About this listen

An all-new novel based on the landmark TV series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine from the acclaimed author of A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe!

Jadzia Dax has been a friend to Etom Prit, the Trill Trade Commissioner, over two lifetimes. When Etom visits Deep Space Nine with the request to rein in his wayward granddaughter Nemi, Dax can hardly say no. It seems like an easy assignment: Visit a resort casino while on shore leave, and then bring her old friend Nemi home. But upon arrival, Dax finds Nemi has changed over the years in terrifying ways...and the pursuit of the truth will plunge Dax headlong into a century’s worth of secrets and lies!

A worthy Dax Story

This book is set within the series of DS9. Dax goes on a mission to save a friend she had lost touch with who was in trouble. This story leads to revelations about herself including insight into a previous host that I found very interesting. I don't know how this book jives with The Lives of Dax novel released years ago, but it was a thrilling part of the narrative in this one. Overall I recommend it for fans of DS9 and Dax in particular.

Great story

Alex White should write all future Star Trek books. The story was better than most (especially other recent ST books)
and the narration was very good.

Very Good DS9 Dax Story

An entertaining listen. This continues the story arc of Dax from the TV Episode "Equilibrium" as well as others. Well worth your time if you are a fan of DS9 and all of the lives, even Joran, of Dax.

A worthy choice

I'm a fan of Alex White, and I live DS9, so I had to listen once I knew this existed. This book did not disappoint. The story was fun and the characters felt authentic to what I had seen in the show. The narrator did a great job with the telling and differentiation between characters.

More Please

I hesitated to buy this as it does not have the entire cast as it is focused on Dax. However, the story was excellent, very well written and kept me listening. Highly recommend to any DS9 fan. Really wish we could have more DS9 audio books.

Very Entertaining

The narration was great. Petkoff really worked to make each character unique. The first 2/3’s of the book was great. The final act was okay but not the really that interesting. But overall, the characters were true to their personas from the TV show and I enjoyed it.

Guilty Pleasure

Alex White wrote the best Alien franchise book, Cold Forge, which is why I picked this up. DS9 was my favorite Trek by a mile and I've rewatched it several times, but I'd never ventured into the Star Trek book world - when you get into the weeds of a franchise to the point you're reading the books, you know they're not always top notch, and many are downright cringy - but there's something about some franchises that keep ya hooked,

White actually writes good, page-turning, highly readable books, that are coupled with that franchise world. He has a real love and understanding of the source material, and that is clear here. He writes about food in such scrumptious detail that you'll gain 10 pounds before the book is over - but his real skill is in rendering psychopath characters into understandable humans. He does not make the reader feel positively for the baddie or even root for them, like many lesser writers do - he just makes you understand them with their childish limitations, impulsive behavior, and temper tantrums. Through his lens, he makes them less archetype and more human, flawed, embarrassingly unconscious of their own faults and limitations. Which makes reading about them and accompanying them on a journey of hundreds of pagers, more tolerable.

Joran Dax's story line was vague enough to be ripe enough for this kind of post-show deep dive and it's a tender sweet spot before Worf and Jadzia pair off. White also takes the opportunity to address the Kurzon/Jadzia creepiness that was passed over blithely in the 90s show and examines it through a post-me-too lens that integrates the experience without brushing over its awkwardness.

Overall I found this to be a very pleasant diversion from reality and hope to see more of these from White. I'm impressed enough to pick up his solo trilogy next that has no movie/tv show tie in.

a phenomenal addition to cannon.

I have always wanted a trill story and this one checks everything I love about a trek story.
