Summary
 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.

Deep Space Nine (DS9) is probably my favourite Star Trek show. While there may be a lack of loosing communications and a distinct lack of going back in time this is still a great Star Trek experience. Garak's back story information from this story enhances the whole series for me. If you are a fan and on the fence then go for it you will probably enjoy it. I was a bit worried as I don't normally buy Star Trek books (this was my first) but seeing as it was on sale I went with it and am glad I did now.

Written and read by the actual actor.

Bringing life and further depth to Garak was not something I knew I needed until now. Beautifully written and performed by the author & actor himself, and gorgeously emotional. Highly recommend to those who enjoy trek for the characters and the history.

Brilliant, classic trek!

Learning all about Garak and some of the before and after the season answered lots of questions. A must listen for any DS9 fan.

Listening Andrews portrayal of Garak was fanatic!
