Original Sin

By: David R. George III

Narrated by: Robert Petkoff

Continuing the Deep Space Nine saga—an original novel from New York Times bestselling author David R. George III!

At the end of 2385, in a significant shift of its goals from military back to exploratory, Starfleet sent Captain Benjamin Sisko and the crew of the U.S.S. Robinson on an extended mission into the Gamma Quadrant. Tasked with a yearlong assignment to travel unknown regions, they set out to fulfill the heart of Starfleet’s charter: to explore strange new worlds, and to seek out new life and new civilizations.

But now three months into the mission, their first contact with an alien species comes in the form of an unprovoked attack on the Robinson. With the ship’s crew suddenly incapacitated, seventy-eight of the 1,300 aboard are abducted—including Sisko’s daughter, Rebecca. But Rebecca had already been kidnapped years earlier by a Bajoran religious zealot, part of a sect believing that her birth fulfilled the prophecy of the arrival of the Infant Avatar. Does her disappearance now have anything to do with the harrowing events of the past? And for what purposes have these enemies taken Sisko’s daughter and the rest of the missing?

plodding

would have liked more science, less stories within stories. non linear time is hard enough to follow but with so many characters to remember I had a hard time keeping up. took 3 nights to complete, .

Liked this book

I enjoyed listening to this book I listened to it twice. Great performance by the narrower.

Parallels

Rebecca's youthful enthusiasm keeps the story from getting to dark; but maybe that the Avatar. Good story and narration.

almost perfect

My only complaint is the lack of any really joyful Ben Sisko moments though there were oprtunities for it at the beginning and end. Ben has to be very serious for most of both parallel stories but I found both otherwise totally engrossing

Favorite Star Trek Audible so far

And I have listened to a bunch. Miss DS9 that is for sure. And this book brings they story line along very well for Sisko and his wife.


Performance is excellent IMHO.
