A review by sidetracked
Shards and Shadows by Margaret Clark, Marco Palmieri
3.0
Nothing describes this book better than the quote Fractured history. Broken lives. Splinterred souls.. It is indeed just that. Stories from all star trek timelines, all set in the grim mirror universe. It was rather interesting to read about some of the more meaningful and iconic characters of the Star Trek universe, that were left out of the previous novels or short stories. Characters such as Deanna Troi, Will Riker, Christine Vale, Jaza Najem found a home for their stories in this third book of the Mirror Universe.
From Troi's story of pleasure giving, among the ruins of Betazed to the brutal and merciless rebel commander Will Riker and the reoccurring love story between Chrstine Vale and Jaza Najem, together with the other stories, it is almost guaranteed that any Trek fan can find at least one story to love and one to hate (or love hating?!?). Which one will it be depends on each ones' tastes or affinities. I, for one, greatly enjoyed Ill winds and For want of a nail and was particularly unimpressed with Family Matters and A Terrible Beauty.
