Star Trek: Gateways #4: Demons Of Air And Darkness, Vol. 4 FROM THE PUBLISHER
Once they moved from world to world in a single step, through innumberable doors that spanned the galaxy. They were masters of space, and to those who feared them, they were demons of air and darkness. But long ago they left their empire and their miraculous technology behind. Now someone has found the key to it, and all those doors have been flung open.
A world near Deep Space 9, threatened with destruction from the distant Delta Quadrant, becomes the focus of a massive rescue effort as Colonel Kira Nerys, her crew, and some unexpected allies fight to avert disaster on a planetary scale. Meanwhile, as Lieutenant Nog and Ensign Thirishar ch'Thane search for a way to shut down the spatial portals forever, Quark becomes involved in a dangerous game that could determine, once and for all, who will control the Gateways.
FROM THE CRITICS
KLIATT
This volume concerns the efforts of the inhabitants of Deep Space Nine to deal with problems caused by the Iconian gateways. This series is interesting since most of the installments are taking place simultaneously but involve different Star Trek groups (except for the first volume, which was set in the earlier time of Captain James Kirk). Colonel Kira and the Deep Space Niners are faced with the task of rescuing the inhabitants of a nearby world threatened by radioactive waste that has suddenly come through a gateway. They also must figure out the source of the waste and stop its deadly flow before the planet becomes uninhabitable.
