In Purgatory's Shadow

I know that evil and war shouldn't get the top billing, but we must face the fact that while the galaxy is peopled (aliened?) by peace loving, hard working types, the ones who get the most attention are the bad guys: Klingons, Cardassians, Romulans, and now the soldiers of the Dominion. In this first part, Garak talks the Captain into allowing him to search for his old mentor, who may have sent a message. Had they not gone, they would not have been able to warn the station that Dominion soldiers were coming, en masse, to the wormhole and, of course, bringing death and destruction to the entire Quadrant. There are surprises along the way. Worf, who accompanied Garak, proves to be an amazing fighter. Garak, the consummate liar, finally reveals a secret. Also, there is something evil brewing at DS9. I am hooked.
