Post DW Deep Space 9 Book Series

[Commander Ramey]

Has anyone read these? Can anyone point me into a synopsis of what happens? I am looking at finishing up the DW with our group and kind of wonder where cannon goes from there.

True Cannon goes no where, the books are good however.

I recommend reading Section 31 (just so you know who has replaced who): Abyss, then the Mission Gamma 4 part series.

And you still won't unless you read Avatar books 1 and 2. They set up everthing that follows. They are all good. The Jake book is ok, but not bad.

I just read both books of the Avatar series and I am thinking about getting the Gamma Mission Series - I take it those pick up after Avatar?

Go look in the back of either Unity or Rising son (the last 2 books) and you will see the order the books are in. I've read them all except Left Hand of Destiny 1 and 2 and really enjoyed them.

I pulled this from the Trekbbs.com Literature forum.

This is a repost and update of a post in a prior thread. It attempts to place the relaunch and other associated novels in chronological order. Note that for the most part, it focuses on very tight links (i.e., "Cold Fusion" or use of relaunch-created characters like Vaughn and Jast) versus looser ones.
[*]The Lost Era: Serpents Among the Ruins (2311, due 09/03)[*]The Lost Era: The Art of the Impossible (2328-2346, due 10/03)[*]The Lives of Dax: "The Music Between the Notes" (Curzon's story)[*]The Lives of Dax: "Reflections" (Jadzia's story)[*]Prophecy and Change (at various points, mostly during the series)[*]Millennium (late 2374)

• The Fall of Terok Nor
• The War of the Prophets
• Inferno

[*]The Battle of Betazed (early 2375) [*]2376 (after "What You Leave Behind")

• The Left Hand of Destiny, Books One and Two
• The Lives of Dax (Ezri's framing story)
• n-Vector (comic book miniseries, reprinted in Other Realities TPB)
• Star Trek: The Next Generation #61--Diplomatic Implausibility
• Star Trek: The Next Generation #62/63--Maximum Warp (cameos with Defiant and crew--takes place during Diplomatic Implausibility)
• #27: A Stitch in Time (seen in Avatar, Book One)
• Avatar, Books One and Two
• Starfleet Corps of Engineers #6: Cold Fusion (reprinted in Starfleet Corps of Engineers, Book Two: Miracle Workers)
• Section 31: Abyss
• Gateways #3: Doors into Chaos (features some DS9 characters)
• Gateways #4: Demons of Air and Darkness
• Gateways #6: Cold Wars (shares a scene with #4, events in #4 affect events here)
• Gateways #7: What Lay Beyond--"Horn and Ivory"
• Gateways #7: What Lay Beyond--"Death After Life" (resolves Cold Wars
• Gateways #7: What Lay Beyond--"The Other Side" (resolves Doors into Chaos, and overall situation)
• Mission: Gamma, Book One: Twilight
• Divided We Fall (comic book miniseries, during Twilight, between Part One and Part Two)
• The Brave and the Bold, Book Two: "The Final Artifact" (timing as above)
• Mission: Gamma, Book Two: This Gray Spirit
• Mission: Gamma, Book Three: Cathedral
• Starfleet Corps of Engineers #29: Aftermath
• Mission: Gamma, Book Four: Lesser Evil
• Rising Son (beginning after Avatar, and runs parallel to the other novels; ends right before Lesser Evil does)
• Unity
• The Worlds of Deep Space Nine, Books One, Two, and Three (first one is out, 2 and 3 will be out in Feb 2005)

And there are more plans for more to come. It's a great series of books.

If you have a fondness for Klingons like I do, then read both of the "Left Hand od Destny" books, they are quite good.

I have read the whole Post Series it is good there. It can give ideas for one's own campiagn. I took some elements from the series but I like my own ideas, which matched much of the series. Anyone wanting to run a Post Dominion War series should read this series. It gives good ideas for your own adventures. They are not perfect but they do work.
