"Blood Oath" features another Dax-centered plot, this one trading on the way time plays tricks on those who befriend the symbiote and its host. This time, Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) encounters a trio of aging Klingons that the symbiote had befriended when it was in its previous host, Curzon Dax. Curzon had sworn a blood oath with the three Klingon generals that he would help them avenge a grievous loss; an enemy known as the Albino had killed the generals' families during a war decades before, then disappeared. But when the Klingons locate the Albino and come to
DS9 looking for Dax, they are surprised to find a woman in Curzon's place--and it takes time for Jadzia to convince them that she should be allowed to fulfill Curzon's oath. She also must wrestle with the idea of hunting down and killing a man outside the arena of battle, which makes it a little too close to murder. Some enjoyable Klingon interplay and a nice
Wild Bunch sort of ending, as the Klingons take on their final battle.

From the Back Cover
Three elderly Klingon warriors arrive at
Deep Space Nine looking for Curzon Dax and are surprised to find Jadzia (Terry Farrel) in his place. The Klingons-Kor, Koloth and leader Kand (John Colicos, William Campbell and Michael Ansara reprising their
Star Trek Original Series roles)-are on a mission to fulfill a blood oath they made with Curzon to kill the group's greatest adversary, the Albino.
At first Kang refuses to let Jadzia participate, but after proving herself battle-worthy, she is allowed to join them, regardless of the consequences it may have on her career as a Starfleet officer. After sharpening their bat'telhs, the fours warriors set out to meet their cunning enemy in mortal combat.
