Title: An above-average book by someone who shouldn't be this good
Product review: When I heard that Andrew J. Robinson was writing the "memoirs" of his marvelous DS9 character, I figured it was another SF vanity project like the TekWar books or the like. Surprisingly, Robinson not only understands Elim Garak but also fleshes out Cardassia a lot more than any writer at DS9 did. He creates a world that is both believable and alien.There are flaws, such as the reason Garak was exiled to DS( and the amount of guilt that Garak feels for Cardassian misdeeds in the past, but this is a very good read and better than most of the Trek books I've read. Carey, Gray, and most of the rest have nothing on this "amateur".
