Wrath of the Prophets is a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel by Peter David, Michael Jan Friedman and Robert Greenberger. It was published in April 1997. Major Kira works with Maquis leader Ro Laren when a disease hits the people of Bajor. Captain Sisko enlists Quark to investigate an Orion connection to the disease.
Description[]
- From the back cover
- When a fatal disease spreads over Bajor, threatening the entire planet with extinction, Captain Sisko must accept aid from an unexpected source: Ro Laren, Starfleet officer turned Maquis renegade. Major Kira and Ro reluctantly join forces to track the alien plague to its source — even as the disease claims new victims on Deep Space 9 itself. Doctor Bashir struggles to find a cure, but the secret of the virulent invader may hide deep in the shadows of Dax's past.

- Varis Sul, as well as the Paqu and the Navot, had previously appeared in "The Storyteller".
- Kira recalls the aliens who took the appearances of Buck Bokai, among others, in "If Wishes Were Horses".
- Kai Winn recalls the events of "In the Hands of the Prophets", "The Circle" and "The Siege".
- In chapter 3, Keiko O'Brien and Molly return from the agrobiology expedition on Bajor which began in "The House of Quark" only to go to another expedition one day later. Keiko will eventually return pregnant in "Accession".
- In the novel Kira goes on a mission together with Ro Laren and they don't get along because Kira resents the fact that Ro joined Starfleet and abandoned Bajor during its occupation. In Chapter 5 they discuss the possibility that Ro could have ended up in Kiras place: Kira looked at her. "Ro Laren on Deep Space Nine instead of me. That's laughable." This is a nod to the fact that Ro was originally planned to be part of the main cast of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine instead of Nana Visitor as Kira but Michelle Forbes turned down the role.
