 Devil in the Sky is a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel by Greg Cox and John Gregory Betancourt. It was published in June 1995, as the eleventh book in Pocket Books' series of numbered DS9 novels. The novel features Horta, in the form of Ttan and her children; Ttan is kidnapped by a group of Cardassians, prompting a rescue mission, while her eggs safely held on Deep Space 9, cause chaos when they hatch and the baby Horta start to eat the station. Kira Nerys walks her way through a series of airlocks to Docking Port 8 to find Dr. Julian Bashir attempting to chat up Jadzia Dax with his knowledge of Hortas, doing quite well until he compares a Horta to a slug, which Dax takes personally. Kira gets a call from Sisko, a ship is on an intercept course with the USS Puyallup, the three make their way to the new runabout, USS Amazon, to render assistance. On the Puyallup, Ttan the Horta tunnels through the ships specially prepared concrete filled interior to the bridge to witness the final approach to DS9. As they drop out of warp Captain Dawson points out the nearby moon, The Prodigal, which will be passing close to DS9 in the coming days. Then, the Puyallup is fired upon, and Ttan forcibly beamed away. The Cardassian ship also attempts to beam off Ttan's eggs, but they are protected from sensor lock-on, deep inside the temporary nest Ttan dug in the thick concrete. <...more> From Memory Beta's Featured Articles »
