A fine conclusion to the Mirror Universe Shatner trilogy, but nothing extremely groundbreaking. The usual tropes are here, and the plot itself didn't completely wow me. I was fascinated by the revelations about the Preservers and role they play in creating the multiverse, but the fact that the conclusions the story comes to don't jive well with what is established about them in canon doesn't sit extremely well with me.

I liked this quite a lot, even though one aspect of the ending seemed highly unlikely to me. I won't spoil it. Do be aware that this is the third book in a trilogy, beginning with Spectre and then Dark Victory. All three are credited to William Shatner, with Judith Reeves-Stevens and Garfield Reeves-Stevens.
The concept for this trilogy is set in the time frame of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy have survived into this time period. McCoy is very old, of course, and Spock as well, although Vulcans are much longer lived than Humans so it doesn't show that much on him. As told in other books, Kirk took a short-cut into this future and is still relatively young. The trilogy also involves an interaction with the Mirror Universe, and we get to see a number of our Federation's counterparts throughout the three books, including Tiberius, Kirk's opposite, who plays a very prominent role.
"Mirror, Mirror" was probably my favorite Star Trek TOS episode so I've always enjoyed other chances to visit that concept. These three books did a good, fun job with it. Preserver also reveals the reason why the two universes split in the first place, and I found it rather charming.

Quite the convoluted mess, and a structural nightmare.
The first 10% of this is basically the end of the previous book, then it feels like we're starting a new story that lasts to the 50% mark, then it feels like we start what should have been book 4 with yet another story.
Not that the stories are unrelated, nevertheless the demarcation lines are too well defined to feel like your reading a complete novel. Rather it feels like two-and-a-bit-plots stitched badly together.
Still entertaining enough read... i did not remember how this one ended at all from my previous read.

Good and evil are not always what they seem, but friendship and love and family CAN overcome loss.
What really struck me within this trilogy was the artful weaving of the stories and characters of the TV episodes that I watched for so many years.
I have the story line and the back ground in my head and heart and am ready to pick up where I accidently started the last trilogy seven books ago.

Very frustrating conclusion to the Mirror Universe trilogy. I will say this, Shatner and his ghost writers really dug deep in TOS mythology. The Mirror Universe angle had great potential, but then they took a right turn by bringing the Preservers into the story.
Spoilers:
Again, I still struggle with Teilani. I just never felt she worked in the series. Her death at the end felt telegraphed and unnecessary.
And then there is Tiberius, the evil Mirror universe counterpart to Kirk. In his universe, he ruled the despotic Terran Empire, that would give the Empire a run for its money. He destroyed worlds, enslaved species, and murdered on a whim. And he is released to go back to the Mirror Universe at the end of the book. Apparently Kirk making one nice gesture to him is enough to change him, nevermind the countless atrocities he committed. I guess Starfleet JAG is a bit lenient.

This book was really not bad, but there was a lot of dialogue this time and not much action, it felt a little bland.
I also think it was absolutely tragic that Teilani died, and I don’t understand why they had to kill her for the plot. Since TOS Kirk has suffered loss after loss with women he has loved, and it is heartbreaking that even now, he has to suffer yet another loss and cannot just be happy in love for the rest of his days.
I think the character of Kirk deserves that break, he deserves happiness and love.
I didn’t much care for Teilani’s character; but she clearly meant a great deal to Kirk.
A slightly disappointing end to this mirror universe trilogy, with quite a few unanswered questions that I don’t think will be resolved in the next trilogy- like what happens to Tiberius? Does he actually change? What about Joseph?
A very confusing book overall, and I felt like it was quite hard to follow most of the time, so I definitely missed a few things that were going on too.
I’m left feeling a little blank after this one, and rather deflated.

An entertaining end to "The Mirror Universe" Trilogy. Although, I again have to remind all readers that there is absolutely no way that William Shatner wrote ANY of these books. Given his legendary enormous ego, I get the feeling he just stood behind the ghostwriters and would say things like "Kirk would never do that!" or "Kirk vs Kirk...perfection."
The real writers do a great job exploring all of the implications of the Mirror Universe and deep Star Trek cuts from TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and more. I wish more of the original Star Trek crew had commissioned their own fan fiction series like this!

