Substance: Short stories, each of which explores one of the "seven deadly sins". Settings include most of the Star Trek universe, but only one story (the last) utilizes the Classic Cast. All are interesting and reasonably well-written and on-point to the chosen sin, but none are outstanding. The last one (Sloth) is quite funny. Pride: The First Peer, Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore; Greed: Reservoir Ferengi, David A. McIntee; Enby: The Slow Knife, James Swallow; Wrath: The Unhappy Ones, Keith R. A. DeCandido; Lust: Freedom Angel, Britta Burdett Dennison; Gluttony: Revenant, Marc D. Giller; Sloth: Work is Hard, Greg Cox. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

PRIDE. GREED. ENVY. WRATH. LUST. GLUTTONY. SLOTH. The Seven Deadly Sins delineate the path to a person's downfall, the surest way to achieve eternal damnation. But there is a way out, a way to reclaim salvation: blame it on the demons--taunting you, daring you to embrace these sins--and you shall be free. The painful truth is that these impulses live inside all ofus, inside all sentient beings. But alas, one person's sin may be anotherbeing's virtue. The pride of the Romulan Empire is laid bare in "The First Peer," by Dayton Ward and Kevin Dilmore. A Ferengi is measured by his acquisition of profit. "Reservoir Ferengi," by David A. McIntee, depicts the greed that drives that need. The Cardassians live in a resource-poor system, surrounded by neighbors whohave much more. The envy at the heart of Cardassian drive is "The Slow Knife,"by James Swallow. The Klingons have tried since the time of Kahless to harness their wrath withan honor code, but they haven't done so, as evidenced in "The Unhappy Ones,"by Keith R.A. DeCandido. Humans' darkest impulses run free in the Mirror Universe. "Freedom Angst," by Britta Burdett Dennison, illustrates the lust that drives many there. The Borg's desire to add to their perfection is gluttonous and deadly in "Revenant," by Marc D. Giller. To be a Pakled is to live to up to the ideal of sloth in "Work Is Hard," by Greg Cox.

The Borg to represent Gluttony is an interesting choice, "Revenant" used their insatiable hunger to assimilate to drive the story, scariest on in the book by far.
Ferengi greed provided a bit of comic relief as partners in a deal out maneuver each other.
The Klingon story was my favorite, looking at an event in the early careers of Kor, Kang and Koloth.
I didn't much like the Mirror-DS9 story, "Freedom Angst", odd considering I love both individually. ( )
