Rising Son: Star Trek Deep Space Nine FROM THE PUBLISHER
Months ago, young Jake Sisko came upon a mysterious prophecy in the ruins of B'hala, one that told of a Son destined to enter the Celestial Temple of the Prophets and return home with a lost Herald. Certain that the ancient text was intended for him, Jake entered the wormhole to bring back his father, Captain Benjamin Sisko -- missing since his final, fateful confrontation with Gul Dukat in the Fire Caves of Bajor. But Jake's quest has failed. Or so he believes.
Flung across the galaxy by a power beyond his understanding, Jake is rescued by a strange ship with an even stranger alien crew. Joining them on a voyage unlike any he has ever experienced, Jake learns that his search for the truth will lead him to find the last thing he ever expected, and to discoveries far beyond his wildest imaginings.

This unnumbered novel in the DSN series follows the adventures of Jake Sisko after he disappears into the wormhole on his quest to find his father. Thinking that he is following the prophesy that he uncovered in the ancient ruins of B'hala on Bajor, Jake is almost frozen in his powerless shuttlecraft deep in the Gamma Quadrant before he is rescued by a ship of treasure hunters manned by a crew of strange aliens. Jake befriends the crew and becomes part of their retrieval team until he stumbles across Kai Opaka, the Bajoran spiritual leader thought trapped in the Gamma Quadrant. This exciting adventure opens lots of new ground for the Star Trek DSN series and especially for Jake Sisko.
