I loved the first story about Ferenginar, as it incorporates all the wacky melodrama and absurd world-building of Ferengi on the show. I think every Ferengi ever mentioned on ds9 shows up in the book at some point. Serious things happen, but everyone involved is so ridiculous nothing's treated all that seriously. Great fun.
The second one about the Dominion brings up a lot of the egregious plot holes and questions that arose from the show, as well as continuing storylines from the relaunch. It was nice to see those questions asked, although the answers provided in this story pretty much all fell flat (the idea that the Founders suddenly have their own god is a silly retcon), and then to top it off the ending felt both unfinished and depressing.

Keith R. A. DeCandido takes us to Feringinar with Quark and Ro Laren, then David R. George III offers a tale about Odo, Taran’atar, and the Dominion. While not as compelling as other books in this series, Niners should read this books to keep up with the ongoing relaunch.

I would say this is easily the best book of the 3 part series and certainly finishes with the most consequence

The fun tone of a Ferengi story complements the ominous tone of the Dominion tale perfetly.
