The Rundown: Sisko finds himself too late to stop a war.
An injured Sisko returns to the Theseus and discovers that his failed peace mission with the Tzenkethi contains a contingency from the Federation that could make matters worse. After Harry Kim destroys the Tzenkethi fleet, Data tries to prevent the Cardassians from finding out while Sisko returns to the planet.
As Sisko tries to stop a war, he finds himself dealing with an ambitious Romulan commander, a dying planet and the introduction of a new and dangerous weapon that could end the Federation.
The Story: Kelly and Lanzing bring some amazing drama throughout the issue. The tension throughout this story is amazing and continues to be incredibly compelling. Every plot element from Sisko to Scotty to Harry Kim is filled with great moments and work beautifully together to create a story that makes me excited to see what happens next.
The Art: Marcus To delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. The visuals are thrilling and perfectly capture the thrills and tension of the story.
