Benjamin ’s Reviews > The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko > Status Update

There is a passage that is redacted and it is almost certainly the events of "In the Pale Moonlight" based on the context and reaction of it. The story ends by getting another layer of meta, being attributed to Benny Russell writing the whole thing.

Short chapters that basically give a summary of important characters and his personal interactions with them. Another interruption to the Prophets although he still seems to live inn linear time.

Basically summarizes many of the key characters and the first couple seasons. Going back, Sisko in this book was claimed to have been trained by Vulcan to control emotions but he is known to have emotional outbursts.

Much that was mentioned is seen but there are still characters shoehorned in (like Data really has no place).

Getting into things that are more established, although his promotion is a bit forced.

Seems to be quite a bit of current technology. Anything not mentioned in previous media seems to just be stuff we have today. Reasoning for not leaving Jennifer is inconsistent with reasons he left previous girlfriends as he would be even less likely than the others to be in same place with her. Another jump at the end of the chapter to the timelessness of prophet memories, with different font and perspective.

It seems mostly through academy and with all the name drops so far no mention of the most logical name drop, Boothby.

This chapter it seems the author wanted to incorporate a whimsical idea he had, but in order to fit it into established cannon, he had to redefine what Starbase meant, in every occurrence in Sci FI I have seen it means it is in space but he puts it on a planet. He does attempt to explain Sisko's hobby of building an old ship with Jake, as well as the name Defiant.

The story is from the perspective of Ben Sisko relaying to Jake. They do throw in references, like Uhura, Autobiography of Chrispher Pike, and Mr. Scott engineering, and Dr. Pulaski (who seems she would be a bit young). At this point story is interrupted with a travel back in time demonstrating the non-linear aspect of the prophets.
