Books like Star Trek Deep Space Nine - The Laertian Gamble by Robert Sheckley
When a mysterious alien woman from the planet Laertes persuades Dr. Bashir to gamble for her at Quark's gaming tables, the stakes appear innocuous. However, each win unleashes a cascade of calamities—ore ships vanish, planetary atmospheres are lost, and suns go nova—an effect explained only by the strange Laertian science of Complexity Theory.
Faced with escalating catastrophes, Bashir attempts to quit, but a Laertian warfleet forces him to continue. Meanwhile, on Laertes Major Kira and Science Officer Dax must navigate chaos and danger to devise a plan that will halt the Laertians and save Deep Space Nine and the Federation from utter destruction.

Business is down at Quark's Public House, Café, Gaming Emporium, Holosuite Arcade, and Ferengi Embassy to Bajor. Way down. Lower level of hell down. The station is bustling, but residents and visitors are spending more time (and latinum) at the new Deep Space 9's park, sports fields, theater, swimming complex, and who knows what else, than they are at Quark's establishment. All of Quark's misfortunes just could be reversed, however, when he finds out that one of the steamiest holonovels to hit the Alpha Quadrant in years is up for grabs. And he has an inroad to acquiring it before anyone else. Or does he?
