Title: Along with William Shatner's Spectre, a must-read.
Review: M.Gelfund(6-1-98) stated that Diane Duane went against the principle of the "Mirror, Mirror" episode by having Spock fail. And DS9's "Crossover" didn't go against this principle by portraying Spock's reforms as leading to the Empire being conquered with its people forced into slavery? The hardcover and audiocassette versions of Dark Mirror came out before "Crossover" was aired, and this allowed the paperback to come out afterward. I found Dark Mirror to be infinitely superior to "Crossover," although the mirror episodes aired after the paperback came out were an improvement. William Shatner's Spectre follows up on events after DS9's "Shattered Mirror," and explores the anguish mirror-Spock would have felt seeing his reforms backfire the way they were portrayed as doing on DS9. Both mirror novels are a must-read for any fan of the classic episode.-Robert Treat.
