These Haunted Seas

Description[]

It is a time of renewed hope. As theUSSDefiant sails through thewormhole and charts a new course of discovery into the unknownocean of theGamma Quadrant, powerful individuals from distantworlds gather atstationDeep Space 9 to usher in a bright new era; with theDominion War now only a memory,Bajor is poised at last to enter theFederation. ForColonelKira Nerys,CommanderElias Vaughn, and all those who follow them, these are the voyages they were born to undertake.

But where they seek to go is defined by the journeys they have made before, and ghosts populate these unchartedwaters—the spectres of lost leaders, fallen friends, forsaken lovers, vanquished enemies, and earlier selves. Some of these shades drive the travelers on, others are drawn inexorably into their wake; but all make their presence felt, and in feeling, the men and women of DS9 and theDefiant must somehow navigate the perilous rapids of their pasts in order to findthe future.
