Star Trek: Myriad Universes: Infinity's Prism (Star Trek: Myriad Universes #1)
It's been said that for any event, there are an infinite number of possible outcomes. Our choices determine which outcome will follow, and therefore all possibilities that could happen do happen across countless alternate realities. In these divergent realms, known history is bent, like white light through a prism -- broken into a boundless spectrum of what-might-have-been...more

I love "what if" stories. This set of short stories was a great idea. It differs from the "mirror universe" because it explored what would happen if different events in Star Trek history were tweaked. There are three stories in this volume.
"A Less Than Perfect Union"--What if the attack by Terra Prime on Earth hadn't been stopped by the Enterprise. In this universe, humans have shunned the rest of the aliens, including Vulcans...more

One of our sons introduced the concept of parallel dimensions and that sort of thing to me. He can really get it to that sort of thing.
Me, not so much. But I am learning.
I used to eat up everything that said "Star Trek" on it, and tried to be a real Trekkie, but I was soon swamped with just to much to keep track of, if you know what I mean.
Then, along came Babylon 5. THE best sci-fi TV series ever invented hands-down, bar none. THOSE beings I cou...more

Star Trek Novel
Worth picking up off the sale table, but not keeping it for a re-read.
This is an omnibus edition, combing three novellas into one bargain book. The idea was that each story took place in a mirror universe or alternate history, but the stories were not inter-connected in any way but theme.
The first story dealt with the Pike-Kirk era, but allowing for T'Pol to still be alive. The author played well with expectations and struck a good balance betwe...more

Overall, an ok book. It's always fascinating to discover the events of alternate realities and to learn where they diverged with our so-called normal universe. There are 3 short stories in this book.
The first story shows what would've happened had humanity not developed a "federation" with aliens. There's still a Starfleet with an overall peaceful mission, but there are a few sublte differences. For anyone who is a fan of classic Star Trek, consider this a treat.

Hasil beli dengan alasan utama: itu judulnya tentang STAR TREK.
Pas baca, ..... *.*" aaa pusing.
Mungkin karena saya bacanya tersendat-sendat, alias tidak langsung dibaca hingga tamat.
Tetap saja kerinduan saya terhadap dunia starship, pasher, senjata photon, transponder, Vulcan, Klingon, dan Enterprise, terobati sudah.
Jadi sekarang pertanyaannya adalah: adakah yang berniat menjual buku lanjutan dari serial ini ???

I enjoyed all three stories within this volume and would like to see a continuation of all three of them from the Unifcation of Valucan and Romulas and the inclusion of Earth into the Intersteller Coliton to the Detla Colitions introduction into the United Federation of Planets post Donimion War to the rebellion within the Khan rulled universe and how they could toppel it. Needless to say this was a very good read but I would like to see these stories continued.
Well, the first story was ok... it lost some interest and character development wasn't great. I remember and enjoy the original series and it does link nicely with Enterprise, however it just didn't carry the plot well. (TOS time period)
The second story was alright as well. However, at times it was too convoluted and probably spread over too long a period of time. Kes was dealt with in too saintly of a way. She had faults and we saw them constantly throughout the series. Some of the ...more
