We also got an Odo sighting, and the introduction to Toran'atar, who I took to be the new Odo, an outsider who really is at the station with peaceful intentions but is there to learn about other cultures. There was plenty of action, from Kitan'iklan almost destroying the station to Kira and Vaughn saving the station, and the revelations about Oihalu's book and the prophecies within. They took everything from book 1 and paid it off, while still leaving the groundwork for the rest of the DS9 Relaunch. I know a lot of complaints for these two books were that they could have been one novel, and I agree, but from my perspective, they almost were.Īnyway, I loved Avatar II. However, it was obvious set up for book 2 and thankfully, I was able to read book 2 right after book 1. I loved Avatar I, mainly for the excitement of new trek and new DS9 to dig into. Overall both Avatar novels combined are a worthy for the rebirth of Deep Space Nine and wants you to see more. Some new little side stories are started, like Quark's affection for Ro or Nog's problems with the Jem'hadar. The storylines started in the first book are continued and intervowen. My short review from a decade ago:This second Avatar novel rounds up the story nicely. THE ASTONISHING RENEWAL OF THE EPIC ADVENTURE. Meanwhile, as the combined crews of Deep Space 9™ and the Starship Enterprise™ struggle to stop a terrorist plot to destroy the station and the ship, lives change, new friendships are forged, and the shocking truth behind a grisly murder is revealed. But when a newly discovered prophecy propels Jake Sisko on an impossible quest and threatens to plunge all of Bajor into chaos, Kira is forced to choose between being true to her faith.and being true to herself.

RETURN TO THE EDGE OF THE FINAL FRONTIER.Īs the Federation prepares to launch a counterstrike against the Dominion, Colonel Kira Nerys searches for a way to prevent another galactic holocaust.
