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.

Andy Robinson knocks this one out of the park. Everything about it is fantastic. It isn't every day you encounter a novelization that so completely encapsulates a character. And not only that, but extends beyond the source material in such a thoughtful, intelligent manner. It's obvious Robinson is deeply invested in the character of Garak and this story exudes the sort of authenticity you rarely get in franchise media. This story truly is one-of-a-kind.

I absolutely fell in love with the deft way that the prose dealt with Garak's past, present and future. The glimpses into Cardassian culture before and after the war with the Dominion. Garak's training within the Cardassian State. His poignant friendships and rivalries. His early encounters with Federation officers. The light shone on ancient, cyclical mythology and the forebears of his people. All tied together and looking toward a future of infinite possibilities. So, so great!

Andy Robinson is heartfelt in his narration as well as his storytelling. Really just the cherry on top. Get this book!
