jazzypizzaz's review against another edition
3.0
a mixed bag, like any short story collection and with a couple I straight up skipped (wow do I not care about anything from Nemesis). my favorites were: about the Breen attack on Earth, the one with secret Romulan + all the doctors (they didn't forget Phlox!), and the one with Scotty and McCoy

This collection of short stories details events that occurred behind the scenes of the Dominion War as it was chronicled during the last two seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Characters from every Star Tek series except Voyager make an appearance, as do original characters from various Star Trek novels. Overall, it’s a welcome addition to the Star Trek universe. Stories that stand out are Blood Sacrifice, Mirror Eyes, and Twilight’s Wrath. Also included is a timeline by editor Keith R. A. DeCandido.

A very rich collection of tales. This work adds a great deal to the star trek universe. I enjoyed every story in the collection and was quite satisfied with the variety of perspectives presented.

Basically, this was a collection of short stories that filled in some of the blanks during the Dominion War, which we saw from a totally DS9 point of view. Some of the various stories were quite good, some not-so-much (always the case with short story collections), and, to be honest, a whole lot of these filled in gaps which were already known (ie: the attack on Betazed story was good, but we already knew everything that had happened - we merely got to read it in detail). I would have been happier with tales that were mentioned even more tangentially than that.
I did enjoy a revisit to the soldiers from the very gritty episode on DS9 where the soldiers had been holding a tactically important planet for a very long time, where Nog lost his leg. The tale picked up one of the surviving soldier's tales, and moved him right through to the end of the war and a bit further. Well done.
An enjoyable diversion.
