Template:Realworld Within the depths of Deep Space Nine lurks a secret from Cardassia's past that could destroy the galaxy...
Summary
- From the book jacket
- What began as a sticky political problem soon evolves into full-scale chaos for Commander Sisko when a tomb of Cardassian soldiers is discovered on Deep Space Nine. While Sisko searches for a way to return the soldiers to Cardassia, the "bodies" begin to pulsate with life, determined to seek revenge on the enemies now occupying the former Cardassian stronghold.
- But as the soldiers launch their attack to cripple the station, and Sisko struggles to regain control, another old enemy plots to destroy the soldiers at any cost – even if it means destroying Deep Space Nine as well!
