This anthology continues stories from various MU timelines, many of them as written in "Glass Empires", "Obsidian Alliances", and "Infinity's Prism". Dave Stern's "Nobunaga" details The Empress Sato One's efforts to eradicate rebellion against her rule.
Dayton Ward and Kevin Dillmore's "Ill Winds" is a prequel to TOS Mirror UNiverse, taking place before Captain Christopher Pike takes command of the Enterprise.
Margaret Wander Bonnano's "The Greater Good is also a prequel, taking place three years before the events of "Mirror, Mirror".
"The Black Flag", by James Swallow, is a tale of Vanguard in the Mirror Universe.
IN "The Traitor", Micheal Jan Freidman looks at the MU through the eyes of the Stargazer crew he introduced in Reunion.
In "The Sacred Chalice", Rudy Josephs gives new meaning to the ancient Betazed artifact entrusted to Lwaxana Troi.
"Bitter Fruit" by Susan Wright has the MU Kes, stranded in the Alpha Quadrant, and kept a secret from all- even the man she loves.
Keith RA DeCandido's "Family Matters" is the only story in the book I couldn't finish- although usually love DeCandido's work, the "subspace communications transcript" style was a bit dry.
IN Peter David's "Homecoming", Soleta returns to Romulus- with deadly cargo.
Jim Johnson's "A Terrible Beauty" answers many question about why Keiko Ishikawa came to Terok Nor, but leaves many more unanswered.
Christopher L Bennet's "Empathy" brings together members of the standard universe Titan crew in a web of love, deceit, and telepathy.
The anthology is brought to a close with David Mack's "For Want of a Nail" brings together the unlikely duo of K'Ehlyer and Barclay as a team raised from childhood to protect the secret of Memory Omega.
