Not George's best work

2 stars

While this is the 28th book in our continuing mission of the crew and station of Deep Space Nine since the T.V. Series finale it's also the first in the "side-quest" THE FALL series. As such David George III spends a lot of the first half of the book trying to bring new readers up to speed as well as detailing the new Deep Space Nine to all of us. He did so in an interesting fashion through a memorial service and a dedication, but it wasn't particularly thrilling and really easy to put down. Got a little better in the second half but it was odd explanation of getting around security by using a "projectile weapon" rather than a phaser and a weird, intertwined story of an experience inside the celestial temple.

I'll probably pick up the next one, but probably not soon.
