Summary: The Quality of this Series Continues to Rise!
Comment: It is obvious that the powers-that-be behind the DS9 relaunch are working to make this the best-written set of Star Trek books to date. The "Mission Gamma" quartet continues to improve in quality of both writing and plot, and I, for one, can't wait for the next - and final - issue in teh quartet.
"Cathedral" continues the two major story arcs: the Defiant's exploration of the Gamma Quadrant, and the inception of Bajor into the Federation. The Defiant half deals with the apex of the trip through the Gamma Quadrant, where events conspire to force Nog, Bashir, and Ezri Dax to do some sincere soul-searching about the paths their lives have taken. The counterpoint of the various character's spiritual sides was quite an enjoyable reading experience, and as the summary gives away, watching Julian Bashir's genetic enhancing degrade was fabulous plot.
The Bajor-Federation half of the story was just as satisfying, and there are hints of some pretty dark things on the way - I've come up with a few theories as to what is going on, but the book was written so well that I'm not sure, which is the perfect result. Of interest is that Vedek Yevir's taking of centre stage for a good deal of this half of the book, and doing so in a very well characterized way. He's not as one dimensional as we've previously seen, something that is well received of this reader, at least.
Martin and Mangels also brought us the Section 31 Next Generation novel "Rogue," which showed their already fantastic characterization and writing skills, and it is with great pleasure that I see them as a part of the DS9 Relaunch.
You certainly won't see the ending coming, that's for sure. It'll leave you waiting for more.

Summary: ST-DS9: Mission Gamma: Cathedral
Comment: Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Mission Gamma: Cathedral Written by Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels is the thrid book in a four series and the story continues from where book two left off.
This book is part of the relaunch of "Deep Space Nine" since the television series. Here again, this volume of the relaunch is very well-written the the characters go through a real soul searching. The book has two main themes as we read on... the Defiant is on an exploratory tour of the Gamma Quadrant when they come upon an artifact in their space exploration. We all know the Julian Bashir has been genetically enhanced when he was six years old on Adigeon Prime and has alway wonder what his life would have been like had his parents not had him genetically
altered. As Bashir is going through progressive neurological deggeneration, Dax is becoming an unjoined Trill, and Nog is reverting back to a true Ferengi. The detail of this story is wonderful as all of his unfolds.
The second theme of the book is back on Deep Space Nine with Ro Laren, a failing diplomacy between Bajor and Cardassia, and Vedek Yevir is no longer just a cardboard character. This story is filled with intrigue, tragedy and some true callings, making for one good tale.
"Cathedral" continues with the very richly written narrative of the first two books as this series brings excitement back into Deep Space Nine. "Lesser Evil" is the fourth book in this series and should wrap-up Mission Gamma. "Entrprise: What Price Honor?" will be out soon. See you around the galaxy...

Summary: Another in the Star Trek Deep Space Nine Misson Gamma Series
Comment: Authors Michael Martin and Andy Mangels have written another intriguing installment in the "Star Trek Deep Space Nine Mission Gamma" series focusing on diplomatic efforts between Cardassia and Bajor to establish a long-lasting peace via a treaty prior to Bajor's admission into the United Federation of Planets. Colonel Kira Nerys and her security chief, Lieutenant Ro Laren, have their hands full as they contend with the unexpected unraveling of Bajoran-Cardassian diplomacy. A Bajoran religious leader soon intervenes, joining forces with his Cardassian counterpart. Meanwhile the USS Defiant stumbles upon an ancient structure in space - a "Cathedral" - which is tapped to multiple dimensions of space and time; a nexus point of a multitude of universes. The away team's brief exposure results in some unexpected, almost dire, consequences for Chief Medical Officer Julian Bashir, Lieutenant Ezri Dax and the Defiant's Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Nog.
