Thanks from the author

I am the author of the Star Trek Deep Space Nine Companion. I want to thank all of you for the wonderful reviews you've given to this book. But please do not be confused by Amazon's error: This book is NOT out of print. Both the publisher and I have informed Amazon of their error many times, but the company apparenty does have a system to correct their error. The book is "in print" and available. Period. Again, thanks for your good words. Terry J. Erdmann

Detailed and Behind-the-Scenes Information on Every Episode

This is the comprehensive guide for the entire run of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," featuring cast and crew information, summaries and a detailed analysis of every episode. Also included each episode are a few pictures from the episode itself.

My favorite part is the behind-the-scenes information revealed by the cast and crew. You learn the intentions and thoughts of the actors and many of the people working on the show. This enhances the enjoyment of the show as you understand what they liked, what they thought they could have improved and what points they were trying to make with certain things.

Also of great interest is the additional information spread throughout, analyzing particular aspects from the show or the season as a whole. Even if you don't consider yourself a "trekkie" and maybe more of a casual viewer, you'll definitely find something to interest you in this guide to the show.

Outstanding Reading

I have always considered DS9 the best Star Trek series overall. I loved the characters, not only because they kept me entertained when I watched the show, it was because they had flaws. The strength of the characters kept me glued to my TV. Now, thanks to the DS9 companion I am able to read up on each episode and see what the director had planned for that episode and whether or not I think he succeeded. I also enjoyed the write up on each character. My only complain would be that the book is printed on fairly thin paper. Other then that, this book is pure GOLD!!!
