Star Trek: Holo-ween II

Chaos erupts on Deep Space 9 as Jadzia Dax is framed for murder!

Tensions are running high on Deep Space 9 when a peace summit is jeopardized by a mysterious mishap on the holodeck and an unexplainable communications blackout while Captain Sisko is off station.

Varela to make an emergency stop at the station—their captain is dead, and the murderer is on DS9!

If they can’t solve the mystery, there will be no survivors, and war may break out with the Cardassians once more…
