A decent follow on! - By: K. Wyatt, 06 Mar 2003 
This was a decent follow on the first book of the series. It was very good to see Dr. Pulaski get in the spotlight, considering she'd pretty much had been written off the show & never made it to the books. I felt the character development was very good & the Ferengi portions were written very well. The only true complaint is that the author's seemed to done a poor job of closing out Kira's story. Overalll though a very well written book & thanks to the author's for a good read. {ssintrepid}
Good Story, Nice to see Dr Pulaski back - By: , 03 Sep 1999 Special only that it brings more about the life of Dr Katherine Pulaski. This task was assigned to her in between Season 2 & 3 as she leaves the Enterprise D & Dr Beverly Crusher arrives to replace her. I like the protrayal of Dr Pulaski as a no nonsense doctor. She tells Kira off when Kira wanted to pull off her own agenda to reveal the brutality of Cardassian rule. I like the character of Dr Pulaski & I was glad to see her back in action.
Never fear, kids, the story's gettin' better! - By: , 31 Aug 1999 
I *reallly* enjoyed getting not only some backstory on Kathryn Pulaski, but also some knowledge of what she did *after* she left the Enterprise. It's nice to have some blanks filled in so expertly!
This story increases the complexity not only of the plotline, but of the virus itself. Great character interaction between Dukat & Pulaski. Good insight into life on Terok Nor before the Feds stepped in.
Another step further along the twisted double helix of this story. Let's hope the next one is just as intriguing.
Improvement - By: , 19 Jul 1999 I'll admit that I've never been a big fan of the previous offerings into the Trek line by these two authors (Their TOS Day of Honor book being a huge expection for me). So, imagine my surprise when about half-way through I actuallly found myself enjoying this novel. It's a satisfying read & the authors reallly do capture the personalities of the characters well on the page. Giving Pulaski a bit of character development on the printed page is nice & the visits with Gul Dukat, Quark & Kira before we meet them on DS9 is nicely done. Also, the strength of this one (unlike the first novel in the series) is that the virus serves as the centerpiece of the novel without too many subplots to distract the reader.
The series is showing hope....
Let's just hope it continues with Carey's novel.
EXCELLENT! - By: , 27 Jun 1999 I loved the return of TNG's former Doctor, Dr. Pulaski. And her trip to DS9, durring the Occupation, was great. It gives better depth to how, in the fictional world of Trek, the occupation was going on durring the adventures of the Enterprise.
Quark & Rom's escapades were excellent too! Great, & funny! This is well worth your time to read. It's so good I read it in only a few short days. Which made me sorta mad, becuase now I'm having to wait for the next two books to arrive. (It's that good! I want to find out how this plauge gets to Romulus.)
Read this, you'll be glad!
