As most DS9 fans on the flist are probably aware, after the TV show ended, a set of tie-in novels started up where the series had left off, creating a relaunched "season eight" (most folks seem to put "Unity" as the season eight finale, it looks like), and now even a "season nine" of sorts.
I've started reading the relaunch novels in the order suggested here (scroll down for a list of the relaunch novels and comments about assorted other tie-ins that fit into the same timeline), and have made it to the end of the Mission Gamma quartet. And I've enjoyed them quite a lot! Lots of fantastic development for existing characters, cleverly realized new characters, and smartly unpredictable plots.
If you've been on the fence about reading these books, I'd definitely recommend giving them a shot. Since I've been enjoying them muchly, I figured I'd write them up a bit - under the cut are my (incredibly longwinded) thoughts on the four Mission Gamma novels.
( Major spoilers for the entire TV series and the novels up to Lesser Evil under the cut. )
Phew. That was long! I haven't properly reviewed anything in a long time.
If you reply (and I hope you do, even if you just want to tell me how wrong I am about all of the above!), I just want to mention that I haven't read beyond "Lesser Evil" yet, and so I'd really appreciate it if you avoided spoilers for later books in your replies.
