Book excerpt: Go into the alternate "Mirror, Mirror" universe to meet the cold-blooded crew of the I.S.S. Enterprise and their captain, the ruthless Jean-Luc Picard, in this collection of three graphic novels! Space... The final frontier. These are the voyages of the I.S.S. Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to conquer strange new worlds, to enslave new life and new civilizations... To boldly go where no one has gone before! In the other-dimensional Mirror Universe there is no United Federation of Planets, only a cruel Terran Empire, where advancement comes through assassination, brutality is commonplace, and kindness is a weakness. In Mirror Broken, the Terran Empire is on its last legs in its war with the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, but Captain Jean-Luc Picard has learned of a final chance for victory: a revolutionary new Galaxy-class starship that could turn the tide of the war. The ship is called Enterprise--and Picard intends to take it. In Through The Mirror, when the Enterprise-D discovers a burned-out, pillaged Andorian vessel, the search for the culprits leads to some startlingly familiar faces. But, how did the Mirror Universe crew find their way to ours, and what does Emperor Spock have to do with it? Plus, it's interstellar espionage aboard the Enterprise-D when the Mirror Universe crew infiltrates Captain Picard's ship! And in Terra Incognita, the Enterprise crew returns to business as usual, little realizing the serpent in their midst--one of their own has been replaced! Six stories focusing on fan-favorite crew members of the Enterprise-D--including Deanna Troi, Wesley Crusher, and Selar--each connected by the machinations of this sinister doppelganger.

Download or read book Beyond the Cradle written by Anne Stanton and published by Beak In Hill Books. This book was released on 2022-01-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robyn Thomas feels cranky, discouraged, and thirsty as she plods up an unfamiliar mountain road bordering The Monongahela National Forest under a blazing July sun. She fuels her angst by kicking rocks and forming thoughts of revenge on her parents for dragging her out of NYC and depositing her into nowhere, which includes the newly purchased house down the road, the one Robyn vows she’ll never call home. It’s the worst birthday of her life. In a rush of unexpected movement, a girl she describes as an Olympian goddess descends from the heights (with a tagalong boy) to swiftly overturn each of Robyn’s complaints; but Samantha Sticker’s simple outpourings don’t stop there. No. Life is waiting for Robyn, and Samantha is just the girl to introduce her to its fullness. Question is, will Robyn take hold? ~ ~. ~ Beyond the Cradle is a Literary Fiction novel that rests easily in the hands of ardent teen readers, and adults alike. The story opens in the mid-nineteen-eighties, extends into the early nineties, and briefly scrolls back into the forties. Its narrator, Robyn Thomas, glides through several of the world’s largest cities, but only one place captures her soul, a mountain community in West Virginia. It’s not so much the place that moves her, as the people who’ve been influenced by the place over generations; for Robyn, one person stands out in particular, Samantha Sticker. The novel encompasses two coming of age stories of homeschooling girls from different family dynamics, dimensions, and worldviews. One arrives nearly fully packaged to walk the earth with surety and grace; the other is obstinate by nature and, even though brilliant, holds false assumptions about herself and life in general. Heart-warming truths run throughout the story, such as, the beauty we can find in family relationships and anchored friendships; the rewards received in practicing sexual abstinence before marriage; the sense of wonder discovered through and within nature; how homeschooling is an honored way of life; and how life choices can add or detract from wisdom's song. Movements within the storyline address the various traps we are prone to enter, mostly unaware, and how God gently comes alongside to uncover those places, if our hearts yearn for true freedom while we're still here on this cradle, called earth. "This story [has] a unique voice and tone. It's a delight to the senses and the soul." ~ Chris Fabry, author of War Room

Surveying a nebula as part of their continuing exploration of the previously uncharted “Odyssean Pass,” Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise encounter a rogue planet. Life signs are detected on the barren world’s surface, and then a garbled message is received: a partial warning to stay away at all costs. Determined to render assistance, Picard dispatches Commander Worf and an away team to investigate, but their shuttlecraft is forced to make an emergency landing on the surface—moments before all contact is lost and the planet completely disappears. Worf and his team learn that this mysterious world is locked into an unending succession of random jumps between dimensions, the result of an ambitious experiment gone awry. The Enterprise crewmembers and the alien scientists who created the technology behind this astonishing feat find themselves trapped, powerless to break the cycle. Meanwhile, as the planet continues to fade in and out of various planes of existence, other parties have now taken notice…. ™, ®, & © 2016 CBS Studios, Inc.

And while this potential intergalactic chaos looms, Commander Riker finds his plans for command and marriage soured by a brutal, high-level inspection of the ship from which the crew may not escape unscathed...
