One of the most potent devices in fiction is the concept of meeting ones opposite – whether in morality or ability – or as is more common in the fantasy genres, one’s evil counterpart. Certainly the original Star Trek episode “Mirror, Mirror†is one of the most fondly remembered and one that fans and professionals alike have speculated upon ever since.
In this splendidly workmanlike sequel to Jerome Bixby’s most memorable script, set just after the film The Search for Spock, the errant, peripatetic crew are making their reluctant way back to Starfleet HQ to face the music for stealing – and destroying – the Enterprise, when they encounter their doppelgangers from that Mirror universe. In the intervening decades since they last met, the scientists of The Empire have discovered the secret of travelling between dimensions and have dispatched their most feared ship to our Reality. Now, as the vanguard of an overwhelming invasion armada, this evil crew are intent on conquering our galaxy in the same ruthless manner in which they dominate their own…
Kirk and Company must thwart this deadly threat whilst staying one step ahead of his own comrades – who still have orders to arrest them on sight – in a tense action-packed battle epic of double-cross, subterfuge and deep strategy.
Seamlessly blending spectacular drama with the subtle character interplay that distinguished the TV series, this swashbuckling space-opera (originally printed in issues #9-16 of DC’s monthly Star Trek comic-book in 1985) is reassuringly compelling and a sure hit with die-hard fans and casual readers alike.
