After Rising Sun there's the Gateways books. I think that's it...

How did the books have Opaka come back?

I had it all planned out how it would work in an episode. The wormhole would open and an unknown ship would come through and dock. Security shows up but Sisko tells them to stand down as a shadowed figured steps into the airlock: Kai Opaka horribly disfigured and tattered from her time on the penal moon. Basically, the idea would have been that once hostilities with the Domnion got going, they had brought her off the moon (they having been the ones that established the penal colony in the first place) and sent her to the station to do something e-vil.

There is a new threat called the Ascendents (zealots from pre-dominion days): one of their badly damaged single occupant craft crashed on the pena world and took the entire satelite network down with it.

I forget exactly how everyone got off the planet (it wasn't immeadeate) but the nanites seem to be dormant or gone.

Opaka goes off preaching peace and Prophets around the Dominion when Jake (and an alien called Wex) find her in the non-dominion part of the Gamma Quadrant and (eventually) retuen her home on the ship Jake is a crewman on (looong story- an entire book in fact).

The Gateways book -there's only one-thankfully!- that involves DS9 nad one chapter in the Gateways wrap-up book where Picard (yawn) saves the day/galaxy/universe...again.
The Gateways tie-in is sort of during the events of Rising Son- as are the three Mission Gamma books.
Jake is gone six months.

The Mission Gamma and Rising Son books tie directly together in their final chapters. [Smile]

I really wish Pocket would collect two or three of the Ds9 novels into hardcover anthologies: the book Unity was originally hardcover and it looks odd next to the dozen or so paperbacks that are before and after it on my bookshelf.

They did a good job of collecting the (excellent) trilogy DS9: Millenium into one biiig book so it's do-able..

I have a distinct lack of credit cards


In other news. I'd like to read the books instead of finding out what happens in them here [Razz]

Paypal won't work on Amazon. And he'll need a credit/debit card to buy used items from third-party sellers on Amazon.

Well, you can try ebay.

Well, if someone wanted to they could just write Amazon a check. I'm not sure what the big deal is.

Though I sure don't advocate spending money on Star Trek novels.

Again, what about money transfer?
Why don't Americans use the most simple (and cheap) method of monetary transactions - apart from credit cards, which not everybody can obtain?
You have an account, right? Just fill out the transfer form (online or in paper) click "Send" (or hand it to the bank clerk) and that's it.

Or even better, have it automated. At least at amazon.de you can allow them to draw the money from your account directly. Safe and sound. I have used this method for over five years and there was never any trouble. And for this you don't need checks, paypal, credit cards or whatever.

Why use something as outdated and dangerous as checks anyway? Everytime I see Al Bundy come home with his paycheck I keep wondering about the fascination of some people with checks. Then again, I work in a bank - in a country where checks are hardly used any longer... [Wink]

Hoestly, if I gave myself the ability to spend money over the internet, I'd probably run out rather quickly.

As for the reason Americans don't use money transfer... you'd have to ask one [Wink]

I've learned that just because one form of transaction is available somewhere, doesn't mean its available elsewhere. Here in Canada we don't have "check cards". It would be that Amazon.com and .ca don't allow the direct transfer dealy.

Do you have debit cards?

--------------------
Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Here in Germany, these are the five optional methodes of payment most commonly used:

1) money transfer (a) (buyer initiates the transaction after purchase)

2) money transfer (b) (buyer authorizes retailer to initiate a transaction automatically after each purchase)

3) credit card (retailer initiates the transaction after purchase)

4) debit card (retailer initiates the transaction after purchase)

5) paypal and other similar payment systems (buyer initiates the transaction after purchase)

What about cash?

In the U.S., alot of people use credit cards and debit cards. Debit cards are like writing a check and pull straight from your checking account. When your account runs out of money, you can't use the card anymore unless your bank spots you some cash. Using a debit card usually requires you to enter a secret code.

Checks aren't used as often anymore, excpet by the elderly woman who always ends up in front of me in the line at the grocery. Of course, half way through writing it, she begins looking over her receipt and discovers errors, then remembers she has coupons...
