Star Trek Deep Space Nine
Diana G. Gallagher
- Reading
- If the peril feels intense, pause at the point where Jake enters the game and talk through what he knows and what remains uncertain.
- Themes
- Risk and helping others: Jake enters the game to try to rescue children whose minds are trapped there, risking being trapped himself. The premise makes helping others costly, but does not establish whether the story endorses Jake's choice or how it treats the consequences.
- Worth knowing
- Comas, minds trapped in a game and the prospect of being trapped forever give the premise a perilous, suspenseful edge.
