Reactions and Reviews

The wormhole is deteriorating, and its death throes are tearing the station apart. Science has failed to provide a solution, when an aging (and quite possibly demented) vedek holds out hope in the form of an ancient prophecy. To save the wormhole, the three travelers of legend (Kira, Sisko, and Dax, of course!) must journey separately to different points in time to find, protect, and recover a lost orb of the prophets. My favorite of the three journeys was Kira's to a time of religious upheaval in Bajor's past. The portrayal of an ascendant heretical sect was an original and chilling extension of DS9 canon on Bajoran beliefs and culture.

Interestingly, "Three Travelers" came out in January 2000, shortly before the March 2000 release of Pocket Books' "Millennium" trilogy. Both tales are on a vaguely similar time-travel theme. I enjoyed both the pro and zine efforts, but while "Millennium" is quite the epic, "Three Travelers" has a definite edge in clarity and focus.

Overall, "Three Travelers" is a well-written, briskly paced adventure. If you're a fan of classic DS9, I would recommend you pick this one up for your collection while you still can.
