to: Glass Empires (Star Trek: Mirror Universe: Glass Empires, #1-3)byMike Sussman bookshelves: read-or-reread-in-09,
sci-fi
Of the three short stories in this book, the middle one is the best and gets the three stars. The other two stories are completely forgettable and read like mediocre fan fiction.
I thought maybe I couldn't get into the first because it's an Enterprise story, and I've never been a fan, but really the plot is ludicrous and there is no backstory for those who didn't see the episodes that provide the jumping off point.
The Picard story has him acting in ways that don't make sense for the character (I know it is alternate universe Picard, but he should still have the essence of the Picard we know and love). Really, how could anyone think asking the Borg for help is a good idea?
The Spock story, however, is well-written and has an interesting premise. What if Spock's vision of a peaceful Federation in (our) alternate universe moved him to take over the Empire... in order to destroy it and make way for something better?
Read the Spock story, skip or skim the other two.
