Glass Empires

A compendium containing three full novels set set in the mirror Universe..

There are moments glimpsed only in shadow,

     where darkness rules and evil incarnate thrives.

You hope against hope that in your lifetime,

     evil is relegated to the shadows.

              But what if it wasn't?

What if you lived in a universe where your life was measured only

     by what you could do for the Empire?

     What would you do to survive?

     Would you sell your soul to free yourself?

     If you were offered the chance to rule, would you seize it?

     If you could free your universe from the darkness but only

          at the cost of your life, would you pay that price?

For her to rule, she must hold sway not only over the starship from the future but also over her warlords, the resistance, and her Andorian husband. As quickly and brutally as Hoshi seized power, imperial rule is taken from her. Her only chance to rule again is to ally herself with a lifelong foe, and an alien.

Spock, intrigued by the vision of another universe's Federation, does what no Vulcan, no emperor, has ever done: seize power in one blinding stroke of mass murder. And at the same instant he gains imperial power, Spock sows the seeds for the Empire's downfall. Is this a form of Vulcan madness, or is it the coolly logical plan of a man who knows the price his universe must pay for its freedom?
