	Sample text for Library of Congress control number 2003611005
		Garth of Izar had been the kind of officer destined to become a famed and admired figure, one whose military exploits were required reading and whose writings were part of the Academy's curriculum.
		Garth's maneuver had been of short duration, but many tales stretched the pursuit of his starship across the whole quadrant, while the resolution of Axanar's civil war was often described as a major Federation victory, with Garth leading the victorious Starfleet forces.
		Garth, perhaps enraged by Marta's failure to get the information he wanted from Kirk, had finally had the poor woman dragged outside the asylum's dome and left there, gasping for breath in the poisonous atmosphere, before killing her with a powerful explosive he had managed to develop during his imprisonment.

	Garth of Izar
		This book, by two respected SF writers, jumps forward a few years to when a miracle drug has cured Garth and other asylum inmates of their madness and Garth is once again acting captain and on a mission, but under the watchful eyes of Kirk and his crew.
		Their mission is to return to Antos IV and attempt to diffuse the crisis which is threatening to erupt into a civil war, as the shape shifting Antosians are divided on whether to lose their now-useless skill in order to better serve as a member of the Federation or to keep their heritage intact.
		At times I felt that the story and character of Garth demanded a bit of Shakespearean tragedy, but the authors had obviously thought hard about what was most likely to happen if the situation had been real, and when I put the book down I felt that their decision had been for the best.

		The article on the penal colony on Elba II indicates that it's a high-security complex for dangerous criminals, as does the article on the planet Elba II itself.
		This article on Garth, however, specifically states that the penal colony on Elba II is low-security.
		So it might be more comfortable looking than a prison, but between the poisionous atmosphere surrounding it, and the sheilds that Enterprise can't dent, it's pretty high-security to me. I think the perspective might be wrong, anything could be low-security from the POV of incarcerating a shapeshifter.

		We start with a fascinating question: In the original series episode, "Whom Gods Destroy", the villain of the piece was "Garth of Izar", a former starship captain then an inmate in a mental institution for the criminally insane.
		By the end of the episode, Kirk and the Enterprise have successfully delivered a new drug that is supposed to cure his insanity, and it shows every sign of working.
		I found the storyline to be captivating and the reintroduction of Garth to be a strong character to balance the character of Kirk.

		McCoy mentions his daughter Joanna: the first on-screen mention of such a thing although his daughter was referenced in the original Trek script bible.

		This makes later references about the Federation's unfamiliarity with shapeshifters (Odo is described as unique, and shapeshifters are described as "legendary" in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.) Banishing this episode from canon doesn't explain the Garth of Izar thing.
