What You Leave Behind (novel)

The Alpha Quadrant Alliance prepares a final invasion of Cardassia; Kai Winn releases the Pah-Wraiths from the Fire Caves.

Summary

 * From the bookjacket:
 * A powerful novel in the classic tradition of "All Good Things...".


 * Seven years ago, Benjamin Sisko took command of an alien space station newly christened Deep Space Nine. There he met Kira Nerys, Odo, Miles O'Brien, Quark, Worf, Julian Bashir, and many others who would touch his life deeply. He also found a new and troubling destiny as the long-awaited Emissary to the mysterious wormhole entities known as the Prophets.


 * Now, after years of triumph and tragedy, and a cataclysmic war that rocked the entire Alpha Quadrant, Captain Sisko and his valiant crew face their final challenge. No one is safe, nothing is certain, and not even the Prophets can predict the ultimate fate of Deep Space Nine!

Background Information

 * This is a novelization of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine final episode . The novelization is written by Diane Carey.
 * One notable difference is that the final assault on Cardassia Prime actually commences with a battle. During the battle, Odo notices that the Breen ships are vulnerable on their aft impulse manifolds causing them to retreat and leave their allies to fight on.
 * Another additional scene features Sisko, Ross, and Martok viewing the Dominion starships entering the wormhole. This occurs just after the Dominion surrender.
 * Scenes retained from the shooting script include Quark telling Worf he knows about the secret invasion after Morn revealed he learned about it from Admiral Ross. Another retained scene sees Sisko confronted by Pah-wraith apparitions of Jake and Kasidy telling him he'll be killed if he tries to stop the Restoration of Bajor.
 * An extract from this novel appeared in Star Trek Monthly issue 55.
 * Sisko makes reference to "the planetary service from which Starfleet had grown" and notes it had starships named Defiant.
