{4\/5} “What Sisko didn’t tell him — and he wasn’t about to, either — was that he’d been prepared to grant the doctor’s request from the beginning. But now, Bashir had learned to fight for what he believed in; now, he was that much closer to being an officer as well as a doctor.”<\/p>\n
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine — Bloodletter<\/strong> by K. W. Jeter, published in 1993<\/p>\n Commander Benjamin Sisko is concerned about what a Cardassian ship will do after it goes through the wormhole. With a little help from Odo sneaking aboard, they realize that the Cardassians are going to build a base — laying claim to the other side of the wormhole. Meanwhile, a Bajoran religious zealot is hiding on DS9, recording messages for his followers. He has decreed that Major Kira must die.<\/p>\n The characters aren’t quite as perfect as in a Peter David novel, but they’re not too far off. Kira and Bashir are featured.<\/p>\n Jeter is a fine writer. He has a couple of interesting ideas in particular that, as far as I remember, weren’t pursued in the series.<\/p>\n This is the 2nd time I’ve read it.<\/p>\n I’ve read 3 of Jeter’s novels — I read 2 of his Blade Runner<\/strong> sequels some years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4\/5} “What Sisko didn’t tell him — and he wasn’t about to, either — was that he’d been prepared to grant the doctor’s request from the beginning.
