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, 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.

Both of these stories are quite well-written, with one major caveat which I'll get to later; if you enjoy the characters of the Ferengi, or stories about them and their culture, you'll probably enjoy the first half of the book, "Satisfaction is not Guaranteed". I don't, so I didn't, although I will admit to having been gladdened by the resolution to one particular sub-plot; to specify which one would risk spoiling a plot-point, so I won't do so.
The second story, "Olympus Descending", ... Read More

Volume 3, The Dominion and Ferenginar, of the Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine chronologically follows what took place in Volume 2. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Ferenginar's "Satisfaction Not Guaranteed" and discovered, much to my delight, the characters from "The Magnificent Ferengi" and "Profit and Lace", two of my favorite Ferengi episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine! This story follows up on what happened after the episode, "The Dogs of War", when Rom became Grand Nagus and Quark vowed ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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.
Rating: -
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.
