![]() Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I have read this novel several times and I have enjoyed it every time. It captures the uncanny valley feeling of the Mirror Universe in a believable way and the characters react to their mirror universe counterparts in believable ways. Overall I think this is my favorite portrayal of the Mirror Universe event including canon appearances in the various series. The Good:

The uniquenessof Diane Duane's take on the characters from the TNG franchise is not as great as with her TOS stories but this story plays on another interesting episode from the original series; the Imperial Earth altHist universe. The USS Enterprise is dragged into the universe belonging to the ISS Enterprise where they find that their alternatives have come up with a deadly plan to take over the USS Enterprise and use her as a cuckoo in order to act as the spearhead of an invasion of a whole new universe. I loved the way the characteristics of the bridge crew had been twisted, not beyond recognitiion, but just out of our version of true and the way it followed on in a fairly logical way from from the TOS episode. This alternative universe has become a favourite with the Star Trek producers as well, with DSN and Enterprise having stories set in the same background as well.

One hundred years ago, four crewmembers of the "U.S.S EnterpriseTM crossed the dimensional barrier and found a mirror image of their own universe, populated by nightmare duplicates of their shipmates. Barely able to escape with their lives, they returned, thankful that the accident which had brought them there could not be duplicated, or so they thought. But now the scientists of that empire have found a doorway into our universe. Their plan is to destroy from within, to replace a Federation Starships with one of their own. Their victims are the crew of the "U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, who now find themselves engaged in combat against the most savage enemies they have ever encountered, themselves.

A novel I read multiple times as a tween as I was transitioning from the children's section to the adult collection at the library. I was delighted when I found it in a secondhand shop (on Maui of all places) and was pleased that it holds up to a reread. While Diane Duane's prose doesn't sparkle quite as much as some of my other favourite TNG novels, she crafts a compelling tale set in an alternate universe established in the original series. The last section of the novel in particular is very intense on the action front and makes for fun reading. Recommended for fans of the series. (
