Reactions and Reviews
Mirror Kirk has sorted out the crewmembers who will join him in the revolution. Delivering Sulu and Chekov to a prison for execution, he decides to act on an opportunity to rescue members of the Resistance, and the revolution is underway sooner than he expected. Interesting aliens who can merge their bodies into one, and a fine tension between Kirk and Spock, unsure of one another and their trust put to the test as the mission goes awry.[1]
'Fait Accompli,' a mirror-mirror story with excellent development of our favorite counterparts....[2]
Sharon Decker's "Fait Accompli" has only one fault that I can see, which is, damn! I wish there had been more of it. "Mirror, Mirror" Kirk and Spock join to overthrow the evil Empire, and their first step is to rescue a pair of condemned prisoners (but it's a bit of a shock when one of the pair suddenly becomes, thinly disguised, Starsky and Hutch). In this universe, McCoy is a junkie and Uhura a freelance spy, while Kirk hesitates before trashing the Imperium because he hasn't managed to sell all his stocks and bonds yet --not nice folks, f'sure, but still believable and still with a peculiar sort of honor. They certainly are pleasanter than the rest of that universe. The plot, too, is exciting, with plenty of close calls and clever switches.[3]
