Deep space 9 books, what the heck??? (A ZSG spoiler)

Full Circle was brilliant. If Rough Beasts is like that I would be happy. Be nice to know certain missing information after the little reveal in Zero Sum Game.

I have to agree as well. If we can't get a serious of books to fill the 5 year gap, well then one book like Full Circle is good by me.

What's a serious of books?

On current form, we should get some solid answers by 2017.

Oh my bad. What I ment was series. I had worked the night before and must of been that tired that I didn't even reread what I wrote.

(sorry, couldnt resist.)

Full Circle was brilliant.

I thought it was very average and wouldnt really want a book like that to tell the skipped time in DS9.

I really liked that book but i wouldnt want that either. they did a great job with the ds9 relaunch. they should start where they left off.

As much as I loved Full Circle (it's one of my favorite Trek books), I don't think that would work quite as well for DS9, there were simply to many different complicated arcs.

Even though the editor situation is still up in the air as far as I know, I doubt that the decision to jump the DS9 narrative ahead to bring it in sync with the rest of the 24th Century TrekLit (TNG, Titan, New Frontier, and Voyager) will be undone. I also don't really think you could do a book like Full Circle - as great as it was - for DS9, since the two series are so fundamentally different in terms of the way they're structured narratively. Full Circle worked as well as it did because it 'fit' the narrative style of Voyager both in terms of the TV series and in terms of what Christie Golden had done with the relaunch. Any attempt to 'bridge the gap' vis a vis DS9 is more likely to take the form of a multiple-book arc (i.e. Avatar or Mission: Gamma) rather than a single book.
