Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Jamie on September 26, 2019

This is essentially the autobiography of Garak from Star Trek Deep Space Nine, as told by Andrew J. Robinson, the actor who portrayed the infamous exiled Cardassian spy/tailor and master obfuscator. Garak is perhaps Star Trek's most secretive and complex character. His is a dark and tortured soul, h......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on August 27, 2011

A 400 page epic I finished in a matter of hours. Engrossing, melancholy, emotional and astonishing...the ultimate last word on Garak, from the pen of Garak himself (Andrew J. Robinson). There are several books that compete for the rank of best "Star Trek" novel...and this one may have actually toppe......more

A spectacular story told by a spectacular character Now hold tight to some nearby furniture as I reveal....I'm a Trekkie. (SCANDALIZED GASPING) I know, right? Well, I am. And my favorite out of all the Treks is Deep Space 9. While it starts off in the same cheesy, episodically safe way the previous Tre......more

Goodreads review by Dianah on July 08, 2010

It's always interesting to read stories written by actors about the characters they portrayed. Sometimes it works better than others. Avon: A Terrible Aspect by Paul Darrow left me wondering how Darrow had managed to portray the character so well without understanding him. With The Companions of Doc......more
