I did NOT listen to the audio (Adapted) version of this novel. I read the book. My review will be on it.
This was a solid premise that was slightly lessened as the book went on once the MacGuffin of the plot was revealed.
Quark has purchased a Cardassian lockbox from the Gamma Quadrant. It could contain anything since it is over one thousand years old. However, if it's not opened correctly the contents will be automatically destroyed. Odo gets wind of this artifact and alerts Sisko, who has Bashir and O'Brien scan it. Since nothing seems harmful within it, Quark opens it in Odo's presence.
And that's as far as I can go in summarizing this book. What occurs is clever, and what most actors--I was told by TOS series writer Judy Burns ("The Tholian Web") love to play in a television episode, but how to evade such things is very clear and the ending of the tale is never in doubt. This is a heavy tale, heavier than any one episode, so it's pretty dark where it goes. It was interesting to read, but half way through I knew how it would end.
Still, not a bad read for fans of Deep Space Nine.

My only issue is with the ending having Odo unwilling to confirm Quark was telling the truth. Other than that great DS9 episode.
