DS9 Continuation

[Captain59]

Greetings! I just finished watching Season 7 of DS9 and want to continue with the books. Can someone tell me the first book that continues the series? Is there a list somewhere?

Thank you!

 

[DimesDan]

Yes there is a list, I'm sure it is on Bing or Ask. As for the first book, it is generally considered to be Avatar.

@ryan123450 's list: https://startreklitverse.yolasite.com/deep-space-nine.php (you can start with Avatar there)
Memory Beta's list: http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/DS9_relaunch#Published_order

Thank you both!

The DS9 Relaunch is still one of the best things ever in TrekLit. I know that quite some fans feel it went a bit downhill after the Worlds Of Deep Space Nine series, but I still loved it. I can easily pick up any book of the DS9 novels for a reread.

I started reading ST post-Nemesis but then I decided to go back and read the DS9 relaunch so I would understand what was going on with the characters in Typhon Pact. I was really iffy on a non-stop 20 book marathon with nothing but DS9 (fearing I would long for character variety and get burnt out on DS9), but by the time I was finished I was super bummed it was over. I'm waiting a long while before I go back and reread it because it was just so great that I want to relive it as freshly as possible.

Like I said, I'm super excited for you!

If you want to jump right into it, I would start with Avatar, but within the timeline I believe Left Hand of Destiny 1/2, The Lives of Dax, and A Stitch in Time all fall between the finale and Avatar. I started with Avatar and still haven't gotten to LHoD or ASiT, but the Lives of Dax is a great read, but not necessary for the overall story.

But I am told that A Stitch in Time is also excellent.

A Stitch in Time is excellent. In fact most Cardassian books are.

A Stitch in Time is excellent. In fact most Cardassian books are.

Well, they do have a long and celebrated history of art and literature.

The Left Hand of Destiny shouldn't be skipped either. It's a big and great Martok story.

Well, they do have a long and celebrated history of art and literature.

And they've got McCormack to write about them. That's always helpful.

A Stitch in Time is excellent. In fact most Cardassian books are.

Personally, I wasn't that impressed by it.

Just watch out with "A Stitch In Time"---not so much for its story but it's 2 sequels. One appears in the anthology "Prophecy & Change", which follows on from a one-man play that has never appeared in print, and yet it occurs between ASIT and the P&C short story, and the short story relies heavily on the play.

Wow. I definitely am not going to have any trouble with summer reading. I just have to get through the series first. I'm just about to wrap up Season 3.
