Taken from a post of mine in another thread...
If you're interested in the post-series DS9 novels (commonly called the DS9 Relaunch), it's generally recommended that you read them in publishing order.
After the launch of the Typhon Pact series, the exact definition of what is and is not a DS9 Relaunch novel gets a bit muddled, since "Typhon Pact" is the series header they're using for several DS9 and TNG novels. But I'm included TYP novels that seem relevant to the DS9 storyline to me. I'm also including novels that heavily feature major DS9 characters, such as the Destiny trilogy.

ryan123450, you should really edit your post so that RBoE. ZSG, PoN, and RtD are bolded because they are central to the DS9 Relaunch, with ZSG even having the tag 'The saga of Deep Space Nine will continue' attached to its final page.
I debated bolding things in that section, but I couldn't decide what not to bold. Paths of Disharmony is central to the Shar storyline, but isn't even a DS9 book, and if ZSG is a bold why not Destiny and ASD. So I just left them all.
Using Turtletrekker's meticulously researched "Charting the Novel-verse" thread as a guideline, I've put together a Primary and Secondary "Core Continuity" listing for the DS9 Relaunch, as well as a list of works which have connections to it:

Assuming you're referring to The 34th Rule by David R. George III and Armin Shimmerman and to Ferenginar: Satisfaction is Not Guaranteed by Keith R.A. DeCandido?
Yes. Yes, they are.
