Summary
Set after the series finale, "What You Leave Behind", these novels differ from other Deep Space Nine books in that they form a continuing storyline. Plot points include relations between the Federation and the Dominion following the defeat of the latter in the series finale, the rehabilitation of devastated Cardassia and its relations to Bajor, Bajor's admittance into the Federation, the Mirror Universe, and the renewed exploration of the Gamma Quadrant. Additionally, in the style of the television series, the books contain a large number of subplots focusing on the development of specific characters.
Following the production of The Soul Key, editor Marco Palmieri left Pocket Books, replaced by Margaret Clark, who commissioned the novel The Rough Beasts of Empire (part of the Typhon Pact crossover) set five years into the series' relative future, without covering the intervening years.

Famous quotes containing the word summary:
“Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
