The Siege (novel)

The Siege was the first original novel to be written about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Peter David notes he was only able to reference the series bible and first five episodes while writing the book, but made frequent phone calls to Mike Okuda to ask further questions about the show. The Siege takes place in early Season 1 of Deep Space Nine, probably shortly after the episode "Q-Less".

In order to save Deep Space Nine and stop the killing, Odo must try to destroy a powerful assassin who is the only link to his mysterious past.
