In Warpath, Jem'Hadar Taran'atar has attacked Captain Kira Nerys and Lieutenant Ro Laren - and has fled into deep space, taking Ensign Prynn Tenmei hostage. Commander Elias Vaughn goes after Taran'atar and his daughter Prynn while the fate of Kira and Ro hangs in the balance.
It is sad to see Taran'atar return to his Jem'Hadar roots. He was a character I thought was becoming a solid member of the Deep Space Nine new series. David Mack seems to write all the stories that turn Star Trek on it's ear. As the crew of Deep Space Nine deal with Taran'atar's treachery, they do not seem surprised or disappointed as I do that he has gone and done this. Even though Vaughn is doing his duty to get Taran'atar, you could feel the love and agony he has as he searches for his kidnapped daughter and his wanting to free her. I was rather surprised that Taran'atar had kept her alive as long as he had as I suspected he would have used his Jem'Hadar logic and kill her once he got a ship to escape in. Taran'atar's conflicted torment was quite interesting as I think this is the most characterization I have seen of him in the new series.
