comes a delightfully funny, brilliantly poignant novel about three
strangers who are brought together by the father they never knew.

traumatic childhood. Wealthy and successful, she leads a lonely and
disjointed existence. Dean is a young, unemployed, single dad whose
life is going nowhere. Robyn is eighteen. Gorgeous, popular and
intelligent, she entered her first year of college confident of her
dream to become a pediatrician. Now she's failing her classes. Now
she's falling in love for the first time.
Lydia, Dean and Robyn live very different lives, but each of them,
independently, has always felt that something was missing. What
they don't know is that a letter is about to arrive that will turn
their lives upside down. It is a letter containing a secret--one
that will bind them together and show them what love and family and
friendship really mean.

-- most notably several episodes of Deep Space Nine-- revisited
this most intriguing of parallel worlds. Now the next in the
sequence of Mirror Universeanthologies spanning more than two
hundred years of Star Trekhistory features a dozen new twisted
tales from the otheruniverse -- a sinister yet eerily familiar
setting where history has taken a different turn. Here the heroes
and crewmen we know and love are transformed into radically altered
and even opposing characters -- brutal and ruthless versions of
themselves. Throw restraint to the winds and indulge the dark side
with some of the Mirror Universe's most entertaining villains.

some new -- set during the events of the television series give the
authentic feel of a newly discovered 'missing season' of Star Trek:
The Next Generation.

recreates all the sense of adventure that marked the original "Star
Trek" when it first burst on to our television screens in 1966.

business' from the original series so that they read like 'lost
episodes' of the television show, exploring aspects of the "Star
Trek" crew and their adventures which have intrigued Trekkers ever
since the original series ended. The result is a magnificent
tribute to the series that changed the face of television history
