Template:Realworld Shattered Light is the third anthology in the Star Trek: Myriad Universes series, released in December 2010.
Summary
- Publisher's 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 alternate realities. In these divergent realms, known history is bent, like white light through a shattered prism – broken into a boundless spectrum of what-might-have-beens. But in those myriad universes, what might have been... is what actually occurred.
- THE EMBRACE OF COLD ARCHITECTS by David R. George III. "Mister Worf – fire." With those words, William T. Riker defeated the Borg – and destroyed Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Now, a heartsore Captain Riker must carry on the legacy of the commanding officer and friend whose death he ordered. But crises face him at every turn, from Cardassian aggression to the return of Data's creator, Noonien Soong. But it is Data's creation of a daughter, Lal, that may prove to be everyone's undoing...
- THE TEARS OF ERIDANUS by Steve Mollmann & Michael Schuster. Commander Hikaru Sulu of the Kumari – finest ship of the Interstellar Guard, the military arm of the Interstellar Union that includes Andor, Earth, and Tellar – is sent to rescue an observation team on a primitive desert planet. The world has many names – 40 Eridani A-II, Minshara, T'Khasi, Vulcan – and its savage natives have taken the team hostage, including Sulu's daughter, Demora. Even as Captain Sulu negotiates with the fierce T'Pau, Demora meets the elderly S'oval, and with him the only hope for the planet's future...
- HONOR IN THE NIGHT by Scott Pearson. Former Federation president Nilz Baris has died. After losing Sherman's Planet to the Klingons thanks to poisoned quadrotriticale, the agriculture undersecretary parlayed that defeat into years of political battles with the Klingon Empire, and eventually the Federation's highest office.
