Why this must be read:
This is a story about ideas, and it's as smart and complicated as the characters it's about. The action takes place as series of conversations between Gaeta and Tom Zarek that give us insight into who they are and are becoming. Zarek is a character who was never given a lot of depth in canon, but here he's portrayed as a "rascal" who still never lost his spark of idealism. Gaeta, of course, is the tragic fallen idealist of the series, and this story gives an added understanding and sympathy to some of the more misguided decisions he made, from lying on the stand to the mutiny. Mournful and thought-provoking.
"I look at you, and I see myself."
Gaeta shakes his head. "I don't."
