You hope against hope that in your lifetime, evil is relegated to the shadows. But what if it wasn't? What if you lived in a universe where your life was measured only by what you could do for the Empire? What would you do to survive? Would you sell your soul to free yourself? If you were offered the chance to rule, would you seize it? If you could free your universe from the darkness but only at the cost of your life, would you pay that price? Star Trek: Enterprise® She seized power in a heartbeat, daring to place herself against all the overlords of the Empire. Empress Hoshi Sato knows the future that could be; now all she has to do is make sure it never happens. For her to rule, she must hold sway not only over the starship from the future but also over her warlords, the resistance, and her Andorian husband. As quickly and brutally as Hoshi seized power, imperial rule is taken from her. Her only chance to rule again is to ally herself with a lifelong foe, and an alien. Star Trek® One man can change the future, but does he dare? Spock, intrigued by the vision of another universe's Federation, does what no Vulcan, no emperor, has ever done: seize power in one blinding stroke of mass murder. And at the same instant he gains imperial power, Spock sows the seeds for the Empire's downfall. Is this a form of Vulcan madness, or is it the coolly logical plan of a man who knows the price his universe must pay for its freedom? Star Trek: The Next Generation® Humanity is a pitiful collection of enslaved, indentured, and abused peoples. No one dares to question the order, except at peril of their lives. One man survives by blinding himself to the misery around him. However, Jean-Luc Picard resists, just once. And in that one instant he unlocks a horror beyond the tyranny of the Alliance. Can a man so beaten down by a lifetime of oppression stop the destruction? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not for me. Just too implausible.First of all, let me say that I absolutely loved the first mirror universe episode in The Original Series ("Mirror, mirror"). (And I love Star Trek in general.) Spock with a beard, the "agony booth," the cool Empire logo (Earth pierced with a sword) and all of it was all great fun. (I know a few people who could use some time in the agony booth.) I expected to like this book. I did not, and after some introspection I have figured out why not. First of all, it is just too downbeat. The Earth ...

It takes its stories from two episodes of Trek and builds from there. If you've read the other reviews, you know the three eras and plots - I like to classify them as a Fun Romp (Age of the Empress), Epic (Sorrows of Empire), and Supplemental (The Worst of Both Worlds) type stories. Age of the Empress is action from beginning to end and very fast paced but sets the stage nicely ... Read More Rating:  - Great!This book integrated wonderfully with the origional shows except for the last "book" which was new but great material. Mirror universe gives this series new life and lots of opportunities for diversity. A wonderful read and I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to more "Mirror Universe" ST books. Rating:  - Never received it - never heard from senderI sent an e-mail through Amazon and got a message that the sender would contact me. I never heard from the sender and have not received my product. Rating: - Excellent weave of stories!I really enjoyed how all three authors were able to weave together stories from both "universes" to make a completely new tale. It was a thoroughly enjoyable read for me.
