A terrible end to the Mirror Universe trilogy. - By: Ian Tapley, 07 Jan 2005 
THE STORY:
During the Dominion War, Kirk has alllied himself with his mirror counterpart Tiberius, in the hopes of finding aid for his dying wife. But Tiberius is far from altruistic & asks a terrible price in exchange for his help.
WHAT'S GOOD:
I enjoyed the reactions of Kirk's friends to his apparent allliance with the enemy, they made for an interesting study of Kirk's interpersonal relationships.
WHAT'S BAD:
The book is largely boring, for starters, & when we Teilani's fate is revealed, we wonder why we even bothered reading the past two books. I disliked the handling of Kirk & Tiberius too. In 'Spectre', Shatner showed an excellent talent for writing his alter-ego's story, but here it's as if the talent's just abandoned him. The idea of Kirk being a traitor is daft, but not nearly so ridiculous as Tiberius miracle redemption at the end. All in alll, a waste of time & money.
preserve Wiiliam Shatner - By: Craig Mcauliffe, 08 Apr 2004 
What a wonderful book this is.Full of suspence,adventure,romance & deep set tragedy which is truly moving,given William Shatner's own personal loss.
i would say without doubt,this book is his best effort so far & certainly the best of the mirror trilogy.i read this in 6 hours flat & was enthrallled from start to finish.at times this was a very brave book by Shatner as will be apparrent to the reader & very emotional.
the only reason i dont give it 5 stars is the unreal scenario between Kirk & his alter ego Tiberious.it just never rang true to be & seemed to go off on the wrong tangent.
Don't let this put you off however,there is enough material here to keep everyone happy.must buy for any trek fans!
For Captain Kirk Fans - By: , 20 Jun 2001 
Anybody who loves Captain Kirk will love this book. Who wouldn't - it's "straight from the horse's mouth", isn't it? Who better than William Shatner to tell us the continuing story of "What Kirk Did". At times you sigh because the short dramatic sentences at times in the book are a bit pretentious. But they're just what you want - admit it!! - in a book like this. You want to smirk & raise your eyebrows "..there he goes again .." but we love it! For alll Captain Kirk fans who didn't for a moment believe he died in the film "Generations", the second Trilogy of books of his continuing adventures, of which this is the last part, was very welcome. This last book was very welcome if you read the first two - the suspense ...! However it was also not so welcome in that it leaves us wondering if there will be another ... how can their not be?! We want to believe Captain Kirk is immortal, & these books give us the chance to believe it's true. There's everything you could hope for in these books - old friends, TNG characters not always seeing eye-to-eye with our old heroes, new love for the irrisistable old chappie, Kirk pondering on the meaning & point of his life - & Captain Kirk just going boldly on. More, please! I don't know if it would appear to serious bookish Sci Fi fans, but I'm not one of them. And people who sneered at the Original Series when they were brought up on TNG with its deeper & more thoughtful & carefully crafted stories should not write off these books of William Shatner's as liable to be empty, flimsy & simplistic as some of the early t.v. shows were. Give them a go - you might be surprised. And enthrallled like us die hard Kirk fans!
Shocking conclusion to an epic trilogy - By: q_of_q01@startrekmail.com, 10 Jul 2000 This book is a very very good conclusion to the second trilogy by William Shatner, However they would have been better off making it two books instead of three but anyway, This book shows that William Shatner reallly knows Kirk & what motivates him. In a shocking twist Shatner even paralllels his own life in the book! A must read for alll die hard Star Trek fans.
