Title: The only good Cardassan...
Product review: This story is apparently an "autobiography" of DS9 tailor/ spy Garak compiled of journal entries of his ruminations on the upcoming reinvasion of his home planet, interspersed with memories of his military school experiences. Cardassian academies, I'll have you know, are a lot tougher than West Point or The Citadel, as you'll discover in this story. Their "lords of discipline" are what turn out hard cases like Dukat and Damar. And it's also why Garak, despite his seeming effeteness, is a pretty tough customer himself at times. I don't know if Robinson, who played Garak on the series, really is the author, or if he did a Bill Shatner and had it ghosted. All I know is if you can get past the temptation to be a purist, this book is worth the read. No matter who "wrote" it.
