Now this, yes. This is the sort of novel to get my teeth into! I have added Zero Sum Game to my reading list before I manage to get to the new Section 31 novel, so one day...

I did find that Unverzagt reminded me in speech patern of Picard, which is perhaps unfair as he is a character we aren't meant to like. But then again Ezri being so timid, at least at the beginning, seems atypical, and so I guess these things slide in and aren't really meant to derail us. The story zipped along nicely, even being very unfamiliar with the Andorian government and political structure didn't detract and I really enjoyed the whole thing.
