Book description
The Dominion War has been over for a year, but its legacy lives on.
Commander Sonya Gomez, former Starship Enterprise™ engineer, and her
crack Starfleet Corps of Engineers team on the U. S.S. da Vinci find
themselves dealing with many permutations of that legacy.
Two mysterious murders on the da Vinci lead to the Gamma Quadrant
and a Dominion base. A pre-warp planet occupied by the Dominion still
has scars from both sides of that conflict. Plus Gomez, computer
expert Soloman, and Security Chief Corsi are haunted by demons from
their past.
But the greatest threat of all comes from a visit to Deep Space 9™.
A fissure has opened up between realities, endangering the very
existence of the Bajoran system -- and also stranding Doctors Lense
and Bashir on a war-torn planet from which they may never escape.

"Star Letter: STAR TREK lives on in your local
library" [name of article]
"A lot of fans are going to
spend the next few years awaiting a new series. However, I have the
perfect solution for those who want their Star Trek fix-go to your
nearest bookshop and start reading the many Star Trek novels…I know
that some might say that novels are a poor substitute for a
live-action TV series, but I disagree. There's a universe of adventure
out there…What I'm saying is that the movies and TV shows are not the
be-all and end-all. I truly believe that if Star Trek fans were to
check out the many novels published, they would be very happy with
what they see and it would help pass the time until Star Trek's
inevitable return to the big and small screens."
