    So this particular novel ends on a cliff hanger and mentions being continued in a DS9 book in the future.

    Which book (if any) picks up where this one left off story wise with Bashir, Sarina and Section 31?

    The other Typhon Pack novels don't seem to be related to this particular ending.

    I can't for the life of me figure it out and have been trying to track down where I can pick up that story line.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    It's part of the Julian Bashir spy cycle:
    Other related titles (not featuring Bashir) include:
    The ideal reading order on these stories would be:
    Section 31: Abyss
    Mirror Universe: Rise Like Lions
    Typhon Pact: Zero Sum Game
    Cold Equations, Book II: Silent Weapons
    The Fall, Book III: A Ceremony of Losses
    Section 31: Disavowed

    The storyline is also mentioned, although not really dealt with in any depth, in the non-Mack Typhon Pact books Plagues of Night and Raise the Dawn, which fall in between Zero Sum Game and A Ceremony of Losses (kinda-sorta-ish - ZSG actually takes place "off-screen" during the opening chapters of PoN).

    Spoilers at those links, btw.

    Thank you both for the information. That makes things much easier.

    I've gone ahead and ordered the last couple books I'm missing in the Typhon Pact series + The Cold Equations Trilogy + The entire The Fall series.

    I already have Section 31: Disavowed which I neglected to mention, but haven't read it because I noticed I was missing a giant gap in time with regards to other books.

    I never figured the Julian Bashir story line would pickup inside another series of books.

    Anyways, I'm looking forward to reading all these now. I've enjoyed everything you (David Mack) have written to this point, so I'm sure I won't be disappointed with what's to come.
