Spoilers TP: Zero Sum Game by David Mack Review Thread
- Thread starter JD
- Start date
Is Rough Beasts necessary to understand Plagues of Night or Raise the Dawn? I tried to read that immediately following Zero Sum Game and could only make it to page zzzzzzzzzzz. Also, how are the other DRG3 books paced? It seems like his name appears on a lot of the books at the center of the Typhon Pact and Fall series...
Forgive me for asking if this has been answered somewhere else, but having read both Seekers 3 and this book so closely together, the name Taryl just jumps out at me.
Is the Taryl from the Seekers series the same Taryl from Zero Sum Game? I know it's unlikely, but both are Orion females with similar hairstyles and from the same author. Maybe the ZSG Taryl is a descendant of the Seekers Taryl or they're the same character but brought into the 24th century in the same manner M'Ress was brought to the New Frontier series.
Has David Mack ever said one way or another in some previous interview or thread?

Not the same character. Think of it as being like guys named "Joe."
Got it. Thanks for responding, David!
Since sitting around waiting for the next Voyager novel is boring I have decided to take the plunge and read the Typhon Pact Series. Made my way through Destiny,A Singular Destiny and Losing the Peace. Enjoyed all of them. I really like this whole shake up of the Star Trek Universe.
So on to Zero Sum Game. Haven't read anything with Bashir in it for a long time.

Thank you! Looking forward to all of them. Good thing I'm a fast reader.
