My first review! These won't be in any sort of order by the way.

"The Long Night"

by: Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Rusch

5/5

Starting off strong! My favorite DS9 book so far!

Fun level: 4/5. Nothing insane happens but it's a really enjoyable story to follow. Never dull

In character? 5/5. Writers knew the character relationships very well. Plot Focuses on:

Kira, Odo, Nog & Rom, Nog Rom Quark and Jake, Jake and Nog, Sisko and Dax, And Jake and O'Brien.

Visuals: 5/5! Very descriptive. Settings are well established. Characters actions are written in a way that it feels like watching and episode, you can imagine the characters and thier mannerisms as they play out.

Can they write women?: 5/5. Well written dialogs, no weird romance or male gaze-y moments. Everyone has depth in this story.

Sci-fi element: 4/5. New culture introduced, writers explored material well. -1 for lack of depth into the society beyond government and religion.

Overall 5/5, no prior context needed beyond seeing at least up to season 4 of DS9. Tagged as many characters as possible lol

#OTD (Oct. 2) in 1780 British Major John André was hanged as a spy at Tappan, New York

Published by Author, London, 1782

Major John André was captured by Colonial militiamen in Tarrytown after his meeting with Benedict Arnold. He had the plans of West Point hidden in his boots. André was taken to Tappan and kept as a prisoner in what is today the ‘76 House. After a trial, André was sentenced to death for being a spy. On October 2, 1780 André was executed by hanging. His last words were, “I have nothing more to say than this: that I would have you gentlemen bear me witness that I died like a brave man.”

André was buried in Tappan. In 1821 his remains were disinterred and taken to England for burial in Westminster Abbey. Benedict Arnold, the general who became a traitor, became an officer in the British Army. Arnold died in London in 1801.
