Back Cover Text
THREE HUNDRED FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS. NINE LIVES. ONE SOUL.

Mother, father, engineer, ambassador, scientist, statesman, serial killer, Starfleet officer: At one time, Dax has been all of those things and more. The near-immortalpart of a composite species known as the Trill, Dax is a sentient, wormlike symbiont joined body and mind to a succession of humanoid hosts, carrying the memories of each lifetime into the next. Each incarnation is different. Each has its own personality, its own tirumphs, its own tragedies, its own dreams. And each one is... Dax.
