Purchased This in a Brick and Mortar Store

I purchased this book in a brick and mortar store near my home. I'm behind in my reading. As soon as I catch up on reading this novel, I'll be updating my review.

I hope the new movie is as good as this.

Great Star Trek book Perry and Dennison get a lot of credit for tying together so many different story lines between Odo and the first days of his escape from the lab to the arrival of Quark to a cloak and dagger game of various Cardasian factions in favor or opposed to the occupation. This book is an excellent addition to the Star Trek expanded universe. Let me just say for the record that this book is good but "until the next time" meaning that this is the timeline of events until someone thinks to rewrite it 5 years from now. Star Wars Expanded universe stuff may not make any sense but at least there is an effort to maintain a single timeline. Overall-I sincerely home that the relauch movie has half the energy drive and heart of this book.

Fabulous series

As the final book in this amazing trilogy I found it to be a satisfying end. Such a sharp contrast to the beauty and detail that was Bajoran society in the first novel to this broken and struggling culture. These authors have once again taken Star Trek and put it into a great story with amazing writing. Not only was it well written but well researched, taking small characters that were used in one episode and fleshing them out. Interesting to go back and watch the series and find that character who may have had brief moment but took on a major role in these novels. This final book did justice to Odo, Kira and the characters we know and love while using equally engaging characters throughout. If you enjoy a complicated, detailed series that will make you think and feel, these three books are for you. The only disapointment is that it has to end and while the conlusion is satisfying, it will leave you wanting more. Hats off to the authors, wonderful job!

An important chapter for DS9

Out of the three Terok Nor books, this is probably the most important to the characters we know and love. Kira and Odo get a great deal of character development, both together and separately. The fact that Kira could grow to trust someone who worked for the Cardassians was never completely explained in the series, but this book builds that solid foundation. It's also a dark chapter in Cardassia's occupation of Bajor. After Lenaris's victories and the liberation of Gallitep in Night of the Wolves, you might be feeling optimistic. But things have to get worse before they get better, and Cardassia's efforts to tighten its grasp are both fascinating and frightening. Dukat's twisted psyche comes out in full force, as he punishes his Bajoran "children" and expects them to be grateful. Where the first two books explored time periods we didn't know much about, Dawn of the Eagles has to conform to many episodes of DS9 and TNG which established events during this time. Perry and Dennison flesh out some (Kira's first arrival on Terok Nor) and mention others in passing (Picard's meeting with Keeve Falor). The results of these episode crossovers range from excellent to mediocre, but they can't be avoided. One thing to be aware of when diving into this book is that there's a lot of plot. Even though the primary focus is on Kira and Odo, there is an abundance of plotlines which pop up. I was disappointed that Lenaris Holem was nowhere to be found, and Miras Vara only gets a few small appearances, but I suppose they might have drawn focus away from the main stars. I found the last days of the Occupation to be especially exciting. It felt like Perry and Dennison tried very hard to reward the readers who stuck with this series. The question of how the Occupation really ended has been stuck in my head for years, and I'm very satisfied with the answer. I'd say this book is a must-read for fans of DS9 (as well as the other two Terok Nor books.) Not only is it an exciting read, it also throws a fascinating perspective on the tv series.

The back story to Deep space nine show

This is the last of the three part series of novels on the bajoran occupation, and I found it a wonderful read. I suggest it to all DS9 fans.
