Author Jeff Ayers sent to TrekWeb the cover copy synopsis for the upcoming Star Trek Deep Space Nine Terok Nor novels, coming in 2008.

Before the Dominion War and the decimation of Cardassia . . . before the coming of the Emissary and the discovery of the wormhole . . . before space station Terok Nor became Deep Space 9TM . . . there was the Occupation: the military takeover of an alien planet and the violent insurgency that fought against it. Now that fifty-year tale of warring ideologies, terrorism, greed, secret intelligence, moral compromises, and embattled faiths is at last given its due in the three-book saga of Star Trek's Lost Era . . .

 

TEROK NOR


DAY OF THE VIPERS (2318-2328):


A seemingly benign visitation to the bountiful world of Bajor from the resource-poor Cardassian Union is viewed with cautious optimism by some, trepidation by others, and a calculating gleam by unscrupulous opportunists. What begins as a gesture of compassion soon becomes something very different.  Seen through the eyes of participants on both sides-including those of a young officer named Skrain Dukat-the personal, political, and religious tensions between the Bajorans and the Cardassians quickly spiral out of control, irrevocably shaping the futures of both worlds in an emotionally charged and unforgettable tale of treachery, tragedy, and hope.


NIGHT OF THE WOLVES (2345-2357):


Eighteen years into the Occupation, a new star rises in Bajor's sky. It is the seat of power in this system, a place of slave labor and harsh summary judgments, the symbol of Cardassian might and the futility of resisting it. But even as the gray metal crown of Terok Nor ascends to its zenith, ragtag pockets of Bajoran rebels-including a fierce young fighter named Kira Nerys- have begun to strike back at their world's oppressors, and they intend to show the Cardassians that the night belongs to them.


DAWN OF THE EAGLES (2360-2369):


As violence all across Bajor continues to escalate, Cardassian forces tighten their grip on the captive planet, driving back the resistance at every turn; but on Terok Nor and elsewhere, the winds of change are stirring-the beginnings of a hurricane that will alter the landscape of the Occupation.  And while secret dealings, shifting alliances, and personal demons buoy the wings of revolution, a mysterious shape-shifting life form begins a journey that will decide the fate of worlds.

You shouldn't post spoilers to unpopular books! | Report this post to moderator
By: Muldfeld (Odo's file, contact) @ 19:35:04 on Dec 07, 2007

Can I just say what a jerk move it is to rob something that sells so little as Star Trek DS9 books of their surprise by posting spoilers?

I think it's disgusting. The writers need the money and you're making it just that much harder. People will be less likely to buy the books if they already know the plot.

I despise all spoilers, but to do this to a books is beneath unjust.

    Well. you are wrong. These are not properly unofficial spoilers, but the cover copies made available to us by author Jeff Ayers and by Pocket Books itself. So you see, Pocket Books sent us this synopsis to promote their books. But your opinion is noted, and be sure we always posted spoilers warnings in the stories and headlines.

Plus, the covers are very nice. I am not a fan of prequels, but I will pick those. Sounds exciting.

    Since the relaunch, the DS9 books have never failed to entertain. I am looking forward to this series with anticipation.

S.D. Perry's DS9 novels have been great. I'm really looking forward to these.

    Yeah. Looks very good. Wonder how well these novels would translate to a television miniseries? I'd love that!
