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.

I recently finished reading this book on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 after I began reading it the previous Thursday. In the "Chimes at Midnight", imagining a universe without Spock does boggle my mind! Then imagining a Bajor that was never liberated and everyone that we came to know and love, from Deep Space Nine, (with the exception of Quark), dies????? The story, "A Gutted World", did depress me quite a bit. The last story, "A Brave New World", imagining uploading ourselves into positronic ... Read More

I have to say this was the ultimate what if story. What if Spock never existed? The Andorian tale should have been expanded into a larger story. It covers all the events in the first original series movies. There was enough background and depth to the character to make you believe he could replace Spock. I was impressed with the character moments between him and Kirk.

In this second book of Star Trek "whatifs," the classic Trek story is once again the best. Geoff Trowbridge imagines a universe in which an Andorian, not our favorite Vulcan is the science officer of the Enterprise. As intriguing as that is, the best part of the story is the retelling of the Genesis episode, and the investigation of the relationship between David and Saavik. "The Chimes at Midnight" is very inventive. Very satisfying.
"A Gutted World" retells everything from ST:TNG, ... Read More

This second book in a (hopefully continuing) series explores familiar Star Trek storylines albeit with slight alterations. The first story is from the Star Trek II & III/Genesis/Khan era, but with the major change of Spock having died as a child, and Kirk has an Andorian first officer. The second story showcases a Bajor that had not been liberated, and the third story displays a Next Generation alternative where androids are populous throughout.
The different writers are carefully keeping ... Read More

After reading, and being largely pleased with, "Infinity's Prism," I eagerly awaited and purchased "Echoes & Refractions," the second "Myriad Universe" trio of Star Trek novellas that explore the what-ifs of temporal paths not taken in official Trek canon. Unfortunately I was moderately and unexpectedly disappointed with two of the three novellas offered in this volume.
THE CHIMES @ MIDNIGHT: Takes the alternate scenario depicted in the animated series episode "Yesteryear" of Spock perishing ... Read More
