Rise Like Lions - A Mirror Universe saga

[Rush Limborg]

^I think you got the gist of this thread.

 

[DarkHorizon]

Bumping this up, because a new solicitation cover has appeared on the S&S catalog site:

[captcalhoun]

so.... Picard has a big part to play, eh?

 

[Technobuilder]

^Nice!

Can't wait to see what happens!

 

[rfmcdpei]

Hmm....

I wonder...it would be interesting if:

Spoiler: the MU arc....

MU Ezri saves MU Bashir's rear from the Klingons, complete with a snide, "Still think I'm a 'Worthless piece of space trash'?"

I think that would be optimistic.

Spoiler: When last we saw ...

MU Bashir and MU Kira, the latter had settled upon an interrogation tool that gratifyingly combined both sharp and gougy bits, and had told her prey that--well--he wasn't very imaginative. Honestly, I'd think it better for him if he'd been long-dead, much more plausible in the bargain too.

 

[toughlittleship]

I would rather have General O'Brien on the cover, giving how important he is in the novels.

 

[T'Ressa Dax]

Agreed. Guess we can't have everything...

 

[Odo]

Can't wait for this. Any idea on the years this novel will take place and if it will have any of the regular/prime universe DS9 characters, seeing as how important they've been to the mirror universe? (i'd really like to see the DS9 characters b/w Soul Key and Destiny)

 

[David Mack]

^ It is set between 2377 and 2381. All events transpire in the alternate universe.

Awesome! Can you tell us if we'll be seeing any prime universe characters in it?

(ps - enjoying destiny: gods of night right now!)

 

[David Mack]

^ Only the MU versions of characters appear in Rise Like Lions.

 

[Reanok]

I'm looking forward to getting this book and finding out what's been happening with the rebels on Terok Nor and Miles O'Brien has been up to in the Mirror Universe.

 

[DS9forever]

Has the mirror Picard even appeared in the current continuity of the mirror universe?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Yep. "The Worst Of Both Worlds."

Spoiler: TNG

MU Picard is a civilian archaeologist working for MU Gul Madred.

 

[Christopher]

And in "The Sacred Chalice."

 

[captcalhoun]

^ Yep. "The Worst Of Both Worlds."

Spoiler: TNG

MU Picard is a civilian archaeologist working for MU Gul Madred.

Spoiler: actually

'WAS a civilian archaeologist working for Mirror Madred' would be more accurate, since he doesn't remain that way when the story ends...

 

[David Mack]

Rise Like Lions builds upon the events of "The Sacred Chalice," and starts about five years after that story, based on my approximations of the chronology.

Could you tell us what your version of when the various MU stories take place David?

I don't understand your question. If you're asking about the dates covered by Rise Like Lions, I answered that already, a few posts ago: 2377–2381.

 

[David cgc]

I think he meant that he was curious about the chronology you mentioned working out of when all of the previous MU stories happened.
