Vectors

What can i say that i haven't said already about those wonderful star trek books. Rondall Banks

This was a decent follow on the first book of the series. It was very good to see Dr. Pulaski get in the spotlight, considering she'd pretty much had been written off the show and never made it to the books. I felt the character development was very good and the Ferengi portions were written very well. The only true complaint is that the author's seemed to done a poor job of closing out Kira's story. Overall though a very well written book and thanks to the author's for a good read.

Special only that it brings more about the life of Dr Katherine Pulaski. This task was assigned to her in between Season 2 and 3 as she leaves the Enterprise D and Dr Beverly Crusher arrives to replace her. I like the protrayal of Dr Pulaski as a no nonsense doctor. She tells Kira off when Kira wanted to pull off her own agenda to reveal the brutality of Cardassian rule. I like the character of Dr Pulaski and I was glad to see her back in action.

I loved the return of TNG's former Doctor, Dr. Pulaski. And her trip to DS9, durring the Occupation, was great. It gives better depth to how, in the fictional world of Trek, the occupation was going on durring the adventures of the Enterprise.Quark and Rom's escapades were excellent too! Great, and funny! This is well worth your time to read. It's so good I read it in only a few short days. Which made me sorta mad, becuase now I'm having to wait for the next two books to arrive. (It's that good! I want to find out how this plauge gets to Romulus.)Read this, you'll be glad!

Double Helix: Vectors follows Dr. Kate Pulaski as she leaves the Enterprise, replaced by returning Beverly Crusher, at the end of TNG's second season, to Terok Nor (soon to become Deep Space 9) where a mysterious plague is killing both the Bajoran slaves & their Cardassian overseers. With the help of her Bajoran ex-husband, a dedicated Cardassian doctor, and a few Starfleet medical personnel, she works to find a cure, despite Gul Dukat's concern to protect his position. Kira Nerys, at this time a Bajoran freedom fighter, and Odo also take part. Quark, Rom, & Nog provide a little comic relief, & Picard & Crusher appear briefly. Again, the science is not too difficult for someone with little background to follow. This novel does borrow from the previous one to a small extent, but it can stand alone. Red Sector, next in the series, would appear to feature Ambassador Spock and Dr. McCoy. I enjoyed this book very much.
