Product Description:
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, andA 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.
CARDASSIA: The last world ravaged by the Dominion War is also the last on which Miles O'Brien ever imagined building a life. As he joins in the reconstruction of Cardassia's infrastructure, his wife Keiko spearheads the planet's difficult agricultural renewal. But Cardassia's struggle to remake itself -- from the fledgling democracy backed by Elim Garak to the people's rediscovery of their own spiritual past -- is not without opposition, as the outside efforts to help rebuild its civilization come under attack by those who reject any alien influence.
ANDOR: On the eve of a great celebration of their ancient past, the unusual and mysterious Andorians, a species with four sexes, must decide just how much they are willing to sacrifice in order to ensure their survival. Biological necessity clashes with personal ethics; cultural obligation vies with love -- and Ensign Thirishar ch'Thane returns home to the planet he forswore, to face not only the consequences of his choices, but a clandestine plan to alter the very nature of his kind.

When I got this book, i thought i would enjoy the Andorian part better, but it turned out to be the oppisite. I really like how Cardassia was brought to life and I got a kick out of Miles and Garak's characters. Ah, Andor was okay. There were some really great moments, some boring, some annoying, but mostly good. The last scene with Shar and Prynn didn't make any sense to me...not the decision he made, but how fast he changed his mind. Seemed a bit rushed to me, but whatever. Hope they continue ... Read More

Included in this book are TWO superb stories following the ongoing story of Deep Space Nine, as begun in the television series and as continued in a very good run of books, most recently (prior to this book) in "Unity". Each of these stories is about 200 pages, but neither of them seemed particularly short; I was surprised when I checked that they weren't each full-novel length. The first follows events on Cardassia in the aftermath of the Dominion war, the second follows the characters of Shar and ... Read More

This novel is actually two stories in one. The first story, "The Lotus Flower" is based on Cardassia after the Dominion War left the planet devastated. I'm delighted to see the return of Miles Edward O'Brien, his wife, Keiko, and their children, Molly and Yoshi. The O'Brien's seem to have adapted to living on Cardassia Prime given that they lived on Deep Space Nine, a Cardassian-designed space station, for about seven years. In this scenario, Keiko is the director of a scientific project to reclaim ... Read More

For Trekkies:
Cardassia: who cares about a lenghty description of an unimportant government decision, a PURE WASTE OF INK AND PAPER. If I could invoke the Prophets I would ask them to ban Una McCormack FOR EVER OF WRITING FOR STAR TREK
Andor: oh! man! Heather Jarman has created a MARVELOUS story, she is so a good writter and the description of the 4 genres is so well done, one of the best books, I mean it, best novels I had read.
Rating:  -
These two novelletes are entertaining and give the dedicated ST reader more background on both planets. The Cardassia part however is not as well written and feels loose. The Andor is better.
