Nope, this isn't a Mirror Universe set of references but Star Trek does "What If" in the Trek Universe:

Oh, I don't know about that. The sort of person who'd buy a book like that is probably someone who has a pretty good handle on the minuate of the Star Trek chronology, so they'd probably enjoy it. Besides, if the recent Mirror Universe anthologies (now Shatner-free!) did well, there's probably enough of a market to support this book as well.Can be dangerous to limit your audience like that. Star Trek fans are a minority of readers, and the number of Star Trek fans who might enjoy a what-if story are even less than that.

Well, the regular novels have gained a great deal more freedom since DS9 went off the air, but this series does go even farther. With the Voyager story, "Places of Exile," it seems that the writers are treading on ground that the show never really bothered exploring.I've been looking forward to these particular Trekverse novels. The authors should have a lot more freedom, plot- and character-wise, than they would with a novel set in the standard, ho-hum universe.

"North Dakota... the final frontier. There are the voyages of the Conestoga Wagon Enterprise, whose ongoing mission is to seek gold and new viens of ore, and to boldly go where no prospector has gone before!"Personally, that second collection looks really interesting, although I'm disappointed that there won't be any stories set in the ever-popular Cowboy Universe.
