When a troop of alien warriors demands the return of an imprisoned comrade -- a prisoner no one on Deep Space Nine knows anything about -- Commander Benjamin Sisko has a deadly fight on his hands. Under sudden attack from the heavily armed warriors, Sisko and his crew struggle desperately to repel the invaders and save the lives of everyone on board. Meanwhile, a strange device from the Gamma Quadrant has shifted Ferengi barkeeper Quark and Security Chief Odo three days into the future to a silent Deep Space Nine. To save the station they must discover what caused the invasion to take place, and find a pathway back through time itself.
For ages they have sought to claim our worlds. Now, at last, we take the battle to them. . . . Far from the Federation's desperate war against the invading Furies, the crew of the "U.S.S. Voyager" TM encounters something they never expected to hear again: a Starfleet distress call. The signal leads them to a vast assemblage of non-humanoid races engaged in a monumental project of incredible magnitude. Here is the source of the terrible invasion threatening the entire Alpha Quadrant -- and, for the "Starship Voyager" TM, a possible route home. But soon there may not be any home to return to . . .
They were creatures seemingly spawned straight from the pits of Hell - demons, zombies, fire-breathing imps - all too horrifically close to the stuff of nightmare to be real. But they were. And on the inhospitable moons of Mars, Corporal Flynn "Fly" Taggart, Earth's last line of defense against a seemingly inexhaustible supply of alien warriors, beat them back almost single-handedly.But Taggart discovers that the war had barely begun... for while he was fighting them on Mars, the hellish creatures had established a beachhead on Earth itself. Now, with the aid of a fourteen-year-old female computer genius, an unrepentant Mormon sniper, and the best soldier in this woman's army, Fly Tagart must defeat the invaders - and their treacherous human allies - yet again...
Jiana, hero for hire, managed to accomplish a lot on her last adventure. Indeed more than all of the heroes of Bay-bay and its boy-prince could manage. But life goes on after the adventure is over, and Jiana decides she needs something to give her life direction: she'll take on a new apprentice, and make a perfectly well-adjusted hero out of this one (since her last apprentice fell in with some pretty unsavory company).But Jiana couldn't pick just anyone: she had to choose a crippled slave girl. And everyone knows you can't free a slave -- slaves have to free themselves. So Jiana has a friend sell her into slavery too, so that she can teach this girl how to become a hero from the bottom up.For her first lesson, Jiana must free herself.

Now an elite Klingon task force has seized control of the station, and only Chief O'Brient, Dr. Bashir, and Worf are left to defend Deep Space Nine. But Worf's loyalties are tested when he discovers that the invaders include his oldest friend -- and his own brother!

Meanwhile, Wesley Crusher is kidnapped from the Academy by renegade Ferengi who have set their sights on the photon canon as well, and Captain Picard must outmaneuver enemies on every side to save Wesley and protect the Enterprise from the deadly fire of the new canon.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine #24
Kai Winn, spiritual leader of Bajor, has been a thorn in the side of Captain Sisko almost since he first took command of Deep Space Nine. So when Sisko is on an away mission with the crew of the Defiant and Cardassian renegades seize the opportunity to mount an attack to try and reclaim the station, Kai Winn may seem an unlikely choice to lead Deep Space Nine's defence. But for all her ambitious scheming, the Kai is still very much a Bajoran patriot at heart, and she would rather die than see the gateway to the Gamma Quadrant fall into the hands of Bajor's old antagonists...
