Here is the cover and a brief synospsis for the upcoming Star Trek Deep Space Nine novel titled Fearful Symmetry, a Mirror Universe tale written by Olivia Woods, on sale July 2008.

A surprising tale of doubles, secret pasts, and alternate realities. In our universe a Cardassian sleeper agent -- Iliana Ghemor -- was once surgically altered to resemble and replace Bajoran resistance fighter Kira Nerys. That plan never reached fruition, and the fate of the agent remained unknown... until now.


Robbed of the past sixteen years, and on the brink of madness, Iliana is back with a vengence. She has already made one attempt on the real Kira's life, then succeeded in killing Intendant Kira in the mirror universe, and now the heroes of Deep Space Nine must stop the false Kira without derailing the delicate flow of history that must unfold if two universes, and countless others are to survive.

When are they going to update the art to reflect the new author?

    Good question.

    This book was originally announced to be written by a new Star Trek author Leanna Morrow, scheduled for release in April 2007. The release was then pushed back to August and later taken off the schedule. In July 2007 it was announced the novel’s authorship had been transferred to Olivia Woods with a new release date of July 2008.

      Hopefully they'll remember to update it and not send it to press with the wrong author! Now that would be embarrassing.

      I might actually read this. I haven't read a Star Trek novel since I got put off them by the Enterprise books (long story) and I've never read any of the DS9 Relaunch books. But this storyline sounds intriguing. I hope this isn't the last we hear of the Intendant, though.

    Hey, just be thankful it's coming out at all. Aside from the author change (last I heard of that happening was with a Doctor Who novel back in the 90s when a writer couldn't make deadline so a co-writer was assigned), we also have Bill Shatner quoted as saying there were to be no Star Trek novels in 08 at all! :)

      I have a feeling that Billy is either FoS or that only applies to TOS novels.

      I noticed above that you haven't read the DS9 Relaunch novels. I heartily recommend them all, starting with the Reeves-Stevens "Millennium" trilogy.

    Yeah, but when is the mini-series coming out? :|

    There once was a man named Scorned,
    whose posts were more offensive than porn.
    He posted one too many,
    got kicked out on his fanny,
    and all the while he had been warned.
