The book culminates with the signing ceremony as Bajor enters the Federation. All of the characters (and I mean all of the characters) from the series are present. Admiral Ross and Grand Nagus Rom and Garak (probably somewhere in the crowd) all help bring the book to its close and the eight unofficial season of DS9 ends. Bravo.