I did write a separate review for Book 1, Spectre. This review is for the series as a whole. I won’t rehash what I’ve already said, I love Spectre so much. I was so excited to continue on with the series. Unfortunately, Books 2 and 3 do not live up to the awesomeness of Book 1. I felt like we switched from Shatner to his ghost writers. Book 2, Dark Victory, felt like nothing more than a placeholder. It existed just to give details so we would get what was happening in Book 3. Teilani turned into a completely different person and Kirk went from maverick to unhinged. I was also completely out of my league with the science. Normally, I can keep up in Star Trek. I get the basics and pick up things as I go. I know that a cloaked vessel emits tachyon particles and that’s the best way to detect it ... but I can’t really tell you why it does or what tachyon particles are. Dark Victory went to a more advanced level that I knew I’d never be able to reach. It felt like a struggle just to understand what was going on half the time. Book 3, Preserver, got better, but I was still disappointed. The story line that was developing in Spectre was what I wanted to read. But by the end of Preserver, we were in a completely different quadrant and I’m still not sure how we got there. Preserver dealt more with history than with science so I felt a little better on my own turf, but I really didn’t like how it made me question literally everything I had seen and learned from Star Trek up to that point. And the ending just felt incomplete, like Kirk lost who he was along the way. Overall, I was just dissatisfied. I wanted to enjoy it, and I did enjoy parts, but Shatner let me down and I mourn what this series could have been!!

That’s right, I, the woman who reads Harry Turtledove books where he has so many characters on the canvas and continually jumps around between them, found this novel by William Shatner and his co-authors Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, to be very confusing to follow.
Star Trek: Preserver is the last novel in a trilogy by the trio of authors in which Captain Kirk, resurrected in the 24th century, fights an unknown foe in the Federation and a known foe in his mirror universe counterpart, Tiberius. Along the way, Kirk gets married to a half-Kling, half-Romulan super-woman.
This wife, Teilani, is dying at the beginning of Star Trek: Preserver. The belief is that only Tiberius can save her since Kirk believes that she was poisoned by a genetically engineered child of Tiberius’ design. However, Tiberius has plans of his own in acquiring an alien technology known to Kirk and the Federation in his universe, but which does not exist in Tiberius’.
As if this isn’t a complicated enough story, Tiberius’ efforts at gaining the technology are thwarted by another unseen species known as the Preservers. The Star Trek: The Next Generation cast is in the story too. Captain Picard has been kidnapped by two psych-historians who believe he is the key to the end of the universe which is imminent.

This is the sixth in a series of six books (actually, two trilogies). This series was my introduction to Star Trek novels, and I very much enjoyed these books. I actually read them out of order by mistake, and then re-read the whole thing in the correct order. Good stuff for the avid Trek fan! A very satisfying conclusion to the series.
(Note: if you think Shatner really wrote these books, you don't know much about publishing. His ghost writers, the Reeves-Stevenses, deserve the kudos here.)

Wonderful
This trilogy is so amazing! It takes any reader to places unexpected, tragic, exciting and you get to do it all in the company of old friends. These books spun a story beyond what I could have expected. They left me satisfied, tho sorry it ended and, of course, wanting more. A wonderful Star Trek story, especially because I haven't indulged in the written Star Trek universe in quite a while.

A crossover with Captain Kirk and Captain Picard. They both face Emperor Tiberius, from the Mirror Universe, and the resurfacing of Preserver obelisks. What is the connection? The story is filled with the mystery of their appearance and the universe may be on the brink of extinction.

William Shatner's Tek-wa... er, I mean, Preserver is actually a decent read. Kirk and Picard vs Evil Mirror Kirk.

