After the series ended, fans wanted more and writers wanted to write more, so Star Trek: Deep Space Nine continued in novels, comics, and ebooks as well as in short story collections, all dubbed the “Relaunch”. It was the first second generation Star Trek TV series to do so.
There are several lists of this across the web; mine includes ST TNG novels that feature or include Worf as a Federation ambassador that are not usually included in other lists, but since they touch on subjects the TV series dealt with, I’ve included those in this list, at least the ones up until he resigns his ambassadorship and returns to Starfleet.
Although many of the Ambassador Worf stories are under the ST TNG label, his ambassadorship came about as a result of his activities on ST:DS9 the TV show, so I consider those part of the specifically DS9 Relaunch.
The greater story arcs more or less self-organize into five blocks, which I’ve dubbed Seasons 8-12.ST TMU = Star Trek: The Mirror Universe
ST LD = Star Trek: Lower Decks
“Season 8”
(novelization expands on a number of elements from the episode and includes scenes cut from the final episode)
The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko:
The Life of Starfleet’s Legendary Captain and Emissary
(with introduction by Jake Sisko, conclusion
by Benny Russell. Jake’s intro relates
that in-universe the publication comes three years after his father’s
disappearance, without his having returned, contrary to the events of Unity and the Relaunch from there;
however the autobiography itself ends with the year 2375)
Star Trek: Tales from the Captain’s
Table, “loDnI'pu'
vavpu' je”
(features Klag, son of M’Raq)
ST TNG: Gemworld I & II
(Melora Pazlar, formerly of Deep Space
9—Season 2, Episode 6, “Melora”—and now on USS Enterprise-E, receives a telepathic plea from her home planet,
Gemworld)
Star Trek: Gateways #3: The Next
Generation – Doors into Chaos
(primarily TNG, but features several
DS9 characters and locations)
Star Trek: Gateways #7: What Lay
Beyond – “The Other
Side”
(concludes Doors Into Chaos, guest starring the Defiant)
Star Trek: The Brave and the Bold, Part 4 – “The Final Artifact”
(Klag of the IKS Gorkon and Picard of the USS Enterprise-D)
ST LD
s03e06 “Hear All, Trust Nothing”
(the USS Cerritos visits Deep Space Nine)
ST LD
s04e06 “Parth Ferengi’s Heart Place”
(features Rom and Leeta)
“Season 9”
ST TNG: Genesis Wave I
(first book of the Genesis Wave trilogy;
no DS9 figures, only in the epilogue; while not absolutely necessary for the epilogue, reading them gives
background for Genesis Force)
ST LD
s05e09 “Fissure Quest”
(features alternate universe versions
of Garak, Bashir, & Curzon Dax)
ST TNG: The Genesis Wave, Books 1-3
(trilogy about the Genesis Wave
wreaking havoc in the Alpha Quarant; while not absolutely necessary for the following, reading them doesn’t hurt)
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, “The Dream Box”
(play by Andrew J. Robinson performed
at conventions as Elim Garak with Alexander Siddig as Julian Bashir; first titled
“The Nexus”)
“Season 10”
This “season” is dominated by three crossover miniseries, opening with the final three novels in the The Next Generation miniseries Star Trek: A Time to… and its effective “epilogue” Star Trek: Articles of the Federation which set the stage upon which those which follow play out, beginning with the Borg invasion.(features none of the above, but it’s part two of the duology)
ST DS9: Prophecy and Change – “The Calling”
(sequel to A Stitch in Time)
Star Trek: Nemesis
(epic events which along with those in
the previous novels and the following novel set the stage for the rest of this ‘season’)
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2016 – “The Dreamer and the Dream”
(features Benjamin Sisko, Benny
Russell, Dukat’s return)
ST ENT: Kobayashi Maru
(prelude to the Star Trek: Destiny crossover miniseries, though on the timeline it
lies after Star Trek ENT’s “In a Mirror Darkly”)
Star Trek Typhon Pact #8: Brinkmanship
Star Trek The Fall #2: The Crimson Shadow
Star Trek The Fall #4: The Poisoned Chalice
Star Trek The Fall #5: Peaceable Kingdoms
“Season 11”
ST DS9: Rules of Accusation
ST DS9: I, The Constable
ST TNG: Available Light
ST TNG: Collateral Damage
(These two deal with the judicial and
political aftermath of the exposure of Section 31 and its crimes, especially
those during the Tezwa War at the end of the A Time To… miniseries, a story which stretches across both novels,
with two separate missions by the USS Enterprise-E that are carried out
concurrently. They’re included here
because Section 31 was introduced, in real time, in DS9’s Season 6.)
ST DS9: Enigma Tales
“Season 12”
The stories in these two novels and the framing narrative of the short story collection all take place in the 25th century and form an epilogue of sorts, a coda, you might say, of the story of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
ST SNW #9 – “Staying the Course”
(Toras son of Duras leads a rebellion
against Chancellor Worf)
ST ENT: The Good That Men Do
(tells what really happened to Trip Tucker, that he wasn’t killed as depicted
in the show’s finale “These Are the Voyages…”; the framing story is in the
early 25th century involving reporter Jake Sisko and CMDR Rom son of Nog)
ST DS9: Prophecy and Change
(though the rest take place throughout
the timeline of the TV series, the two-part framing story “Revisited” is the meeting of retired
author Jake Sisko and student admirer Melanie, only without Benjamin lost in a
pocket world; it takes place in 2442.
The short story collection, each written by a different author, as a
whole is cast as tales told by the elderly Jake to Melanie about his life on
DS9, a most fitting coda to the Star
Trek: Deep Space Nine story.)
