Synopsis

Continuing the Deep Space Nine saga—an original novel from New York Times bestselling author David R. George III!

At the end of 2385, in a significant shift of its goals from military back to exploratory, Starfleet sent Captain Benjamin Sisko and the crew of the U.S.S. Robinson on an extended mission into the Gamma Quadrant. Tasked with a yearlong assignment to travel unknown regions, they set out to fulfill the heart of Starfleet’s charter: to explore strange new worlds, and to seek out new life and new civilizations.

But now three months into the mission, their first contact with an alien species comes in the form of an unprovoked attack on the Robinson. With the ship’s crew suddenly incapacitated, seventy-eight of the 1,300 aboard are abducted—including Sisko’s daughter, Rebecca. But Rebecca had already been kidnapped years earlier by a Bajoran religious zealot, part of a sect believing that her birth fulfilled the prophecy of the arrival of the Infant Avatar. Does her disappearance now have anything to do with the harrowing events of the past? And for what purposes have these enemies taken Sisko’s daughter and the rest of the missing?

The DS9 series has floundered for a while as the station has lost so may of the people that made up the series. It’s unfortun......more

Goodreads review by Daniel

It features an amazingly complex cultural & technological mystery, as well as David George's usual excellent writing style...but in the end, this left me disappointed in a number of ways. I was looking for a much cleaner break from past stories...only to get half a novel going over DS9's past plot t......more

Goodreads review by Dorthea

Stop doing Sisko such a disservice. All of the books after the series end have severely disrespected this character. He seems to spend his time failing around without purpose. He deserves a better fate than this. Give him more important, impactful adventures that interact with other DS9 characters i......more
