Don't. It's already available on disc.
A STITCH IN TIME Read By Garak Himself...
- Thread starter Farscape One
- Start date
I hope so! Almost everything comes out on disc eventually. Too many people live where the internet service is nonexistent or too poor to support streaming.
I don't know about UK availability but it is listed on the US site. (Currently out of stock though)
https://www.amazon.com/Stitch-Time-...2248237&sprefix=a+stitch+in+ti,aps,655&sr=8-1
Amazon Australia has two copies listed, one from Amazon Japan and one from Amazon Germany. So presumably they're in stock if that helps.
I don't think this is directly from the audiobook, but it is a taste of what you'll get.
Yes.
How do you like it? Is it worth having the physical media instead of just the audiable copy?
I'm a bit of a physical media hoarder, so I'm probably biased. Even though it's just a person speaking I'm quite happy to have a (much?) higher quality audio for it than the download version.
Audible sent me a promo offer for 3 months free, so I went and grabbed this. I'm 15 chapters in and it's absolutely delightful. Didn't expect to enjoy it this much!
As an aside, Andrew Robinson does an uncanny impression of Odo. René Auberjonois would be proud.

Kind of funny, considering that Andy auditioned for Odo.
[Edit: Not that he would have played Odo the way that Rene did, of course. I don't mean that.]
After this wonderful book, I beg you all to read Una McCormack's wonderful Never-Ending Sacrifice (as well as her Crimson Shadow & Enigma Tales)
You can read a very detailed review of TNS at tor.com, and why - alongside Robinson's work's review - it's among the best pieces of treklit (or indeed trek) I've ever encountered.

Thanks for putting that on my radar.
I just finished A Stitch In Time and my only regret is that there isn't more of it. Wow, was that ever good.
I'm going to have to seek out other audiobooks read by cast members - this is a whole new world of Trek content I previously knew nothing about.
It's really worth it
You can read some really cute threads on it in the treklit section, including the original. McCormack (like many trek authors and editors) is a member of the BBS too

The Never-Ending Sacrifice is fantastic. I bought it as a Christmas gift to myself last year and had just finished re-reading it. I just had to read it again after re-reading A Stitch In Time as well.
Rugal's story is incredibly exciting and touching and the fact that Garak is in it makes it even better.
Now I'm re-reading The Crimson Shadow which I also bought last year and I'm planning to buy more books which she has written about Cardassia.
Una MacCormack has given me back the faith and interest in TrekLit!
Unfortunately, while visiting Memory Beta for further information about readable Trek book with garak as one of the main characters, I just found out some disturbing things which might make me reevalue my previous positive review about Una MacCormack, her novels about Garak and TrekLit in general.
So I better stick to my rules when it comes to TrekLit:
Rule 1: Never ever trust or like an autor ,a book or any book series.
Sooner or later something will show up which makes you very dissapointed and will change your opinion.
Rule 2: Never ever have a favorite character! That character will be killed off or ruined sooner or later.
Rule 3: Always be cautious with everything written after 1999.
Always remember that dystopia now rules in the "Gray Universe".
Rule 4: If you want to read a really good story which you really like, write it yourself!
Rule 5: When stuck in some contradiction, always stick to the Lynxverse!
It's the one and only option if you will stay happy with Star Trek
