Jim,
Just finished Disavowed and logged on to read your review. Like you, I had no interest in the MU and only read it when DS9 crossed over into it in the Kira/Intendant Kira/Iliana Ghemor trilogy of books. However, having read David Mack comment that Disavowed was a sequel to Rise Like Lions, I decided to buy that book and suffer through it.
Suffering never came into play. It ended up being one of the books I most enjoyed this year. I read the Memory Beta entry for Sorrows Of Empire prior to Rise Like Lions and that helped ground me.
If nothing else, I heartily recommend Rise Like Lions--a great read and a useful introduction to the current MU prior to Disavowed.
Finally, Disavowed was a great book and may just end up being my favorite Trek Lit of the year, though Acts of Contrition is a worthy contender.

Jim,
In the preface to Disavowed, it says that the new president pardons Bashir. I’ve read all the novels I can in the storyline, but I missed this. In what novel does Bashir get pardoned?

Hey guy, I thought it occurred in either Peaceable Kingdoms or in Disavowed. Rereading your question makes me wonder if it was only narratively told rather than dramatically revealed. Yet, I do recall there being more to this than a simple statement--the newly elected UFP President from a recently-rejoined-to-the Federation Andoria being highlighted.

I’ll have to reread Peaceable Kingdoms... thanks. I was hoping to actually read it in a novel, that there was more than a “By the way, we pardoned Bashir because we couldn’t be bothered to actually write the story...” because that could be a great storyline.
