Revision as of 14:14, 12 March 2011
Template:Realworld Past, present and a nightmare future collide for Benjamin Sisko and the crew of Deep Space Nine...
A trilogy of novels, set during an unspecified span of time, reveal the past, present and future of Deep Space Nine, and go deeper into the events of the Cardassian Withdrawal.
Plot
While investigating the recent murder of an Andorian dealer, the crew of DS9 learn that Vash has returned to the station. She is apparently working with Quark and the now-deceased Andorian to sell an Orb – specifically, one of the three mythical Red Orbs of Jalbador, which it is said will destroy the world if united. Having discovered the orbs, the crew accidentally brings them together in Quark's Bar, triggering the creation of a red wormhole that destroys the station. The USS Defiant unintentionally engages in a slingshot maneuver that sends it twenty-five years into a future, where the Federation is at war with the Bajoran Ascendancy. The Ascendancy, led by Kai Weyoun, worships the 'True Prophets' from the red wormhole, whom the other Prophets broke away from centuries in the past. By triggering a subspace explosion, Weyoun is able to cause the end of the universe by bringing the two wormholes together. However, a temporal anomaly results in the crew of the Defiant being able to access Deep Space Nine in the past, both around the Day of Withdrawal – when an orb was first used – and when DS9 was destroyed. By subtly manipulating events, the crew are able to ensure that the events that led to them being sent into the future remain unaltered. However, they also arrange events so that the red wormhole is collapsed when a Klingon ship they had acquired in the future detonates inside the red wormhole, thus sparing DS9 and the Defiant and averting the timeline they witnessed.
