#24: Having read the original novella upon which this MMPB is an expansion, I can tell you that The Sorrows of Empire is a completely different — and utterly superior — take on the history of the Mirror Universe.

I don’t care what Paramont says but I think the shatnerverse series should be considdered canon! When the origional Captian Kirk writes something like that and they approve it then they decide to drop it all together to me that’s lame! I tjink it’s a cool way to introduce Kirk to the Borg! And JJ Abrams has the opprotunity to make thus cannon next time around if he just tries!

I am looking forward to this one but the cover art really does suck big time. If I had the means even I could do better.

I find it funny that people are getting pretty worked up over a book cover. It isn’t that bad. And even if it was, I am reminded of an old adage: You can’t judge a book by it’s cover. On the other hand, we are all Trek fans and this is a Trek site. I guess “nitpicking” is the name of the game! I shouldn’t expect anything less, LOL!

Think I’ll read this and see how well it will mesh into the Shatner/Reeves-Stevens series of novels dealing with the Mirror Spock and Kirk’s counter-part Tiberius. And for those of you who haven’t read those best-sellers, the time period takes place after Generations and Kirk’s rebirth.

I know….” ‘The Return’ and the following novels after are not canon and Kirk is dead!” Sorry, these are good books and I suppose I’d rather think he lives and is still saving the Federation along side his friend Picard.

Go ahead. I’ll let you vent.

I was surprised to hear that David Mack has another book out (albeit an expanded previous story I haven’t read) and am looking forward to it!

Although I don’t give a whit about the cover in regard to the story I can understand the opinions. I’m not crazy about some of them as well but I can deal with it.

I just finished David Mack’s latest Vanguard book “Precipice” and enjoyed it immensely. INCLUDING the cover. He could write a phone book and I would buy it if it had one of his exquisitely detailed fight or space battle scenes in it! I hope he will grace us in this thread with a visit and inform us if their are any plans on the horizon for someone to continue the Vanguard story line. It’s just too good a story to leave us where it did!

- I’ve been watching a lot of WWW the last year, and someone needs to just do a fun little “slow news day” article on the numerous guest-star crossovers between that and Trek. There are a lot.

@6.

Karen Traviss’ novelization of Star Wars: The Clone Wars didn’t suck. That was a case both of the novelization being extremely good and the novel being better than the film.

For example, the shot on the right center of the montage of one of her appearances with Wild Wild West:
