About this ebook
Three hundred fifty-seven years, nine lives, one soul. Explore the extraordinary history of Dax, the beloved Trill symbiont from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, in this captivating science fiction anthology that spans nine hosts and more than three centuries of adventures across the Star Trek universe.
Mother, father, engineer, ambassador, scientist, statesman, serial killer, Starfleet officer: At one time or another, Dax has been all of these things and more. One of the most fascinating characters in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Dax is the near-immortal part of a composite species known as the Trill, a sentient, wormlike symbiont joined body and mind to a succession of humanoid hosts, carrying the memories of each lifetime into the next. Each incarnation is different. Each has its own personality, its own triumphs, its own tragedies, its own dreams—and each one is Dax.
Here are tales from the lives of one of the most unique and compelling Star Trek characters ever created, told by voices as diverse as the hosts themselves: Steven Barnes, Michael Jan Friedman, L. A. Graf, Jeffrey Long, S. D. Perry, Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Robert Simpson, and Susan Wright.
Much more than an anthology, this unique science fiction collection weaves the tapestry of one being's life...through three and a half centuries of history in the Star Trek universe.
Imagine who she's known. Imagine what he's seen.
