The
combined forces of the Jem'Hadar and the Cardassians have
conquered Betazed, home of Deanna Troi. The Dominion war is
now right at the front door of the Federation but there seems
to be little that can be done to save the planet from its
new rulers...
The
Enterprise is dispatched to the scene in a covert mission
but with the Federation spread so thin there seems to be little
that the ship and its crew can effectively do. Betazed looks
doomed and there's a crazed Cardassian doctor on the loose.
The
Battle of Betazed reads like a very unnecessary adjunct
to the events depicted in DS9, a show inhabited by 'real'
people rather than the bland ciphers of planet Next Gen.
As
a result, the book's narrative fails to tie in with the events
we've previously seen on TV, especially as its ending is so
obvious telegraphed from the outset. At least DS9 had
us guessing right until the end.
Well
written? Yes, but to what purpose?
