Star Trek Mirror Universe: The Sorrows of Empire (MMP) Question

[BrotherBenny]

i want more from A Less Perfect Union-verse. Like, the Klingon War for a start.

QFT, it would be interesting to see more of what happened there.

I'm duly flattered, though honestly, I don't think the T'Pol-Kirk story would would benefit from expansion. As for exploring other corners of the ALPU-verse, such as the war... hmmm... how does "Supreme Allied Forces Commander Shran" sound to y'all?

I was actually thinking about a novel-length story about what T'Pol did during that century, whether she worked behind the scenes for a while or what-not to bring about a reversal of Earth's xenophobia; or something along those lines.

It sounds better than just telling us what Porthos likes to eat for 500 pages. In that case you would have to call it the ALPO-verse.

If so, I wonder why. Seems like a weird call, when there are so few publishing slots per year and so many different series with fans clamoring for more of each of them.

Answer: The Sorrows of Empire is one of the best trek stories of all time.

I have to agree with you there Snap. Even though I've read the GE version, the MMPB version is still one of my most anticipated books for next year.

In the words of the USMC, Boo ya!!!

^ No self-respecting Marine would ever use "Boo-yah" in that context.


Nootch.

Oh, and bunnies. Bunnies, with little goatees.

Not... a 21 Bun Salute?

 

[Therin of Andor]

I'm a little annoyed; if it was just an MMPB reprint then I could skip it, but there's the added material, and it's Mack so of course I'm buying it. But I feel like I have to pay full price for half a story.

There is an alternative. We can remove half of your brain instead. Then you'll have forgotten you already read some of the story.

 

[captcalhoun]

isn't it the Rangers who say Hoo-AH! ?

 

[Dayton Ward]

^ They muttered something, but I never bothered listening...

 

[captcalhoun]

well, you know Rangers: teach em something and five minutes later you gotta teach em again.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Must be why they've never won a World Series.

 

[Braxton]

I would actually like more Mirror Universe novels and I hope The Sorrows of Empire will have strong sales. A trilogy or two in the MU would be cool I think.

 

[Admiral_Young]

At first I thought it was weird we were getting a MMP for The Sorrows of Empire, then I read that it was getting expanded material and that sold me. So I'll be getting it too.

Hi, folks. I'm resurrecting this thread to let y'all know that TrekMovie.com has just posted an excerpt from this new, expanded edition of Star Trek Mirror Universe: The Sorrows of Empire. The excerpt is the new third chapter, "The Sleep of Reason," the first full chapter of new material in the novel. I hope you all dig it.
