{4.5\/5} “In the enigma tale as we have known it… we have evidence that literature — that art — encodes into itself, despite all attempts at extirpation, critiques of the world in which it is created. In the enigma tale these authors tried to address — through the medium of the puzzle, the riddle — what we could not discuss in public: the nature of our guilt, its role in our past, and its impact on our future.”<\/p>\n
Star Trek: DS9 — Enigma Tales<\/strong> by Una McCormack, published in 2017<\/p>\n Dr. Katherine Pulaski is on Cardassia to receive an award. While being interviewed live she says people who committed crimes during the Bajoran Occupation should be prosecuted she says yes — without exception. This could prove awkward for Garak, who has done great things as the castellan of Cardassia — but was once a member of the Obsidian Order.<\/p>\n This story takes place completely on Cardassia. Despite it not being on Deep Space Nine with Captain Ro and the rest, it’s essential reading.<\/p>\n The main characters you already know are Garak and Dr. Pulaski — two characters who are absolutely delightful. We also see a chief of police whom Garak trusts, a university professor who was the very best Cardassian in the bad old days, and a researcher who’s dug up some disturbing information about the children of some Cardassian men and Bajoran women.<\/p>\n It’s about terrible things people did in the past and how that should affect the future.<\/p>\n The previous book in the story of the 24th century is Star Trek: TNG \u2014 Hearts and Minds<\/strong><\/a> by Dayton Ward. I also reviewed Una McCormack’s Star Trek: Deep Space Nine \u2014 The Missing<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “In the enigma tale as we have known it… we have evidence that literature — that art — encodes into itself, despite all attempts at extirpation, critiques of the world in which it is created.
