This one has my favorite Gamma quadrant plot so far -- a strange alien mystery and character-driven. The station plot was more like a bridge to set up the final book, but still full of intrigue as it is.

I would say this is the best of the gamma mission books thus far. It felt like the characters we knew and certainly kept my attention better then the previous novel.

Cathedral mostly focuses on Julian, Ezri, and Nog's encounter with an artifact, which causes them to 'regress' to previous physical states. Julian is no longer genetically enhanced. Ezri's body rejects Dax, and Nog regrows his leg. In the background, life goes on on DS9 with Bajor's entrance into the Federation.
Thus far, I like this book the most in the Mission Gamma series.

The continuing saga of DS9 after the relaunch of the books in "Avatar," this quartet, called "Mission Gama," takes us even further into the future past the point of "What you Leave Behind."
Basically, the Defiant is on an exploratory mission into the Gamma Quadrant, and in its absence, the Federation is ready to grant Bajor membership status.
Things aren't that simple, of course, and the political tensions on Bajor clash with the theological issues brought up in Avatar, and Ro Laren faces an uncertain future. With all diplomacy failing in an attempt to make Cardassia and Bajor have any sort of closure or peace, things get even more tense. And in the Gamma Quadrant, the missions search for new life and civilizations hits a nasty snag that undoes Bashir's genetic engineering, and shows Ezri and Nog a life they could have led - without Dax or Starfleet.
