Summary

Blurb
Someone is killing the gods... but while Benjamin Sisko and the USS Theseus have been facing the threats in the higher cosmos, very real casualties are growing on lower ground. The true enemy is a man, not a god, and Worf of House Martok has put together his own crew aboard the USS Defiant in the hopes of defeating the dangerous messiah behind a genocidal cult. Pulling from all eras of Star Trek canon to create something wholly unique and unexpected, Star Trek: Defiant unites some of the strongest personalities in the franchise – including Ro Laren, Spock, B'Elanna Torres, Lore, and more – on a mission with very little guarantee of success!