“I didn’t become absolute ruler of the Terran Empire by thinking my enemies were guided by indefinable ethics.”
--Tiberius the First
In the action-packed conclusion of the Mirror Universe Trilogy, Captain James T. Kirk forms an uneasy alliance with his depraved doppelganger, Emperor Tiberius. Having uncovered a conspiracy within the highest levels of Starfleet, the unlikely duo work to unravel the complex tapestry of lies, misdirection, and attempted assassinations that have assailed them. The sudden reappearance of a race of powerful interlopers further complicates matters but may also be the key to unravelling the mystery. Star Trek: Preserver ties up the story arc brilliantly. It brings the characters full circle and finally reveals the truth behind the machinations of the enigmatic Preservers.
The Mirror Broken
With his paramour near death, Captain Kirk crosses to the Mirror Universe and confronts his own dark reflection. On a devastated Earth, buried deep beneath the blackened ruins of what was once the State of Iowa, the Emperor Tiberius watches and waits. From his secret base, the brooding tyrant welcomes his “ghost”. In a facility functioning as laboratory and sanctuary, James T. Kirk sees evidence of the horrors perpetrated by his counterpart. Analogue photos of a bloody purge of disloyal Starfleet officers hang on the walls. Weapons used against recalcitrant populations sit in illuminated sconces. The stuffed body of the diminutive but brilliant Balok reclines in a display case. These horrors serve as grotesque testimony to the depravity of the last Terran Emperor. But he is the only man who can save Teilani.
A Deal with the Devil
Suppressing the urge to murder his counterpart, Kirk demands answers. The poison used on Teilani was produced by a group of genetically modified children, bred to be both offspring and legacy for Tiberius. In a surprising twist, Tiberius confesses that he lost contact with one such group of assets and concludes that Starfleet used them to attack Teilani and distract Kirk. It’s what Tiberius would have done. Amused that actors in the Prime Universe were now interfering with his own plans, Tiberius agrees to help Teilani. He will provide the antidote to the poison, but Kirk must reveal the secrets of the mysterious First Federation—a highly advanced and reclusive people. Reluctantly, Kirk agrees. Teilani will live, but James T. Kirk must betray his principles.
Attack/Counterattack
A duplicate Enterprise-E decloaks in orbit of Kronos. Kirk delivers the cure and is immediately whisked away to serve as hostage, audience, and confessor for Tiberius aboard his perfect replica of Picard’s Enterprise. Weeks pass and when Picard and his crew finally disable the duplicate Enterprise, Tiberius is taken into custody. Finally bringing all the players together, Kirk arranges a meeting between Tiberius, Intendant Spock, Captain Picard, and the mysterious psychohistorians who are convinced that one of these key players will bring about the end of all creation.
Analysis:
While some trilogies feel like a drawn-out denouement by the final installment, Shatner and his collaborators continue to add fresh plot twists to the storyline. It’s a spider-web of intrigue and revelations with more turns than a West Virginia back road. There are times where it's too much to take in. The previous two installments introduced a multi-faceted group of antagonists—doubles from the Mirror Universe infiltrating Starfleet, the complex plot fashioned by Tiberius, an attack against Teilani designed to marginalize the Prime Kirk, and a strange pair of social scientists who provide necessary comic relief while positing universe-ending scenarios. The final installment ties up those plot threads while introducing the mysterious Preservers and their connection to everything. Star Trek: Preserver is complicated, but it is a thrilling read.

"William Shatner's 'Star Trek: Preserver' is an exemplary addition to the literary realm of science fiction. The narrative seamlessly intertwines intricate plotlines with a profound exploration of human nature and the intricacies of space exploration. Shatner's adept storytelling captivates readers with its compelling characters and thought-provoking dialogues, offering an intellectually stimulating experience.
The novel masterfully navigates the intersection of technology and ethics, mirroring my own appreciation for science, technology, and the philosophical implications therein. As an enthusiast of both literature and the scientific domain, 'Star Trek: Preserver' not only met but exceeded my expectations. Shatner's imaginative prowess and narrative finesse make this work an indispensable addition to the canon of science fiction literature, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow enthusiasts and scholars alike."

