Double Helix, Book Two: Vectors

Only Dr. Pulaski can save the planet Bajor!

• Stardate Unknown
• Released June 1999

Like a strand of mutating DNA, a deadly conspiracy winds its way through the entire Alpha Quadrant, just as it stretches across several years of Starfleet history—even to the Cardassian space station that will someday be known as Deep Space Nine.

A virulent plague has stricken Terok Nor, striking down both the enslaved Bajorans and their Cardassian oppressors, who blame each other for the growing epidemic. Dr. Katherine Pulaski, late of the Starship Enterprise, must work with the tyrannical Gul Dukat, as well as a rebel spy named Kira Nerys, to discover the true source of the infection that threatens them all!

Excerpt

“Who are you?” Dr. Pulaski asked.

“My name doesn’t matter,” Kira Nerys said. “And I don’t have a lot of time, so please listen to me. I would like you to come with me to Bajor.”

Pulaski frowned. “I’ve already been through this with Gul Dukat. I’m afraid I can’t leave the station.”

“He doesn’t have to know,” Kira said. “I’ll smuggle you down there and I’ll bring you back.”

Pulaski held up her hand. “I’m sorry,” she said.

“No.” Kira clenched her fists. “I won’t take no for an answer. I won’t. We need you.”
