About this ebook

THE TIME HAS COME...for a new era of exploration. With the Dominion War behind them, the crew of the U.S.S. Defiant journeys through the wormhole as Commander Elias Vaughn leads a "corps of discovery" to blaze new trails into the unexplored reaches of the Gamma Quadrant.
THE TIME HAS COME ...for a civilization to reach a crossroads. As political forces throughout the Alpha Quadrant intersect at Deep Space 9 to determine the future of Bajor, the planet's theological unity threatens to shatter. And for Colonel Kira Nerys, the path of the Prophets may become a road to ruin.
THE TIME HAS COME...for a father and daughter to confront their past while a mother and son fight for the future, for lovers to be tested and for friendships to transform, and for worlds on opposite ends of the galaxy to face the dusk...or the dawn.

    3/5
    This story could have got to a 4 or 5 star rating, however it didn't due to George's poor use of detail. He sets this in the wrong order. For example he spends two pages telling us how empty the walls in Commander Vaughn's quarters on board DS9 are, and spends the same number of pages describing First Contact with a brand new species unlike anything in Star Trek History. The story was good, going through Bajor possibly joining the federation again, Quark falling in love with Ro, and possibly being okay that his life is not as profitable as once was. Kassidy adjusting to life on Bajor, for the most part I found the story back in the Alpha Quadrant better than that in the Gamma quadrant, which surprised me about a book titled "Mission Gamma" but I'm okay with that. The book begins with an attack by a species I wasn't familiar with which made me think I had to read the Gateways books first. However that particular part of the story wasn't really relevant to the rest. However, I'm still glad I did break and read Gateways. The character development between Vaughn and Prynn was interesting to say the least and Shar with his "bond mates" I hope we get more stories involving the Vahni(first contact species mentioned above) and I hope that Geroge gets less wordy so that I actually want to keep reading for the sake of reading, and not just because I'm out of renewals on my library book.
