In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine— The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, series producer Ira Steven Behr writes as if he were transcribing the rules based on a conversation with Quark. This technique foreshadows that of Marc Okrand’s Klingon for the Galactic Travler, both of which imagine the reader as if they were a character in the fictional world of Star Trek and reading a guide book that could hypothetically exist in that future world. Writing in the voice of Quark, Behr states, “The book you hold in your hands represents the sum total of Ferengi business wisdom. All right, maybe not the sum total. I suppose if you want to be technical what you’re holding in your hands represents approximately one-quarter of the sum total of Ferengi business wisdom” (pg. v). The Rules, first introduced in the first season episode of Deep Space Nine, “The Nagus,” are 285 rules that govern every Ferengi business transaction and, by extension, their entire society. This book, appearing in 1995 between the third and fourth seasons of the show (and after the first season of Star Trek: Voyager), only contains 70 rules as the remainder had not yet appeared on the show. The subsequent series, including Star Trek: Enterprise, introduced new rules. In order to accommodate this possibility, Behr included pages for readers to write down newly-revealed rules (with the Ferengi admonition, “Don’t think this means you won’t have to buy a revised and expanded edition of this book someday” [pg. 83]). Slim as it is, this volume will entertain fans of the three 1990s-era Star Trek series. Though “Quark” jokes at the beginning to give it as a gift for “friends… and your family” (pg. vii), it actually would make a nice gift. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The Ferengi are greedy, avaricious, ruthless, cowardly and completely unscrupulous. For centuries the famous Ferengi Rules of Acquisition have been the guiding principles of the galaxy's most successful entrepreneurs. These 285 Rules of Acquisition range from, #1 "Once you have their money, never give it back." to #21 "Never place friendship before profit." These rules and hundreds more have taken many successful Ferengi to new frontiers of profit. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Quark deserves whatever afterlife he can acquire. ( )
