Editorial Review of The Dominion and Ferenginar (Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Vol. 3)
Within every federation and every empire, behind every hero and every villain, there are the worlds that define them. In the aftermath of Unity and in the daring tradition of Spock's World, The Final Reflection, and A Stitch in Time, the civilizations most closely tied to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine can now be experienced as never before...in tales both sweeping and intimate, reflective and prophetic, eerily familiar and utterly alien.
FERENGINAR: Quark's profit-driven homeworld is rocked with scandal as shocking allegations involving his brother's first wife, the mother of Nog, threaten to overthrow Rom as Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance. Making matters worse, Quark has been recruited by Rom's political adversaries to join their coup d'état, with guarantees of all Quark ever dreamed if they succeed in taking his brother down. While Ferenginar's future teeters on the edge, the pregnancy of Rom's current wife, Leeta, takes a difficult turn for both mother and child.
THE DOMINION: Since its defeat in the war for the Alpha Quadrant, the Great Link -- the living totality of the shape-shifting Founders -- has struggled with questions. At its moment of greatest doubt, its fate, and that of the Dominion itself, is tied to Odo's investigation of his kind's true motives for sending a hundred infant changelings out into the galaxy.
As Odo searches for answers and takes a hard look at his past choices, Taran'atar reaches a turning point in his own quest for clarity...one from which there may be no going back.
Customer Reviews of The Dominion and Ferenginar (Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Vol. 3)
Customer Rating: 
Review Summary: If I could give 3 and 1/2 I would.
Review: The first part of the book satisfaction is not guaranteed is excellent its Quark and his family acting the way Quark and his family should act. It also includes appearances by most of the secondary members of Ferenginar society we have come to love over the years and it does not disappoint. Every Deep Space Nice fan should get the book for this story.
I did not like Olympus Descending half as much as I liked the first story. While there is some interesting interaction between Odo and Weyoun much of the rest of the story tends to be incredibly philosophical and it is just not my cup of tea sorry.

Review Summary: Two books in one.
Review: First half of "Ferenginar" deals with Ferengi culture thru Quarks eyes as his brother Rom is being deposed from the position of Grand Nagas. Well written, the Ferengi are the 'spice' that StarTrek needs. A very enjoyable read.
Second half of book deals with Odo and his relationship with the "Great Link" and the Dominion, Odo seeks out his origins and finds unexpected answers and challenges.

Review Summary: a pivotal point
Review: Apparently, a main character in the Deep Space Nine saga is killed in this installment. It has so many interesting ramifications. Not only was a main character killed, another critical revelation was made which was just as shocking as the killing of a main character. For a while, I was getting a little bored with how this entire series was going, but after reading this I have renewed interest and am eager to start the next book in the series.

Review Summary: Surprisingly Good
Review: For some reason, I didn't expect these two stories to be as entertaining and engaging as the pervious stories. Yet, both did manage to bring a new light to the characters and worlds that have been touched on in DS9.
For the Ferenginar story, I actually enjoyed this a great deal. Perhaps what made it so good is that some outsiders involved provided a rather interesting look into the Ferengi culture. Having Ro Laren be a major character in this story was a great idea. Yeah, we got a look into her relationship with Quark, but it just seemed to flesh out the story more. Leeta also provided a rather unique perspective on things. The story in general, centering around Grand Nagus Rom having troubles and having to face down some enemies was interesting. Zek's role in the story also made for an amusing read.
Now, the Odo "Dominion" story. Yeah, it was okay. I felt as if it dragged on in parts and found myself rather uninterested in the story until the end when the action picked up. There were some ideas and questions posed that did manage to pique my interest and the conclusion of the story does leave the reader with the impression that there are big changes in store for the Dominion and Odo. Still, I don't think it was the best story and it seemed to lack something, but it was still decent.
I'd definately suggest you pick this up. It completes the "Worlds of DS9" saga which was overall one of the better mini-series that gives the reader an inside look at a lot of the characters involved in the series, both past and present.

Review Summary: very good book
Review: the first story talks about the world according to the ferengi. rom is now the grand nagus and has made sweeping changes, from income tax to giving women equal rights(something that was unheard of). most people seem to like the changes but some want to go back to the old ways including his brother quark. so a plot is hatched to shame him by bringing up dirt on his first marriage to nog's mother.
this story is well thought out and is quite funny. it gives the reader an inside look at the society of ferengi and you get to understand them so much more.
the second book is about the dominion. this one is not nearly as good. it has odo remembering his romance with kira and the conflict he will probaly always have with whether to live with his own people or to have a life with the one he loves.
meanwhile a nova near the founders old planet has the great link anxious. is this the return of the progeitor? some think it is and the story leaves a lot up in the air when it finishes.
the only thing i don't like about this series of novels is that kira is least talked about one. i liked her character on deep space nine the most and the writers seem to have little use for her.
