The Sorrows of Empire

Introduction (blurb)

 * taken from David Mack's website:

"In every revolution, there is one man with a vision."...

Captain Kirk spoke those prophetic words to Commander Spock of the I.S.S. Enterprise, hoping to make a difference. He could not have imagined the impact his counsel would have.

Taking Kirk's advice, Spock commits himself to the greatest gamble in the history of the Terran Empire: democratic reform. Enemies inside the empire want to stop him; enemies outside the empire want to destroy it and him with it.

But none of them suspect the shocking truth: The fall of Spock's empire will be the catalyst for a political chain reaction — one that will alter the fate of their universe forever.
