The book reprinted DC Comics' Star Trek #9-16, an eight-issue story arc called New Frontiers when it was originally released in 1984-1985. The arc was written by Mike W. Barr, penciled by Tom Sutton and inked by Ricardo Villagran. It was recolored by Julianna Ferriter.
A.C. Crispin wrote a four-page introduction about the growth and evolution of Star Trek through TNG, novels, comics and games, illustrated with cover art from the arc. She described proposing a plot idea for a Mirror Universe novel to Pocket Books editor David Stern, only to learn that something similar had already been done in The Mirror Universe Saga.
