Publisher's description

 * The third original novel in the electrifying The Next Generation/Deep Space Nine crossover event!


 * THE NEEDS OF THE MANY
 * Despite heroic efforts by Thirishar ch'Thane, the Andorian species is headed for extinction. Its slow march toward oblivion has reached a tipping point, one from which there will be no hope of return.


 * THE NEEDS OF THE FEW
 * With countless lives at stake, the leaders of Andor, the Federation, and the Typhon Pact all scheme to twist the crisis to their political gain—at any price.


 * THE NEEDS OF THE ONE
 * Unwilling to be a mere bystander to tragedy, Doctor Julian Bashir risks everything to find a cure for the Andorians. But his courage will come at a terrible cost: his career, his freedom... and maybe his life.
