Publisher Description
Millenia ago, an apocalyptic battle was fought in the Alpha Quadrant. The losers were banished, but what became of the victors?
The Federation is threatened by this ancient mystery when a battered and broken version of the Defiant is found, frozen for five thousand years, in an icy cloud of cometary debris. Captain Sisko and the crew of Deep Space NineTM are summoned to answer the most baffling question of their lives: how and when will their ship be catapulted back through time to its destruction? And does its ancient death mean that one of the combatants in a primordial battle is poised now to storm the Alpha Quadrant? Only the wormhole holds the answer -- and the future of the Federation itself may depend on the secrets it conceals.
Customer Reviews
This is a great read!
Tightly-plotted, the character voices sound authentic, and it slots right in to the rest of the Invasion series. By far the best book of the four.
Great book
I haven't read the other books in the Invasion series; this one stands pretty well on its own. It grabs you from the very beginning with the mystery of the 5,000 year old Defiant and connects the plots between the station and the Defiant very nicely. It really reads quite like a DS9 episode.
On the downside, I didn't really like the author's characterization of Odo much. He can be biting and sarcastic a lot of the time, but this book takes place at the end of season three, when he's got a healthy respect for his comrades on DS9. Otherwise, the characterizations are very good, and I particularly liked the Vulcan scientist T'Kreng.
Overall, this is a great read, and you don't need to read the other Invasion books to understand the story.
