Star Trek: Corps of Engineers: Wounds

The Star Trek: Corps of Engineers series continues as it follows the adventures of the best assemblage of engineers and technical specialists made up of extraordinary humans and exotic aliens that can build, program, and figure out everything from alien replicators to doomsday machines.

The Dominion War has been over for a year, but its legacy lives on. Commander Sonya Gomez, former USS Enterprise engineer, and her crack Corps of Engineers team on the USS da Vinci find themselves dealing with many permutations of that legacy.

Two mysterious murders on the da Vinci lead to the Gamma Quadrant and a Dominion base. A pre-warp planet occupied by the Dominion still has scars from both sides of that conflict. Plus, Gomez, computer expert Soloman, and Security Chief Corsi are haunted by demons from their past.

But the greatest threat of all comes from a visit to Deep Space Nine. A fissure has opened up between realities, endangering the very existence of the Bajoran system and also stranding Doctors Lense and Bashir on a war-torn planet from which they may never escape.
