This might be my first ever audiobook. I've wanted to read it for ages but never got around to it. Garak is one of my favourite characters so it will be great to hear his voice again.

That's a for sure buy. My first audiobook was this past winter with Janeway's autobiography, cause I wanted to hear Mulgrew narrate it.
On the subject of audiobooks... Do any of these places sell drm free files? I got the Janeway autobiography on Audible, and had to download their app to listen to it. It took awhile for me settle down and find the tools to crack it, so I'd always have a copy without requiring a spyware app to listen to it. Any good sellers out there?
Answering my own question... These two sites S&S listed appear to sell drm free files...
https://audiobookstore.com/
https://www.audiobooksnow.com/
The latter says /most/ of their titles are drm free. There may be other annoyances, and I'll have to drill down when the time comes, but it looks like something's available.
To add one more, if Libro.fm carries it, their titles are almost always DRM-free.
For anyone still wanting to use Audible, you can download the files when visiting the site in a browser and I was able to add the books to Apple Books without removing the DRM. Last time I removed DRM to share it with a friend I used AAX Audio Converter
Still, buying from a store without DRM is probably a better choice in the end.
Same. I can't wait til it comes out!
Absolutely the best Star Trek book. I wish he had written more but understand it was a bookend for his character.
I am just curious if this works to reply here.
Confirmed.
Thanks. I am trying to figure out accessing this through my mastodon account. Not exactly seamless.
I personally prefer to have one Mastodon account, and a separate Lemmy account.
I think that is the best solution.
What I want to know is, out of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?
So I'm about halfway through the audiobook and it's already my favorite audiobook ever.
Because it's not Andrew Robinson reading a book. The book is written in 1st person as Garak telling the story to the reader/listener, and Andy is Garak, and any imperfections in the narration (e.g. character voices) don't come across as Andy mis-voicing Quark, but rather Garak's impression of him because he really gets into the groove.
This one should be a favourite (as the book itself is already).
