About this listen

 An unique and intense tale following Elim Garak as he attempts to stitch the ravaged society of Cardassia back together.

For nearly a decade Garak has longed for just one thing—to go home. Exiled on a space station, surrounded by aliens who loathe and distrust him, going back to Cardassia has been Garak's one dream. Now, finally, he is home. But home is a world whose landscape is filled with death and destruction. Desperation and dust are constant companions and luxury is a glass of clean water and a warm place to sleep.

Ironically, it is a letter from one of the aliens on that space station, Dr. Julian Bashir, that inspires Garak to look at the fabric of his life. Elim Garak has been a student, a gardener, a spy, an exile, a tailor, even a liberator. It is a life that was charted by the forces of Cardassian society with very little understanding of the person, and even less compassion.

But it is the tailor that understands who Elim Garak was, and what he could be. It is the tailor who sees the ruined fabric of Cardassia, and who knows how to bring this ravaged society back together. This is strange, because a tailor is the one thing Garak never wanted to be. But it is the tailor whom both Cardassia and Elim Garak need. It is the tailor who can put the pieces together, who can take a stitch in time.

I really enjoyed listening to this book written and narrated by Andrew Robinson the actor who played Garak in Deep Space Nine. I like the way the book was written as a letter to Doctor Bashir and Garak looks back on his life and what brought him to this point. 5 stars

Great book written and narrated by Garak himself

I've always loved the character of Garak, but Andrew Robinson's interpretation of his inner life and history made me feel sympathy for him in a way I didn't anticipate. The book provides a deep insight into the overbearing mentors and unforgiving circumstances which shaped this "unfinished man" into the enigmatic and duplicitous figure we all know. Moreover, the book's portrayal of a remorseful, slowly democratising post-war Cardassia is extremely compelling. I hope that when we next see the Cardassian Union on-screen, the writers take some prompts from this book's vision. Andrew Robinson's performance is flawless as ever, and his impressions of various familiar characters gave me a good chuckle more than once. If you've just finished your latest retrospective of the series and have a DS9-shaped hole in your heart, this book is sure to please.

A must-listen for any Deep Space Nine fan!
