Truly a masterpiece character study and one of the best Trek novels ever written.

Would’ve given it 5 stars, but I hate the ending.

I had heard really good things about A Stitch in Time prior to reading it, and when I finally found a paper copy I was very excited. I'm delighted to say it really lived up to the hype for me personally. I found Andrew Robinson's writing style to be very enjoyable, and his connection to Garak as a central character was clearly deep and personal. 

A Stitch in Time serves as a sort of memoir to Garak's life both pre and post Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, delivered in a series of letters and log entries sent from Garak to Doctor Bashir, and unravels several of the mysteries which surrounded him during the course of the show. It also delves more into the workings of Cardassian society through the lens of those within that society, again both prior to the events of Deep Space Nine and following the end of the Dominion War. 

If you're a fan of Garak as a character and want to read more about him, as well as getting a different viewpoint on the Star Trek universe at that point in its continuity, I highly recommend this book.

I finally know what landed Garak at the station! 
This was good but sometimes I wasn’t quite sure what Robinson was talking about or what he meant with some of Garak’s inner monologue.
