The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko by Derek Tyler Attico
"I’ve never been bashful about my love of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I’ve used it to talk about the “alien-ness” of various Trek series, looked back at the DS9 young adult novels, and wrote forty-one entries on the DS9 relaunch stories that continued" Read more of this review »

The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko by Derek Tyler Attico
"Great read, loved hearing about Sisko's life from his perspective. I especially loved how Derek Tyler Attico incorporated so much of Black culture into Sisko's story. Now I'm in the mood for more DS9 novelizations!"
The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko by Derek Tyler Attico
"This is the latest in the Starfleet captain autobiography series. I liked that it focused more on Captain Siskos life prior to DS9 instead of just rehashing stories from the series. Any Trekkie will enjoy this one."

Quotes by Derek Tyler Attico  (?)

“When you let go of hate, the first person you free is yourself.”
Derek Tyler Attico, The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko

“Their smug superiority is a mask that covers a deeply rooted fear of not being good enough and of others being better, and that makes them very, very dangerous,” she said.”
Derek Tyler Attico, The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko

“I love Starfleet and the Federation more than anything else, and it is exactly for that reason I reserve the right to criticize them perpetually.”
Derek Tyler Attico, The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko

“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
" Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.”
Alexandre Dumas
