Not quite what I was expecting. For some reason, when I found out about this book, I expected a history of Garak the Cardassian tailor when the audience knew him. A look at his life and times in exile aboard DS9. What's here is a more expansive history for the character. Taking place in three different time periods, we follow Garak through his education and career with the Obsidian Order, a brief stop over in the last season of the show (where events from the tv show aren't retold from a new perspective so much as used as time stamps to show when this side story occurred), and following part of his new life after the end of the series. Provides some interesting view of the culture of the Cardassians and insight into the character spent much of his time being mysterious and deceitful...

... that is, if this story written from Garak's perspective can be believed as being true. Fans do know how important he though lying was.
