Travel to two of the most colorful and fascinating civilizations in the Star Trek universe with this collection of two sweeping and reflective novellas that transport us to the alien planets of Ferenginar and the Dominion.In Ferenginar, Quark’s profit-driven home planet is rocked by a shocking scandal when allegations that Quark’s brother’s first wife has threatened to overthrow the Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance, Rom. To make matters worse, Quark has been recruited by Rom’s political adversaries to join their coup d’état, with promises that all of Quark’s wildest dreams will come true if he helps. Quark must decide if the future of Ferenginar is worth his greatest desires or if he is strong enough to save it himself. In The Dominion, the Great Link—the living totality of the shape-shifting Founders—has struggled with questions ever since its defeat in the war for the Alpha Quadrant. At its greatest moment of intense doubt, its fate, and that of the Dominion itself, is tied to Odo’s investigation of his kind’s true motives for sending a hundred infant changelings out into the galaxy. As Odo searches for answers and takes a hard look at his past choices, Taran’atar reaches a turning point in his own quest for clarity—one from which there may be no going back.

The Federation is rocked to its core as the Typhon Pact is suspected of being behind a barbarous act that shatters the fragile peace of the Alpha Quadrant. An original Star Trek novel, this is part of a five-book story arc that takes place over a sixty-day period, but it is not necessary to read each novel in order to follow the storyline, which involves all aspects of The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine universes.