To those who say William Shatner is not a good writer well I have to disagree very much..Every book I have read thus far has been very interesting and this one was no exception..This one I believe is the last of this particular series.James makes a deal to save his wife and he does even though at the end circumstances arise again.Who or what are the preservers? While trying to find out this answer James learns something that could wipe out a universe.Will it be saved? I can't say this book has a happy ending ..and I don't know what to make of the child. But no matter Kirk at last is at peace and happy..This is a goal we all should want and we all should attain. To be happy and at peace..I will read this again soon..

This is a trilogy that starts to make you think that being lost isn't so bad. there are a lot of strange moments. William Shatner exposes some of that character that the rest of the acting crew refer too often in their memoirs, about the Great and powerful Captain Kirk trying to overshadow all others. Mr. Spock has emotional moments that would make Lenard Nimoy Cringe, Kirk even considers how if he has limits of what he could do, He has not yet found them, Barf!, There is a story, and it isn't that bad, it's just that in the background you can feel those fingernails scraping down the chalkboard. This is a Good Read.

Star Trek: Preserver answered most of the questions that were hanging at the end of Star Trek: Dark Victory. However, information on the Preservers, the children and other Starfleet secret operations was not completely forthcoming. With some things, it is not the final result that is important but the information leading up to a point. All of the aforementioned information did make a slightly more complicated read, but most things ended reasonably. In the final scenes, there was Kirk, Spock and McCoy as always.

Covid Book #24: Preserver (Star Trek: The Mirror Universe Trilogy #3) (8.5/10). Finale of a trilogy Shatner wrote about the Mirror Universe. Unbelievable how well Shatner spins a tale that pieces together canon while introducing new charters. Bravo. I've just binged 6 books by Shatner (2 trilogies). There is still another trilogy and a final book. I'm going to take a Star Trek break so I can savor the final trilogy even more. Again, Bravo Shatner!!!
September 5, 2018
Fantastic story line. Had me engaged for all 3 books of this mirror universe story. And I was genuinely surprised by the outcome. I would recommend anyone to read these books. I want to read more about the preservers. The blending of the different generations of Star Trek characters is seamless. Can’t wait to read the final 3 Shatner Star Trek books.
September 29, 2019
An interesting book although he jumps forward in time alot. I'm not fond of book reviews but just tidbits I didn't like otherwise it was an okay conclusion to the series. Still better than the spinoff movies of late after Nemesis. The last bit with Zef and Lily totally didn't need to be there. But the rest was well done albeit with one major spoiler which I'll just keep down somewhere. :(
May 27, 2021
Slutet på trilogin var mycket spännande. När jag kom till de sista avslutande kapitlen kändes det som att jag inte hade andats genom hela boken och fick verkligen ta mig tid till att tänka efter vad som hänt i boken. William Shatner är ju helt underbar tillsammans med paret Reeves-Stevens!

Magnifico, di questa trilogia questo è il volume che ho amato di più. Meraviglioso in ogni sua parte, mi ha catturata tanto e si, alla fine mi è scappata la lacrimuccia. Sento che mi mancherà un sacco questa trilogia, ma per fortuna ne ho ancora una da leggere.❤️

When it got to the part with the child, it felt kind of meanspirited. And then I couldn't really focus as well on the rest of the story because I kept wondering about the child. What happens with it at the end comes across sweet, but also potentially dated in some ways.
January 10, 2024
Good book. Lots of Kirk/Tiberius interaction. All our guys are very old like 150 except Kirk back from the dead at 62. Teilani Kirk’s wife DIES in the end. She saves them all. Why? Devastating. Why?

I really enjoyed the first half. After that the Preservers and the overused plot device of Starfleet having secret programs got old and crusty. I am so tired of Star Trek film and TV using conspiracy to drive Star Trek fiction...it gets so tiring and it's lazy.
Also Kirk's love life throughout these novels is just a ploy to get him to appear more human and less superhero...it doesn't work so just stop doing it.
