A look at the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, and what the mirror counterparts of Deep Space Nine, Voyager and the Star Trek: New Frontier crew are doing.

Summary

Contains three short novels set within the mirror universe, one among the DS9 crew's counterparts, one among the Voyager crew's counterparts, and one among the counterparts of the Star Trek: New Frontier crew, all set in the same general time period. This is published in the larger "trade paperback" format.

Saturn's Children

DS9-era short novel, by Sarah Shaw.

One fallen dictator's struggle to regain her power leads to the discovery of a bold rebel plan for a decisive military strike that will bring down the Alliance, once and for all. But while Kira Nerys navigates the tangle of politics, sex, and military intrigue that she believes will allow her to reclaim her station, cracks form in the rebel leadership, leading to a showdown that will change the course of the mirror universe.

The Mirror-Scaled Serpent

Star Trek: Voyager-related short novel by Keith R.A. DeCandido.

Chakotay and Tuvok are members of the Terran Rebellion, and while running from an Alliance ship in the Badlands encounter Neelix and Kes, who have been swept across the galaxy to the Alpha Quadrant. The Alliance then tries to find them, with hopes to use Kes's telepathic abilities to their advantage. One of the most powerful and intimidating members of the rebellion: Harry Kim.

Cutting Ties

Star Trek: New Frontier-related short novel by Peter David.

Almost a century after the fall of the Terran Empire, its long time rivals, the Romulans, have absorbed many of the fringe civilizations spread across that part of the galaxy. One of their slaves, M'k'nzy of Calhoun – who, in this universe, will never become Captain Mackenzie Calhoun of the Starship Excalibur – learns courage and the value of freedom from an unlikely teacher, a Romulan named Soleta.
