Star Trek: Deep Space Nine — Lust’s Latinum Lost (and Found)<\/strong> by Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann, published in 2014<\/p>\n

When Quark’s old friend Rionoj shows up on Deep Space Nine, she has a new holosuite program to sell him. He finds that it’s a simulation of Ferenginar, with a river of latinum — but it’s just a sample. He wants to buy the entire program from her, but she leaves the station. So he tracks down who he thinks is the publisher — they’re on Wrigley’s Pleasure Planet. He rents a shuttle from Wormhole Rent-a-Shuttle.<\/p>\n

This is a short story released only as an ebook.<\/p>\n

It’s a fun adventure with Quark and his new apprentice. The other characters on the station make appearances.<\/p>\n

It’s partially a sequel to the episode “Rules of Acquisition.”<\/p>\n

This is the first fiction book I’ve read by Block and Erdmann. They are authors of several nonfiction books including The Secrets of Star Trek: Insurrection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
