Synopsis

James T. Kirk, together with Spock, Jean-Luc Picard, and more, must battle his evil Mirror Universe counterpart in this thrilling Star Trek adventure.

The Mirror Universe is a dark and twisted reflection of our own, where all that is noble and compassionate is instead cruel and barbaric. Now our universe has been invaded by that other reality’s most feared tyrant: the dreaded Emperor Tiberius, the Mirror Universe counterpart of James T. Kirk. Just as Kirk survived his own era to live into the 24th century, so has Tiberius returned from the past to menace a new generation of Starfleet heroes. And only Kirk can stop him.

With Spock, McCoy, and Scotty at his side, and teamed Jean-Luc Picard and the valiant crew of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E, Kirk is propelled into his most personal and dangerous mission yet as he fights to uncover the secret of Tiberius’ return and learn the terrible truth behind the madman’s nightmarish plans for the Federation.

But how can he defeat an enemy who knows Kirk’s mind as well as he knows his own?

Another cliff hanger ending. I was not quite as happy with this story as the first book. Off the top: The secret orginazation is a little much, but Garak, the taylor, from DS9 was refreshing.

Goodreads review by Tamera on October 16, 2022

It is indeed a science fiction book, but the science fiction in this book is next level, as in I had no clue what was going on half the time because of all the science jargon and highly complex technological stuff being described all the time. I feel like I need to be an astrophysicist or spaceship......more

Goodreads review by Will on June 30, 2022

Universes mirrored but different in this 2nd of the Mirror Universe trilogy. Very good read for fans of classic Star Trek, but eh, for those who are TNG, DS9 or Voyager. But of course, with William Shatner writing this, it is primarily centered on James T. Kirk. Which is all well and good. It has be......more
