Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 813.087620806 EAN: 9781416571810 ISBN: 1416571817 Label: Star Trek Manufacturer: Star Trek Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 512 Publication Date: August 12, 2008 Publisher: Star Trek Studio: Star Trek Editorial Review: Product Description: 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-beens. But in those myriad universes, what might have been...is what actually happened. THE CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT: In a continuum where Spock died during childhood, an Andorian named Thelin became Captain Kirk's stalwart friend and first officer. But at the moment of Khan's final defeat, history takes an even stranger turn, and the emerging potential of Project Genesis is revealed as the galaxy's greatest hope...and its most ominous threat. A GUTTED WORLD: Terrorist Kira Nerys -- from a Bajor that was never liberated -- may hold the key to winning a war that has engulfed half the galaxy. But with the Romulans and the Klingons at each other's throats, and the Federation pulled into the conflict, even victory may not bring salvation. BRAVE NEW WORLD: Dr. Noonien Soong's dream has been realized: androids are now woven inextricably into the fabric of the Federation, revolutionizing Starfleet and transforming the quality of humanoid life. But when Soong's long-missing breakthrough creation, Data, mysteriously resurfaces, civilization reaches a crossroads that could lead to a bright new future, or to ruin. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Star Trek: Myraid Universes: Echoes & RefractionsThis is a great book - great reading, can't wait until I start the next one in the series. Recommend it to everyone - you don't have to be a star trek fan just have a great imagination. Helen Rating: - A franchise is a hard thing to loseBecause the franchise has posited parallel/multiple universes from evil twin to slightly off kilter, there are no holds barred in this foray into the believeable/unbelievable. Kira Nerys as a despot, no problem. Spock as emotional, logical of course. A universe where the ideals of a Federation of Planets towards creature potential is turned into a place where the preserved memory of a galaxy spanning despot allows no creativity is presented as fait accompli. It is too dark. There is little hope. ... Read More Rating: - Echoes and refreactions:Excellent work by all 3 AuthorsI don't think i can say enough good things about this book. I was eagerly awaiting it all summer and when it finally came; it was all she wrote! KRAD once again outdoes himself with his very character heavy story of what would have happened if Cardassia had never left occupying Bajor. Chris Roberson did a great job with a story almost forgotten in the realms of The Next Generations first season! Geoff Trowbridge's story though i feel is the strongest of all three. The tale of what would ... Read More Rating: - "Echoes and Refractions" Review [Few Spoilers]Myriad Universes: "Echoes and Refractions" is different from the first volume, "Infinity's Prism". While the first may have had a rather light, typical-Trek vibe with somewhat happy endings, "Echoes and Refractions" is far more complex, deeper and outright dark. But as a reader and avid Trek fan, I appreciated this darker-outlook on the Trek universe. The whole concept of this series is to show what Trek and the characters, plots, shows, situations *could* have been, not what they are and what we're ... Read More Rating:  - Trek Isn't Supposed to be Depressing!But this is! The book has 3 short stories set in the Star Trek universe, but from different perspectives of time. What would have happened if this person died or this person lived, or this person accepts a transfer to another ship or makes a scientific breakthrough, what have you. Well I don't want to give anything away, but the answer is pain, and unyielding horror and suffering apparently. The Trek as it played out on tv and the movies is apparently the only one worth living in as it is the only one ... Read More |
