* NotSoDifferent: Following his actions with the Romulans and the events of ''In the Pale Moonlight'', Sisko believes that he and Admiral Leyton (his old commander who tried to stage a military coup) are NotSoDifferent. It’s a source of great discomfort to him that Leyton was punished with life imprisonment, whereas he has gotten off without punishment; upon confessing to Starfleet Command, they think he did the reasonable thing.

A book in the Franchise/StarTrekNovelVerse, and a sequel to the popular ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "In the Pale Moonlight". It deals with Benjamin Sisko’s continued efforts to come to terms with the illegal actions undertaken in that episode. These resulted in a favourable outcome; the Romulans joining the war against the Dominion, as allies of the Federation. Sisko is in the midst of a personal and emotional crisis as he and Garak are summoned to Earth to take part in the first Allied talks to come out of the new partnership. Much of the novel deals with Sisko’s self-loathing. Meanwhile, Garak becomes a pawn in a scheme against a human political dissident, and Odo deals with an apparent robbery attempt back on Deep Space 9 -- which is not what it seems.

* BlatantLies: Bashir tries to help Odo by recounting a story Garak told him: an account of one of Garak’s previous missions. It involves the assassination of a Tzenkethi Autarch. Odo asks Bashir if he really thinks Garak would admit to being involved in such a high-profile murder. Bashir is forced to realize that no, he wouldn’t...meaning whatever Garak’s mission was actually about, nothing he’s told Bashir about the details is true. Odo then points out that this makes the whole story less than useful.

* BornLucky: Auger, a wide-eyed innocent youth serving under Captain Steyn. She has him on the crew entirely because he’s BornLucky (well, that and she’s quite fond of him). He has a natural affinity for gambling, and seems to somehow “tap into”...something...other beings can’t, so as to always win. Note that this is consistent with the TV show, which occasionally suggested luck was governed by an unknown force that could be sensed or even controlled. Quite why this boy has the talent remains unexplained. Steyn apparently doesn’t care, she’s just happy it makes her money.
