Description

A powerful Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel, this science fiction saga explores the fall of the Cardassian Empire through the eyes of a man caught between two cultures during the aftermath of the Dominion War.

Rugal is a Cardassian orphan raised by the Bajorans, the very people his race once conquered. Reluctantly returned to Cardassia as a teenager, he becomes a firsthand witness to the collapse of Cardassian power—first under Klingon occupation, then through the empire’s catastrophic alliance with the Dominion, a partnership that ends in devastation and near-genocide.

As Cardassia fractures and its people struggle to survive the consequences of their choices, Rugal’s unique perspective reveals the political arrogance, moral compromises, and cultural blind spots that led to ruin. Yet even as he believes he understands the failures of his people, Rugal discovers that the Cardassian soul—and his own divided identity—are far more complex than he ever imagined.

Das ist innerhalb kurzer Zeit schon das zweite Buch von Una McCormack, das mich nur zeitweise fesseln konnte. Die Idee finde ich gut, das Schicksal des jungen Mannes weiterzuerzählen, den man in DS9 in einer Episode kurz kennenlernen durfte. Aber die Umsetzung ist vor allem in der ersten Hälfte so dermaßen zäh, weil sehr, sehr lange nichts Interessantes passiert: Wer die Serie kennt, weiß schließlich, wie es Cardassia - und den Cardassianern - ergeht. Wirklich spannend wird es erst im letzten Abschnitt, wo es um die Zeit nach dem Dominion-Krieg geht. Ergo: Ein gut gemeintes Buch, das aber für meinen Geschmack viiiel zu lange braucht, um in die Gänge zu kommen.
