Publisher's description
From the back cover: While a crucial peace conference fills Deep Space Nine with rumors of intrigue and conspiracy, Major Kira and Lt. Commander Worf embark on a dangerous undercover mission deep in the heart of the Gamma Quadrant. Their mission: to find the secret of the addictive substance that the Changelings use to control their Jem'Hadar warriors. But how long can Worf and Kira remain undetected in the midst of the Dominion? Odo may be their only hope; but to save them, he'll have to stand against his own people.

Information
- "The Heart of the Warrior" marks the first appearance of Worf in a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel, not counting the novelization of "The Way of the Warrior".
- The historian's note gives the novels name as The Trojan Spaceship.
- In Voyages of Imagination, John Gregory Betancourt states that he considers The Heart of the Warrior to be his best novel. Parts of it were later contradicted in DS9 itself.
Related stories
- The Changeling characters recall the events of "The Adversary", where Odo became the first Changeling to kill another.
- Sisko recalls the events of "Homefront" and Paradise Lost", especially the bombing of the conference and believing his own father was a Changeling.
