More books I have to read

ebonlockSo I picked up "Unity" this weekend, one of the DS9 novels I decided I needed to get through after finding out accidentally in the first "Worlds of DS9" novel that I'd missed the return of the Emissary. At the beginning there was a summary of all the stuff that had happened in the previous novels, which I thought I'd read most of. As it turns out, I'd missed some significant stuff. Really significant stuff.
The two things that convinced me that I need to own all of these books, however, was the inclusion of an encounter between the Borg and Dominion. My fangirl-ish toes curled at the possibilities there. And, do you remember an episode back in TNG where these creepy parasites tried to take over Starfleet by inhabiting the bodies of the upper muckety-mucks? A plot line that had all kinds of possibilities and was totally dropped and never discussed again? Well these novels brought it back, and it is a major problem for Bajor and Trill in particular. I'm like two chapters into "Unity" and already planning to hit Amazon and order all the ones I don't currently have in the series.
Gods, even in book form DS9 remains the best Star Trek ever.
