DS9 relaunch placement/chronology questions

[phrog]

Just a couple of quick questions I hope somebody can answer...

I haven't seen Millenium listed on any Relaunch list or chronology, official or otherwise but I've seen it referenced as having a post-finale framing device and was wondering on the relevance and where it might fit well into a complete read-through of the DS9 relaunch, if at all.

My other question is the framing device for the Tales from the Captain's Table story by Heather Jarman, and where it fits chronologically.

Lastly, and sort of an aside... does anybody know the logic behind placing the Left Hand of Destiny books where they are in the editorially intended order?

Thanks a million, as always, for indulging my completist tendancies.

The original publication order would have had TLHoD out after "Unity", but the births of SD Perry and Marco Palmieri's children (not with each other) required the release order to be flipped. IMHO, it's better to read TLHoD in the originally intended order, where TLHoD would work well with the WoDS9 trilogy (essentially being "WoDS9 Quonos").

Have you picked up Voyages of Imagination? It has a complete timeline in the back, listing all novels and short stories published up to that point in chronological order.

In the epilogue of Millennium Book Three: Inferno, Rebecca is an infant, so it takes place at least a few months after the current DS9-R timeframe. But it also strongly implies that Ben is still with the prophets, which may or may not be reconciled with the ongoing storyline.

The framing sequence of "The Officers' Club" takes place during the events of Bajor: Fragments and Omens (prior to the chapters featuring Kira).

Many thanks. I do own Voyages of Imagination actually... and for some reason posted before thinking to look there.

*whaps forehead* Thanks though.
