Title: Blah! Good premise needed WAY WAY WAY fewer words.
Product review: This trilogy could have been written in two, or even only one book. The author was extremely wordy, as if he was trying to fill up all the space given to him by the editors. The stories dragged on and on and on... and as much as I LOVE a good story about xenoarcheology I actually took all three books back to the book seller half way through the second book.The characters were believable, to the author's credit, but it just took too damn long to get anywhere of interest. Going in plot-circles just isn't my idea of a good time. I felt as though the editor and author got together and decided they wanted to make some extra cash by dragging out this plot line and I felt literally hoodwinked and cheated; that's why I returned the books. They probably figured because Q was involved, everyone would fall for it. I almost did.I have been leary of three-parters in the ST universe ever since. BUT I was pleasantly surprised by the Millenium trilogy for DS9.
