Day of the Vipers

By

"A seemingly benign visitation to the bountiful world of Bajor from the resource-poor Cardassian Union is viewed with cautious optimism by some, trepidation by others, and a calculating gleam by unscrupulous opportunists. What begins as a gesture of compassion soon becomes something very different. Seen through the eyes of participants on both sides – including those of a young officer named Skrain Dukat – the personal, political, and religious tensions between the Bajorans and the Cardassians quickly spiral out of control, irrevocably shaping the futures of both worlds in an emotionally charged and unforgettable tale of treachery, tragedy, and hope."

I've given the novel 2 out of 5. I absolutely loved the insight the book provides in to the Cardassian Union, the author does a fantastic job of putting across their perspective and justification for occupying Bajor. That aside I just found the book an absolute struggle to read through, with pretty much the entire story taking place on Bajor at a time when they had little knowledge of the wider universe and in my opinion things are pretty boring when the Cardassians aren't around.
