THREE HUNDRED FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS.
NINE LIVES.
ONE SOUL.
Mother,
father, engineer, ambassador, scientist, statesman, serial killer, Starfleet
officer: At one time or another, Dax has been all of these things and more. The
near-immortal part 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 triumphs, Its own tragedies,
its own dreams. And each one...Is Dax.
Here for the first time are tales
from the lives of one of the most unique and compelling Star Trek characters
ever created, told by voices as diverse as the hosts themselves:
Steven
Barnes, Michael Jan Friedman, L.A. Graf, Jeffrey Lang, S. D. Perry, Judith and
Garfield Reeves-Stevens, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Robert Simpson and Susan
Wright.
Much more than an anthology, this unique collection of stories
weaves the tapestry of one being's lifethrough three and a half centuries of
history in the Star Trek universe.
Imagine who she's known. Imagine what
he's seen.
