This book suffered from being bizarrely put together and horribly unfocused. There are two plots happening simultaneously that end up coming together in a really unsatisfying way, and neither of the plots are really about what the description of the book says the book is going to be about.
Maybe McCormack initially set out to write what the description says: Sisko and Garak facing the consequences of their actions in the DS9 episode. If they did that in this book, it was only one or two pages. And they didn't "face" anything. Utterly out of character for Sisko and Starfleet as a whole.
The B-plot was even worse.
Did not enjoy this book. I give it 2 stars for Quark and Garak, because they are awesome.
