I finished reading the final installment of the DS9 book's eight book story arc tonight and am happily amazed. It's characterizations (in all the books) has been very true to the series and would have been an excellent eighth season after the Dominion War.
For those that have been waiting (as I have) all year for Unity to come out, it resolves all the plot threads from the previous books (including why Weyoun was SO conviently there to rescue Jake Wex and Opaka) and starts new character based plot threads for when they decide to make more books. The book is not "to be continued" so it'll probably be a while before we see anything though.
These are some of the only truly great Star Trek novels I've read (I have gripes with character aspects in almost all the TNG stuff) and I really reccomend them.
Anyone else read this yet?

Yes. I agree totally, and I can't wait for the next books in the story (the three "Worlds of Deep Space Nine" dual novels) to come out.
Actually, I've found the majority of books that have come out since the end of DS9 to be of superior quality.
Check out JG Hertzler (Martok)'s "Left Hand of Destiny" Duology, as well as the new "IKS Gorkon" series by Keith R.A. DeCandido, and the "Lost Era" books.
