I bought the lot. Because I’m a little stir crazy (three weeks now).
I’ll return & report when the books show up.

DS9 - 'Second Season Cliffhanger' by Diane Carey
- Thread starter Kinggodzillak
- Start date
I wonder if it is a promotional slick wrapped around a previous DS9 novel, like a production sample for display at an international book fair?
Wow, I would've bet money that this was just a mock cover that someone on the internet dummied up. I've seen some posts where people replaced the genuine titles of Trek novels with humorous ones commenting on the cover art. This totally looked like one of those. Weird that it's apparently genuine.
No, same haircut. And very likely the same shoot too, as it was done during the filming of Emissary.
Clearly, the Second Season Cliffhanger features an adventure to the real mirror universe.
The cover of the Emissary novelization is similarly flipped.
Thank you! This is an interesting mystery.
Yes, hope I haven't wasted you too much money!
How about that. I might still have some donation credit at Bright Light from when I lived in Orlando. I don't remember ever seeing a copy of Second Season Cliffhanger, though.
I would have liked a novelization of "The Jem'Hadar'.
This is an interesting story.

I remember in the Okudas' 1994 first edition of The Star Trek Encyclopedia (which I think was published prior to the airing of DS9's season-two finale), the working title of the season-ender was revealed at the time to be "Dominion" (in an article referencing the destruction of the U.S.S. Odyssey), which then of course later got changed to "The Jem'Hadar" after the Encyclopedia went to press. Very interesting find.
I have a vague partial memory of the change being due to something in the UK. A company or politics or something. ...unless my memory is completely wrong, which happens a lot.
Yep. And it's reversed for some reason.
As to the book itself, I'm not sure what it is. I've never seen it before now.
OK, the lot of books arrived today. As KRAD theorized, between the covers is Diane Carey’s novelization of “The Search.”
It makes an interesting addition to my collection of Star Trek paperbacks. Is there another copy like that anywhere?

Does it have an ISBN?
Yep. Same ISBN as The Search.
Thanks for sharing that with us! Nice to have this curiosity satisfied. Let's see some scans, man! Have you read the novelization of The Search prior to getting hold of that copy? Congratulations scoring that book.
Nice one, thanks for letting us know! I was worried you might have spent all that $ for a book of blank pages...
Interesting little curio there. I take it it was some sort of advance copy?
As Keith said in post 20:
So it's evidently some sort of cover mixup where a leftover placeholder cover somehow ended up getting put on the actual book that superseded it. As I said earlier, an advance reader copy would be clearly identified as such on the cover.
