I couldn't believe when I started to read this novel. It was just the same storyline than in "Reunion"( see review here ) from the book line of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I knew that it was the same author but I was expecting some kind of different story but when I started to read the book, it was once again on a reunion of a former crew, this time from the U.S.S. Saratoga where Benjamin Sisko was the First Officer, and yet once again a murderer in the loose who was killing one by one, the member of the former crew. What the heck? I couldn't believe it! Even, investigating about this, I read the the author, Michael Jan Friedman, told that since he had so much fun writing "Reunion", he wanted to do it again but in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Ah? Ah?? Ah???! Were he serious? I felt robbed. I even don't quite remember how it ends. I do remember that I read it all. But definitely that didn't change my opinion of this poor excuse for a book. Maybe if you are lucky and you haven't read "Reunion" before of this one, you would be able to enjoy it, but not in my case. Even then, honestly I think that "Reunion" was much better book. I want to add that I have read several Star Trek novels by Michael Jan Friedman and he is one of my favorite writers on the franchise, sadly here, in this particular book, I got dissapointed.

Any avid DS9 fan can recall the battle of Wolf 359-the devastating encounter with the Borg that cost Benjamin Sisko not only the loss of his wife, but also his starship: The Saratoga.
Fast forward three years and the now 'Captain' Sisko has been called to attend the christening of a brand new Saratoga at Utopia Planitia shipyard. A handful of Saratoga survivors convene on Deep Space Nine to join the Captain for this bittersweet event. They soon set out for Mars on the Defiant only to be thrown off course and put into a deadly situation which will test the mettle and loyalty of everyone on board; as it appears a traitor is in thier midst!
"The Saratoga" is literary comfort food for any fan of DS9, as it gives the reader a glimpse into the Captain's past and the wounds which still haven't fully healed. These wounds are also very present with the other Saratoga survivors and also his son Jake. Everyone is still trying to process thier losses from the battle with the Borg, and the christening of the new Saratoga only serves to bring those bitter memories to the surface.
The Saratoga survivors featured in this story are given the appropriate amount depth to make them interesting and crucial to the plot. The DS9 regulars are written just as you'd imagine them on the show, and thier interactions with the Captain's former shipmates are interesting.
And while this book may seem similar in flavor to Friedman's TNG outing "Reunion", it's ultimately very different in execution and overall plot. It does, however, go into familiar Friedman 'whodunit' territory, and that's when things get really fun! There's enough red herrings in this mystery to fill a lake, and it definitely had me guessing until the end.
There's also an amusing B plot that pairs two of the most unlikely of DS9 regulars. Suffice it to say, it's quite hilarious and balances out the A plot nicely with some levity.
I found "The Saratoga" to be a very satisfying reading experience overall. It gives the reader insight into Sisko's former shipmates while simultaneously thrusting them into a harrowing situation. It also provided a compelling mystery with plenty of twists and turns. I would recommend it as required DS9 reading.

This was a fun and quick read that I enjoyed on a fine Thanksgiving afternoon in front of a fire in the mountains of West Virginia.
In this novel, Captain Sisko is tasked to escort his former crew mates of the fallen U.S.S. Saratoga to the christening of the refit model. Along the way, we see two plots: a mysterious sabotage aboard the Defiant and Odo and Rom’s developing the lobes for business to assist Kira. Both plot lines are excellent, interesting, and funny.
I did have some concern with one scene between Counselor Barnes and Dax, as well as another scene toward the end of the novel involving Barnes, but beyond that, I had no complaints. I have read that this book is a riff off the TNG novel, “Reunion,” but as I haven’t read that yet, this was a treat for me!
This was one of the best DS9 reads in a long while, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend for an afternoon read!

