A prophecy leads Jake Sisko on a desperate search for his missing father. Instead, what he finds at his journey's end is totally unexpected... In the climactic closing episode of the final season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Captain Benjamin Sisko, his destiny inextricably linked to that of the alien entities known as The Prophets, was last seen plunging into the depths of the Bajoran Fire Caves, locked in combat with Gul Dukat. Although he appeared to his new wife Kasady Yates and promised her that he would one day return, his son Jake has not seen him since. In Deep Space Nine: Avatar, a mysterious prophecy sent Jake on an impossible quest to trace his missing father. However, instead of finding his heart's desire, Jake is thrown across the galaxy and saved by the unexpected intervention of a strange ship with an even stranger crew. Sharing their travels and their dangers, he learns important lessons about dealing with his father's loss, and about the truth of the prophecy that sent him here. In the process, he discovers much more than he anticipated; a revelation that will change the world forever for Jake, for Bajor and for Deep Space Nine.… (more)

I gave this four stars because Perry did something pretty spectacular. Not only does this book take several unfinished plot lines from the series and provide (in my opinion) satisfactory endings, it also opens a can of worms of its own and successfully puts all the worms back by the end! Very impressed.
I also felt that Perry kept the overall feel of DS9, not sacrificing a character's personality or fudging events to "make it work." The aliens were a little strange, but as for the established characters from the series, it was well done. ( )

So what happened to Jake Sisko? Apparently met a bunch of aliens that are unlike anything we have seen in the Star Trek universe before.

This book was not nearly as good as the ones S.D. Perry wrote earlier in the DS9 Relaunch series. Her description of the new aliens didn't really give me enough to understand who these new half man dog people were, it would have been beneficial to put the crew of the wa on the cover.

However the back-story to whatever happened to Qai Opaka is worthwhile. She reminds me of a futurist Pope Francis. I hope this sets us up for a great UNITY story, but we'll have to wait and see ( )

Self-realization is a comedown from salvation, but it still gives us something to hope for. - Mason Cooley

There had been a crack in the humidity mesh that shielded the Arva nodes, which, if left unchecked, would almost certainly lead to fuel dilution.
