About this title: 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 Star Trek characters, familiar characters are here reflected across three radically different Star Trek universes. Thus through the individual visions of three separate authors readers can discover completely different incarnations of all their favourite characters. Follow them into a universe of adventure -- where history takes a different turn and the only limit to what can happen is imagination.

"while probably a little too arcane for the general reader, or those new to the trek universe (one of the stories included here takes place in an alternate timeline introduced in the animated series), this is fascinating stuff for those well-steeped in trek lore."
"Any trekkie interested in the alternate universes presented in the Star Trek shows should enjoy this one! I sure did! Three stories are included here. My favorite was the first one, "The Chimes at Midnight". Excellent story. Well-written. Kept me interested all the way through. The next tale, "A Gutted World" didn't quite hold my interest. It seemed to drag on for whatever reason. The third and final story, "Brave New World" was another intriguing tale about Dr. Soong's androids becoming a dominant species. Overall this is fantastic Star Trek from a very unique perspective!"
"Again, another look at th would've couldv'e should've...
The first story shows life w/out Spock. Yes, the Enterprise managed and got by, leading up to a familiar movie sequence from Star Trek 2. Following this, there are interesting twists and turns throughout the rest of the classic Star Trek movies. Imagine having the ultimate technology for hope, but instead using it for evil. Decent overall.
War!!! The second story is in the TNG/DS9 timeframe in a universe where the Bajorans (very religious and overal annoying species) were never liberated from their ruthless oppressors, the Cardassians (the Nazis of Star Trek). Here the Cardassians get help from a familiar DS9 species capable of taking the place of important bureaucrats and military personnel amongst the main species in the galaxy. Can they be stopped in time?? Easily the best story in this book.
The third story shows Star Trek meeting I Robot. In this universe, androids modeled after the legendary Data serve on ships. But what happens when they want equal rights?? And what will other powers do to learn the technology??
Overall, a pretty decent book. I'd also suggest the Star Trek Mirror Universe books recently published to see the classically "evil" Trek."