I recently finished Saratoga, from Michael Jan Friedman.
To be honest, I'm a little disappointed with this book. The premise could have been so much and, yet, they barely used it properly. The original Saratoga crew are barely developed beyond Zar and Barnes (although I really like her PTSD part), while the whole saboteur thing is resolved without Sisko and the crew actually doing anything (even if they want to pretend that no, it was all planned). The Odo and Rom subplot is perhaps the funniest part for me and, thinking about it, I would have liked something like that to have happened in the series. I didn't know I needed Odo playing Quark haha.
Obviously it has some sweet and very good moments, like Odo eating for Rom (and calling him "his friend") or Sisko preferring to die for his crew, but ultimately, this book feels like an DS9 episode, but not a good one, the one that you skip when you're watching the series again.
Conclusion: People shrugged a lot in this book.

Though I think this did rise above being the Deep Space Nine version of "Reunion" it only peaked above just a touch - as it was pretty much the same thing but shorter and with an Odo and Rom side plot. I liked some of the new characters that were introduced in the story but they sometimes did get muddled in my head.
Personally, I thought the culprit was going to be a Changeling because there were so many times where characters were surprised by people's entrances and it seemed to be going that way. Some situations I was thinking, Boom! Changeling! Sharp spikes into your chest...but no. I think that would have been a little more along the lines of the DS9 universe but I guess that was already done on the show at this point. Correct me if I am wrong but did they build a NEW Miranda class Saratoga at the end? That's kind of dumb.

Succeeds at feeling just like a good episode of DS9. Sisko reuniting with the surviving crew of his previous posting, the Saratoga, is a thread I’m surprised the show never tackled. It made for good character drama and added to Sisko’s backstory with a shocking twist moment. The subplot of Odo having to impersonate Quark also made for a hilarious story that similarly seems like an idea the show could’ve tackled.

Das war ein dermaßen schlechter Roman! ich verstehe nicht, wie der an den Lektoren vorbei gekommen ist... die Charaktere waren völlig anders als in der Serie. star fleet feuert nie den ersten Schuss ab -aber hier tun sie es, aus einer vermutung heraus, angegriffen zu werden-dabei haben sie vorher einen Notruf abgesetzt! leider ein ganz schlechtes, langweiliges, ätzendes buch!

Let me start by saying that I have thoroughly enjoyed the books of MJF set in the Star Trek Universe. The Stargazer series stands out. Reunion as well.
I am a huge fan of DS9, and was looking forward to this book. I loved Reunion, and was hoping for something on that level. It just didn’t pan out here. Good read, just lacking the emotional pow that I was expecting.

I haven't had the chance to read many Star Trek novels, the only other one I've read has been Q-in-Law, which I enjoyed but not as much as Saratoga. I thought it was a wonderful addition to the world of DS9, and appreciated the characters introduced as well as the way existing ones were written. I hope to read more novelizations in the future, especially if they're as good as Saratoga.

The characters really feel like themselves. I could see the Quark and Rom and Quark and Odo interactions being a thing on the show. Sisko also deals with the traumatic past event of his wife's death, with Counselor Constance Barnes, one of the members of the Saratoga crew, revealing something that would make anyone feel a spiral of emotions.

Lite småseg historia, boken igenom. Vissa avsnitt är intressanta, men lyfter tyvärr inte boken nämnvärt. Michael Jan Friedman har en gåva att ibland skriva riktigt bra böcker, men denna bok är inte en av dem. Karaktärbeskrivningarna är inte tillräckligt djupa, som jag ser det.
November 16, 2018
Jednoduchý prvoplánový příběh s chybami zkloubený s špatným překladem s chybami. Ve výsledku jsem byl rád, že je kniha tak krátká.

Enjoyed reading more about Sisko's back story and his former crewmates. Felt like a good episode of the show. Friedman had a good handle on the dialogue and behaviors of the characters.

Excellent, daring, cunning, easter eggs, detecting, mystery, humour, daring do, full of adventure and action! Brilliant from the start! Crisp high five highly recommended Get it When You Can!

I didn't remember this at all. A good DS9 book
November 1, 2024
It's a fine story with a compelling build, but left an unsatisfactory feeling at the end for me, like I was hungry for a little more depth in the who and the why.

