Overall, it was ok. Not a great novel but not a terrible one.
Quark, of course, is the main character in “The 34th Rule,” so it mostly follows him. The background is the Ferengi Grand Nagus, Zek, has acquired one of the Bajoran Orbs of the Prophets, rare, mystical items that are a major part of the Bajorans’ religion. Zek wants to sell it to the highest bidder, while the Bajorans feel that it’s rightfully their’s.
When Zek holds round 1 of an auction, the Bajorans’ bid isn’t good enough and he doesn’t allow them to participate in round 2, angering the Bajorans, of course. That sets in motion lots of political maneuvering and leads to a war. Quark and his brother Rom spend much of the novel in prison on Bajor, caught in the middle of it, and it’s up to Captain Sisko to try and repair the whole situation…
Being completely nonreligious, I was mostly unmoved by the Bajoran side of things.
The end of the novel sort of fizzled out…. With the real world Quark being one of the authors, you’d expect him to be more heroic towards the conclusion, but it didn’t turn out that way by the final chapters, which was disappointing. And there’s some hints that one of the other Ferengi who was imprisoned with Quark had deeper involvement, but then that didn’t end up going anywhere, either.
I was entertained on some weekend afternoons by the book, but that’s about it.… (meer)
