Summary

 From the New York Times bestselling 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 people's 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...

this audiobook took me a couple of hours to really get into, but I think that's my fault not the fault of the story or performance.

Garak has done well for himself!

I enjoy this book very much, there were good characters and a good storyline. My only complaint is the villain of the piece was a human never mentioned anywhere else in the book, also when Polanski is held captive she see her kidnapper but never mentions that he is a human. You may say why would she but they are on Cardassia prime so unless he was a cardassian , his species should have been commented on. I think it would have been more of an inigma if the bad guy had been Parmak , Garak's friend and a doctor Garak interrogated when he was in the obsidian order. I think that would have been a good plot twist.

good continuation of Garak's story and well written.
I would recommend to anyone reading the DS9 series of books.

Great Story

This book did the impossible, it made me LIKE Polaski! I hated her on TNG, entirely because she was mean to Data (no one is allowed to be mean to my boy Data). But she's so great in this story, complex and grumpy and kind. And when she brings Bashir his teddy bear 😭😭😭 I absolutely loved getting a look at a reconstructed Cardassia, seeing Garek with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Clearly there's context from previous books that I'm missing, but it didn't detract from the story itself.

The plot was an interesting one and should appeal to DS9 fans wondering what happened to Cardassia post dominion war. Could have been a deeper plot and more explanation in the narrative in places but entertaining enough! And manages to weave in Polaski from TNG too with hints to cannon events littered about. Very well read by Robert. Man has a very convincing Cardassian accent.. almost typical of Demarr! For Cardassia!

Very well read
