Stowaways

Brad Strickland Β· 1994
70/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

A brisk, faithful Deep Space Nine adventure that gives Jake and Nog their own genuine hero moment and even anticipated a canonical character trait later adopted by the TV series β€” a fun piece of franchise history. The appeal is narrow outside Star Trek fandom, but within it this delivers exactly what a middle-grade tie-in should.
