Product Description

Product Description

Building on the concept behind the Mirror Universe novels, Myriad Universes takes the theme a step further, into a world where instead of one alternate universe with mirror versions of several different Star Trek characters, familiar characters are here reflected across three radically different Star Trek universes. Thus through the very different visions of three separate authors readers can discover entirely new facets of characters whose lives and careers are not at all the same as those we know. Follow them into a universe of adventure -- where history takes a different turn and the only limit to what can happen is imagination.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, only problem was the third DS9 story, 2 Aug 2008
I'm not going to spoil this for potential readers but the first story has to be the best only becasue of the plot twists regarding Kirk and Sarek, and shows that maybe humans weren't really that important in forming something like a UFP.

Story two is good as well, showing us how Things could have gone for Voyager if they hadn't had time to ally with the Borg, also gives us a more concrete explenation of WHY 8472 were attacking, and why a species that lives in Fluidic space needs three legs.

Story three, well it was a good read, but too heavilly focuses on Ezri and Bashir, makeing the rest of the cast with the exception of the Botany Bays crew seem two dimensional. Although the choices of who was aboard was a pleasent suprise.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stand Alone "What If" novellas, 19 Aug 2009
By Andrew Riley (Reading) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Lets face it, if you're looking for a great novel to stimulate your mind and expand your horizons you're in the wrong place. As with all tv and movie tie-ins the Star Trek books are light hearted distractions not the heights of modern literature.

Infinity's Prism offers three "What If's" set in the Star Trek Universe. Three very different types of what if too.
A LESS PERFECT UNION, breaks from the Trek narative in Archer's time, but is set in Kirk's. Many recognisable characters from TOS are found here illustrating how culture strongly affects individuals.
PLACES OF EXILE, is a Voyager story. The plot follows directly on from the break point during the Species 8472/Borg conflict. This offering gives us the standard characters that change only with the ongoing plot, showing how big a difference a single change can make.
SEEDS OF DISSENT is set in the DS9 time frame, the break point being Khan Noonien Singh winning the Eugenics war on Earth. The characters here are mostly name touch points, the human counterparts being unregonisable in terms of personality or indeed physical appearance.

I enjoyed all the stories, they're interesting looks into other types of future, the first and last could have been non-Star Trek stories, but they would have needed longer to set them up. Playing on the differences makes it quick and easy to understand the new timeline. None of them have any link to the "real" Trek universe and they don't link to each other.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad .., 10 Aug 2009
By M. Middleton (paisley) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the first star trek book I have read , having been a fan for many years decided to see what the written form would be like, its a what would happen if this happned idea ... the first two stories are ok , however when it came to the final story, reading felt like one should have known what the author was writting about from page 1 , there was no explianation as to what a princeps was and how Julian Bashier had become one, to me it seemed as if several pages leading into the story had been left out.. the book is basicaly written around the original series episode 'mirror mirror'idea

overall an enjoyable read

When I first started reading this book, I thought it fan fiction. I thought 3 fan fiction writers had pooled their money together and paid to publish a book themselves, knowing no... Read more
