Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
Force and Motion
by Jeffrey Lang
***Some Reviews may Contain Spoilers***
Pocket Books June 2016
ISBN: 9781501110733
This is a stand alone Deep Space Nine Novel focusing on O'Brien and Nog as they go on a 'vacation' to a research station where they meet up with the former Captain Ben Maxwell. To be honest, Ben Maxwell is not one of those minor Star Trek characters that many people seem to be interested in. Having appeared in only one episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, there is not a lot about this character other than he was doing something wrong by prematurely attacking the Cardassians. The end of the episode implied he was going to jail 'forever' and we saw nothing of him again. It was a nice and creative touch to add him into this book. Ben takes on more dimensions as a result and we get to see some possible scenarios from Ben and O'Brien's past.
The story is fast paced and a fun read. (I read this while on vacation at the beach with my family.) Being a stand alone, it's a good book to pick up anytime and enjoy and potentially re-read.
A recommended read for all Star Trek Novel fans and a good one for anyone not a regular reader of the novels.
4 out of 5 stars
