Synopsis

Set in the universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation, a doorway is opened from another universe and the crew of the U.S.S Enterprise must battle their toughest enemy yet—themselves.

One hundred years ago, four crewmembers of the U.S.S EnterpriseTM crossed the dimensional barrier and found a mirror image of their own universe, populated by nightmare duplicates of their shipmates. Barely able to escape with their lives, they returned, thankful that the accident which had brought them there could not be duplicated, or so they thought.

But now the scientists of that empire have found a doorway into our universe. Their plan is to destroy from within, to replace a Federation Starships with one of their own. Their victims are the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, who now find themselves engaged in combat against the most savage enemies they have ever encountered, themselves.

Goodreads review by Alejandro on January 06, 2016

I love this book! Easily it's one of my personal top ten of the best Star Trek novels that I ever read. Sadly, when on the TV Series, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, they developed episodes using the angle of the Mirror Universe, the way that they developed how the Mirror Universe was like then, it left......more

Goodreads review by Jeffrey on March 30, 2024

This was pretty decent. I loved having John De Lancie. He does a pretty good job doing subtle impressions of the characters without losing his own absolutely charismatic voice. Except O'Brien. That one was not as good. But the real issue was that even though the story clipped along, the whole premise......more

Captain Picard and the Next Generation crew find themselves stranded in the Mirror Universe. In this alternate world, the Federation does not exist. Earth is head of an evil Empire. The society is totally totalitarian--thought police, assasinations,cruelty, survival of the fittest in its worst form.......more

A surprisingly good entry in the Mirror Universe that admittedly had a bit too much technical mumbo jumbo that I did not care for and also did not impact the story in any way. Unfortunately, this novel was made non-canon, thanks to some Mirror Universe episodes of Deep Space Nine. The book was very r......more
