When it comes to Star Trek, I’m pretty sure that Deep Space Nine is my favorite series. I quickly love Benjamin Sisko, and that translated to the rest of the series. Being able to enjoy Star Trek, Vol. 1: Godshock was a treat.

The non-Q god-like beings in the world of Star Trek aren’t my favorite, so I was a little bummed at the end of Deep Space Nine, when Sisko disappeared into “nothing” with the Bajoran gods at the wormhole. This story picks up three years later, and Sisko finally reappears, albeit with a message and a mission from those gods.

Sisko takes a Starfleet experimental ship, the Theseus, alongide a crew of some familiar faces to investigate a mysterious message from those gods.

Joining Sisko on the trio are Montgomery Scott from Star Trek; Data, Worf, and Beverly Crusher from The Next Generation; Jake Sisko from Deep Space Nine; and Tom Paris from Voyager. There are also several other familiar faces who make an appearance.

There were occasions early on when reading this book that I did a few double takes on the art of established characters. However, I was able to adjust pretty quickly and had a good time.

I didn’t enjoy this as much as I enjoyed The Dog Of War, but… I like Star Trek, so it was still a fun read.

Thank you Edelweiss and IDW Publishing for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
