In the aftermath of \u003ci\u003eUnity\u003c\/i\u003e and in the daring tradition of \u003ci\u003eSpock's World, The Final Reflection,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Stitch in Time,\u003c\/i\u003e the civilizations most closely tied to \u003ci\u003eStar Trek: Deep Space Nine\u003c\/i\u003e can now be experienced as never before...in tales both sweeping and intimate, reflective and prophetic, eerily familiar and utterly alien. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CARDASSIA: The last world ravaged by the Dominion War is also the last on which Miles O'Brien ever imagined building a life. As he joins in the reconstruction of Cardassia's infrastructure, his wife Keiko spearheads the planet's difficult agricultural renewal. But Cardassia's struggle to remake itself -- from the fledgling democracy backed by Elim Garak to the people's rediscovery of their own spiritual past -- is not without opposition, as the outside efforts to help rebuild its civilization come under attack by those who reject any alien influence. \u003cbr\u003e ANDOR: On the eve of a great celebration of their ancient past, the unusual and mysterious Andorians, a species with four sexes, must decide just how much they are willing to sacrifice in order to ensure their survival. Biological necessity clashes with personal ethics; cultural obligation vies with love -- and Ensign Thirishar ch'Thane returns home to the planet he forswore, to face not only the consequences of his choices, but a clandestine plan to alter the very nature of his kind.","brand":"Pocket Books\/Star Trek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127370039536,"sku":"9780743493949","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780743493949_p0.jpg?v=1763635031","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780743493949","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
