Here's a look at the overview of the upcoming novel – set for release in May 2024:

2369: Shortly after Starfleet thwarts a Cardassian attack on a Federation star system, the Cardassian government orders an end to its fifty-year occupation of the planet Bajor. As a result, a newly installed Bajoran government requests immediate assistance from the Federation to mediate how the withdrawal will proceed and what recompense, if any, Bajorans are owed from their brutal oppressors. Captain Jean-Luc Picard is ordered by Starfleet Command to oversee these tense negotiations on Terok Nor, the massive Cardassian space station still orbiting Bajor, even as he still deals with his own recent trauma as a prisoner held and tortured by a Cardassian interrogator.

As these critical peace talks get underway, Ensign Ro Laren receives a call for help from a friend thought long dead, exposing an insidious secret from inside Cardassian space. Now, Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise must act to prevent an interstellar incident from reigniting deadly hostilities between the Federation and the Cardassians, and shattering any hope of justice for the Bajoran people…

Prior to Pliable Truths, little was known leading up to the Federation and Bajoran co-occupation of space station Deep Space Nine other than its history as a Cardassian outpost ran under Gul Dukat (Marc Alaimo). DS9 chronicled the struggles of the provisional Bajoran government and the uneasy tensions from the co-existence with the Federation as Bajoran Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) and her chief of security and Odo (Rene Auberjonois) reluctantly followed Starfleet regulations under the Federation protection led by Commander Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks). From Simon & Schuster, Pliable Truths is slated for release on May 21st, 2024. For more information, you can check it out here.
