Elim Garak has ascended to Castellan of the Cardassian Union...but despite his soaring popularity, the …
This is one of the last books in the post-Nemesis litverse before the Coda trilogy, and not having read the absolute majority of these books, I didn't know what I had missed. And it seems I had missed quite a few things! Like the thing with the person. Or what happened to that other person. What!? 😱
I'm a big Dr. Pulaski fan. So I was very happy to have her as one of the main characters in this novel. I loved her in TNG and I had a lot of fun with her here as well. (I still want a series of books about all the husbands of Dr. Pulaski. 😁)

Robert Petkoff is one of the best audio book narrators I know. He gives every character a great voice makes the characters we know from screen sound familiar.
