This was even better then the DS-9 episode it was based upon because the book includes more of the TOS episode along with the whole DS 9 storyline. Trouble With Tribbles is still my favorite ST episode because it shows that a genre that I absolutely love doesn't have to take itself so seriously.
This is a far more effective story on screen than on the page as we mix the goings on in the Deep Space 9 time zone and the original series time zone - Jadzia is correct in saying that the Original Series uniforms were extremely flattering to the male eye :-).

However, it is a brilliant book as well as Ms Carey translates the on-screen sense-of-wonder that Sisko and his crew feel to be interacting with their heroes.

One of my favorite fun episodes. Jadzia was the fan girl for us. The book included a nice introduction by David Gerrold on how the episode came to be.
I picked this up cheap at a second hand book store because I'd loved the DS9 episode. The book is a good version of the episode.

What can I say? A great novelisation of one of the best DS9 episode.
An excellent sequel to the original Tribble storyline