A pretty basic Star Trek book. I was hoping this would deal with the Borg a lot more, but Wolf 359 is barely mentioned.
October 3, 2013
Although the main story in the book focuses on the events of Sisko escorting his old crew mates to the launching of the new Saratoga I found the story of Odo and Quark a much more entertaining read. Let me first address the Sisko storyline.
After the events at Wolf 359, where the Borg attacked the Federation with the aid of Captain Jean-luc Picard of the USS Enterprise, and where Sisko lost his wife in the Saratoga's destruction, the old crew is brought back together to witness the launch of the new Saratoga. While in transit from DS9 to the shipyard at Mars, the Defiant is victim to acts of sabotage by an unknown perpetrator. While Sisko and the team investigate the events, the old crewmates and the DS9 crew bump heads until the villain is captured.
Although some aspects of the storyline above are compelling and entertaining I found some of it to be a little bland and at times out of character for some of those people portrayed in the show. One scene where Dax and the counselor get into and argument on the bridge of the Defiant seemed very poorly written and was not even remotely reflective of the professionalism found on the bridge. I also was disappointed in how the Defiant was steered into a energy wave flying through space. The whole nexus/genesis wave is so over played it has become a crutch by many authors who can't imagine something better to come up with.
The better storyline in the book follows Quarks need to get a new power source for Major Kira and the Bajoran people who risk massive flooding if the water pumps on the planet are not restored. The idea of Odo taking the shape of Quark in order to see the deal through after Quark gets sick is very good and entertaining. Watching the events around that storyline is great writing and reading, very fun indeed.
The book is well written. The story is very good. The characters are true to nature, for the most part, and the dialogue and personalities are conveyed just as they are in the show.
Recommended.

2023 Review 100. Star Trek Deep Space Nine #18 Saratoga by Michael Jan Friedman
Page Count : 275 (169 read in October)
The historian's note in this book says that this story is set between the third and fourth season of Star Trek Deep Space Nine. The USS Defiant has been assigned to the station to protect it from the Dominion.
This book expands on the crew of the USS Saratoga seen at the start of the 1st episode of the series Emissary.
Captain Sisko and the crew of Deep Space Nine have been ordered to escort former crew members of the destroyed USS Saratoga to Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards to celebrate the commissioning of a new Miranda class starship, the USS Saratoga NCC-31911-A.
Unfortunately, one of the Saratoga's crewmembers has another plan in mind.
There is a 'B' plot involving a city on Bajor which requires a specific component to keep it from flooding. This involves a contact of Quark's and a special mission for Oda.
This is one of only a few Deep Space Nine novels I've ever read and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have a few more numbered novels and unnumbered novels to read before I have no more Deep Space Nine novels left.
I will definitely reread this book in the future and recommend it if you want to see Captain Benjamin Sisko working with a group of different people alongside some of the usual crew of Deep Space Nine.
5*

June 6, 2016
Captain Sisko’s wife was killed along with others when they were serving on the U. S. S. Saratoga during the titanic battle with the Borg at Wolf 359. Those painful memories are reawakened when the other survivors of the battle arrive to be taken to a ceremony where a new Saratoga is being launched.
What should have been a routine journey aboard the Defiant turns potentially deadly when they inadvertently are captured in an energy nexus and the ship fails due to what is believed to be sabotage. Once again, the engineering team on the ship finds it necessary to create a solution to the failed engines before the ship is sucked into the nexus and destroyed. The problem is exacerbated by the reality that one of Sisko’s old shipmates and friends may be responsible.
In true Star Trek fashion, solutions to all the problems are found and the ship returns to the station, Following a typical path of many Star Trek novels, there is a second and distinct plot track, where Quark is to negotiate the purchase of critical equipment for a city on Bajor. This is generally a distractor, for there is no tension or force to this track and is the primary reason why I give the book three stars.

