pre-destined path for him and the world of Bajor that allows this final installment to securely lock with the two before into a terrific, wryly funny, dark, poignant story about faith and how the universe is bigger than any one crew. The DS9 crew (including Quark (who is both heroic and understandibly terrified, Nog (a boy/future Captain who risks literally everything to becming one of teh progenitors of all Bajoran faith with admiral Jean Luc Picard and the thief/vamp Vash, the hilariously dark Garak and Rom (who Garak secretly suspects is a master Ferengi scientist hiding as a dimwit)hurled through time, non-time, space, life and death have an intrinsic bond of group humanity/integrity/humor that makes them rival the original Star Trek Enterprise crew. A nice point about these novels is that it occurs a year in DS9 time before the final show so lots of plot points and foreshadowings are filled in to make the time spent with this crew even more rich to the serious fan. I am a serious Sisko fan, Avery Brooks fan, from way before DS9 but he embodies a captain, a father, a man, and to some degree though it isn't overtly stated, a Black man (the thought of Sisko being a discriminated against sci-fi writer of the early 20th century who is merely imagining/scrawling the DS9 adventures on a wall that Sisko's son, Jake will one day write as a book himself four hundred years in the future about a man in the 1950's who is a discriminated against Black sci-fi writer who writes about DS9 is chilling, non-linear and equisitely managed and bent and twisted and toyed with so that you actually leave with several fully co-existing, non-conflicting, non-linear beliefs about exactly what's going on. Forget STTNG, DS9 would be the hit Star Trek film Paramount is looking for! Makes you wonder what's going on with Voyager (Seven, Janeway and the Doctor pop up here too).

Rating: 5 [ A spectacular book...one of a kind! ]
I am not much of a book reader but when I decided to start reading some Star Trek novels, this one really drew me in because it is superbly written on many levels. The author's have a rich and detailed knowledge of the star trek universe, they really know how to tell a story and best of all, it is a very poetic and elegant(sp) writing style unlike any I've seen before. It really got my imagination racing and my love of Star Trek has deepened even further. I just bought volume II of the series and I can't wait to start reading it. Any true Star Trek fan owes it to themself to read this series. The author's writing is phenominal!

Rating: 5 [ Absolutely Awesome! ]
This 3 book series was a harrowing adventure through time! How many people are ambitious enough to end the universe, and then restore it? The plot keeps you hooked right up until the very last page. You definitely want to read this book, and I guarantee you you'll even read it again!
