Published Jan. 5, 1996 by Pocket Books.
While a crucial peace conference fills Deep Space Nine with rumors of intrigue and conspiracy, Major Kira and Lt. Commander Worf embark on a dangerous undercover mission deep in the heart of the Gamma Quadrant. Their mission: to find the secret of the addictive substance that the Changelings use to control their Jem'Hadar warriors. But how long can Worf and Kira remain undetected in the midst of the Dominion? Odo may be their only hope; but to save them, he'll have to stand against his own people.
This is probably the least compelling of the DS9 books that I've read. Still a good yarn with a secret mission to the Gamma Quadrant and a host of aliens who can more easily exist in the imaginations of novelists than on screen. There's some good material here with a planet in the Gamma Quadrant. Glad I read it, but not top-shelf Trek.
