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 Will Return To This.

Ever since I found Audible I have been hoping Andrew Robinson would record his book and Audible would make it available. "Deep Space Nine" has always been by far my favorite Star Trek series and Garack one of my very favorite characters. My only warning to Audible customers who are interested in this book is that you should watch all of "Deep Space Nine" before listening to this book. The wait will be worth it.

Well done!

I found this audio book entirely refreshing and well paced. Not that I could resist an expansion on the character Elim Garak from Deep Space 9, my favorite character of that show. The best part for me was that Andrew J. Robinson, the actor who played Garak, was this book’s author and narrator! I loved his insightful description of Garak in his youth, then as a young Obsidian Order operative, followed by his experiences on Deep Space 9 and later on Cardassia after the brief Dominion era. Mr. Johnson elegantly elaborated on many intriguing aspects of Garak’s life and also brought forth new elements. I always felt that Garak’s character should have had more than a supporting role in Deep Space 9. I can’t turn back time to make it so. But this book satisfies my need for more when it comes to Garak. I’m grateful that Mr. Johnson created this book and shared it with all of us.

Like stepping back in time, on to the promenade, and into the replimat.

This is Garrick telling you not only about post-war life on Cardassia and his own life story, but also added scenes from DS9 during the series time period. It’s fantastic!

Excellent Story that expands a character

Good story well read by the actor. I recommend it for any Star Trek fan of deep space nine. The story fills in the background of the character Garak and adds a bit to what happened on Cardassia after the show.
