George III, published in 2017<\/p>\n<p>Kira has been gone for over 2 years when she emerges from the wormhole. She prepares to take up her previous life as a vedek on Bajor, but then runs into Altek Dans &#8212; the man she had a relationship with in the past when she lived as another person. Meanwhile, Quark has hired a private detective to track down his best customer Morn &#8212; and he witnesses the detective&#8217;s abduction. Meanwhile, Nog is trying to rescue his holographic friend Vic Fontaine from some hoodlums who kidnapped him &#8212; but last time he entered the program he was &#8220;shot&#8221; and now he can&#8217;t get back in.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually a surprising connection develops between two of the storylines. The story also involved Captain Ro Laren, Miles and Keiko O&#8217;Brien, and Odo.<\/p>\n<p>Like episodes in later seasons of the show, this feels like a chapter in a larger story &#8212; a great one.<\/p>\n<p>The previous novel in the story of the 24th century is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/star-trek-tng-headlong-flight\/\"><strong>Star Trek: TNG \u2014 Headlong Flight<\/strong><\/a>.