Oh, how I wish I could have enjoyed this more than I did...but there are too many obstacles in the way: (1) It's not as much of a re-run of Mr. Friedman's TNG novel "Reunion" as many believe...but part of that fact lies in the realization that it presents fait accompli characters who possess only a modicum of the depth & baggage of the old Stargazer crew; (2) the B-plot is something that reads like a left-over plot from the second season...too light & disposable for my taste, especially in contrast to the darker main thrust of the novel; (3) I'm not sure what is more frustrating -- the fact that most DS9 novels don't manage to adequately capture the crew and the setting, or the DS9 novels such as this one, that come _very_ close, but still seem to miss the mark. In spite of all these complaints, this remains a very pleasant & lightning fast read, but never threatens to become compelling.
July 24, 2010
It's an efficiently A&B plotted story. The A storyline - remember in Emissary when Sisko was still on the Saratoga when the Borg attacked and we saw the crew running around trying to abandon ship? Now we finally get to meet some of that crew! With the new Saratoga about to be christened, several of the survivors arrive at Deep Space Nine to travel together on the Defiant to the Utopia Planitia Shipyards. Meanwhile in the B storyline, Kira needs a favor from Quark, but who will help when Quark can't?
I'm not sure what it is, but there is something lacking in this book. Part of the story becomes a mystery and plot wise it is satisfying. I really don't have any complaints about the book or the characterizations, but it seemed to lack a certain pizazz that would have earned it 4 stars.

Třetí hvězdička je čistě jen kvůli tomu, že znám (a mám ráda) Star Trek. Tím pádem nepotřebuji prokreslené postavy ani prostředí, protože oboje už mám v hlavě na základě jiných knížek a seriálů ze ST universa. Bez této znalosti bych měla problém knížku dočíst.
Zápletka silně připomíná jinou ST knížku stejného autora (Reunion, česky Smrtelné ohrožení), která ale měla rozhodně větší šmrnc. V Saratoze se půl knížky nic neděje, jen se představují kulisy a postavy (stále při zachování jisté dvourozměrnosti obojího). Pak přijde zvrat... a pomalý dojezd směrem bezpečný přístav a morální ponaučení.
Vedlejší linie (Quark, Rom, Odo) působí jako náhodně přilepená, aby knížka nebyla příliš útlá. Přitom v jejím jádru se skrývá dobrý nápad (Odo se vydává za Quarka), který by si zasloužil lepší rozpracování (a trochu logičtější Odovu motivaci).

There's another Star Trek novel called "Reunion" by Michael Jan Friedman with a similar plot. In Reunion, Captain Jean-Luc Picard's old shipmates from the USS Stargazer arrive on board the USS Enterprise-D. Unexplained events and sabotage have former and current crew thrown together and all of the former crew have secrets of their own. In "Saratoga", Sisko's former and current crew are thrown together and the former crew have secrets of their own. Similar premise, but IMHO, the events of "Reunion" are far more compelling and the secrets much more deadly.
If you like this type of premise - reunion of former friends and crew each with dark secrets, read "Reunion" and skip "Saratoga."

Holy Crap! This was absolutely off-the-wall fantastic. This is easily in my top three favorites, if not my favorite DS9 novel read so far. To begin, the characters are perfectly adapted to the novel and captured within the intensity of this plot. Especially Captain Sisko as he takes command as always and faces down the conspiracy at hand. Which brings me to the wonderfully written plot which weaves a conspiracy tale that avoids becoming cliched and boring. All together this is so brilliant it is a shame it wasn't able to be visualized by the cast of DS9. MUST MUST READ!!!!!
December 6, 2012
I'm not quite sure what the purpose of putting out this book was. Sisko's days on the *Saratoga* were never talked up as somehow legendary and daring as were the adventures of Picard on the *Stargazer*. His former crewmates were rather bland (well, Zar the Bolian had a least a spark of life about him), and the big mystery of the saboteur was so contrived. And don't even get me started on the B plot....
April 15, 2014
Another okay read. Sisko reunites with former crewmates from the Saratoga, and en route to a Starfleet ceremony one of them sabotages the Defiant, putting the rest of the people on board in mortal danger. Meanwhile back on DS9, Odo gets roped into impersonating Quark to do a favour for Kira... Entertaining enough, but nothing memorable.
August 22, 2012
A decent book, very much like a TV episode. Sisko's old crew get together to go to the renaming of a new Saratoga. Meanwhile Odo is helping out Kira. The characterisations are good and you can see the action.
