Deep Space Nine finished after seven seasons. It was the first full-length novel written by Robinson, who had attempted to create works in this format previously but failed. It was written without the use of a ghost writer. It was numbered 27 in the original run of the Pocket Books Deep Space Nine novel series. It was announced in 2000 that Robinson and actor Alexander Siddig, who portrayed Dr. Julian Bashir on Deep Space Nine, would write a sequel to A Stitch in Time due for publishing during 2001. However, no such sequel was subsequently published. Robinson had also said in an interview in 2002 that he had continued to write the Garak diaries following the conclusion of the novel, and suggested that they might become a new novel in the future. He was invited back to write a short story for the Deep Space Nine anniversary anthology Prophecy and Change () in 2003. His story, The Calling, followed up on the events portrayed in A Stitch in Time. A Stitch in Time was re-released in 2010 in Germany with an alternative cover. Reception Paul Cole for the Sunday Mercury from Birmingham, UK, said of the novel, "It's a suitably ironic, oblique and at times obscure set of reminiscences as Robinson weaves together three different time-frames, held together with theme rather than an overall plot." In 2015, John Bardinelli of Barnesandnoble.com highlighted this as among of the best Star Trek novels.
