Hey, it's Mirror, y'all know I have to go into my Mirror Love advertisement mode now! w00t!

 

Mirror Universe: Sorrows of the Empire is not exactly a new book though. It is more of an expansion on a previous story done in the first collection of Mirror Mirror short stories that was showcased in "Glass Empires".

 

David Mack, who IMO is one of the better current Trek authors, has taken his original tale centering around Spock and done a full length novel. Blurb from Amazon.com:

 

"In every revolution, there is one man with a vision."

 

Captain James T. Kirk of the United Federation of Planets spoke those prophetic words to Commander Spock of the Terran Empire, hoping to inspire change. He could not have imagined the impact his counsel would have.

 

Armed with a secret weapon of terrifying power and a vision of the alternate universe's noble Federation, Spock seizes control of the Terran Empire and commits it to the greatest gamble in its history: democratic reform.

 

Rivals within the empire try to stop him; enemies outside unite to destroy it.

 

Only a few people suspect the shocking truth: Spock is knowingly arranging his empire's downfall. But why? Have the burdens of imperial rule driven him mad? Or is this the coldly logical scheme of a man who realizes that freedom must always be paid for in blood?

 

Spock alone knows that the fall of the empire will be the catalyst for a political chain reaction -- one that will alter the fate of his universe forever.

 

So, political reformation Mirror style, general Mirror goings on, Original Trek Era/Classic Mirror, and Emperor Spock battles internal and external enemies - sounds like a plan! I'll be there....as soon as I log off the computer. :-P
