Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Fall: The Crimson Shadow comes a compelling and suspenseful tale of politics and power set in the universe of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Elim Garak has ascended to Castellan of the Cardassian Union...but despite his soaring popularity, the imminent publication of a report exposing his peoples' war crimes during the occupation on Bajor looks likely to set the military against him. Into this tense situation come Dr. Katherine Pulaski - visiting Cardassia Prime to accept an award on behalf of the team that solved the Andorian genetic crisis - and Dr. Peter Alden, formerly of Starfleet Intelligence. The two soon find themselves at odds with Garak and embroiled in the politics of the prestigious University of the Union, where a new head is about to be appointed. Among the front-runners is one of Cardassia's most respected public figures: Professor Natima Lang. But the discovery of a hidden archive from the last years before the Dominion War could destroy Lang's reputation.

As Pulaski and Alden become drawn into a deadly game to exonerate Lang, their confrontation escalates with Castellan Garak - a conflicted leader treading a fine line between the bright hopes for Cardassia's future and the dark secrets still buried in its past.

Good performance. Kind of a stale story

It's an alright story. I really like Garak and DS9. The performance was good but the story was a little boring. A lot talking and character development mostly. It was definitely interesting but I think it was cut fast and short near the end. Would be a good series to continue I think. I do recommend it if you're interested in the Cardassians

A Great (almost) Ending for Garamond

This is a great (almost) ending for Garak. After this, read Second Self - which is a wonderful bookend to the character

Garak!

Great story about the after effects of the Dominion War. Cardassia destroyed and rebuilt. Dr. Polaski is as witty as ever. and then of course theres Garak.

For Garrick fans.

there is a little political Intrigue in this book but truthfully this is more about being able to spend time with the characters. don't pick this up if you're looking for something with action. but if you love Garrick you shouldn't miss this one. heck I've always hated Catherine Pulaski and now I actually kind of like her. the biggest surprise is just how much better Julian Bashir is when he's in a constant vegetative state. I honestly enjoy the fox quite a bit.

Love DS9

I love DS9. I wish there were more audiobooks about the station. Garrick is a very deep character.

Excellent writing and narration

I was very impressed by this author. She had excellent character development, as well as being true to the Star Trek canon. I look forward to other books by this author. The narration was excellently done. He is a very skilled oral interpreter of literature. Kudos!

my issues are more on me than with the book

despite my fondness for Garak (my favorite star trek character.) intrigue stories don't do anything for me. which is what this boils down to.

for all I know this could be the finest tale of intrigue the world has ever known but for me the charms would be wasted.

I can say this with confidence the characters are accurate. never had a moment where I felt that a character should do or not do X, Y or Z. so good job there.
