I think this is the one where at some point they end up in the vacuum of space without space suits and remark that it's surprisingly hot when they expected it to be cold. That little bit of physics thought experiment is the only thing I remember from reading this series as a teenager.

Why does every DS9 novel have to be so freakin' dark? This was good, but it also showed you the heroic tragic deaths of basically every person on DS9 except Quark. People joke all the time that they like to torture their characters, but this shit was for real.
This was an intense story involving the characters of Deep Space 9 and aliens from the Wormhole. The title comes from the deaths of all the major players on the station and how Quark manages to put them at risk and manages to save them. If you enjoyed the series you will love this story. The only problem with the book is that unlike the series everything reverts back to normal. In the series this story would have been an episode in a larger story arch.

I remembered bits and pieces of this book from back in the day when I first read it - it's definitely a Hitchhiker's Guide kind of vibe, with multiple in-joke SF references. The best thing in the beginning is all the commiseration offered Geordi over the death of his beloved (not!) professor.
Sometimes the jokes go on too long, but there is a lot to like in this jolly Trek romp. I'm glad to find where the line about "a broken chronometer is right twice a day" discussion was, one I've remembered for years.… (more)
