Star Trek representations of the 7 Deadly Sins:
Pride - Romulans - The First Peer - Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore
Greed - Ferengi (obviously) - Reservoir Ferengi - David A. McIntee
Envy - Cardasians - The Slow Knife - James Swallow
Wrath - Klingons (obviously) - The Unhappy Ones - Keith R.A. DeCandido
Lust - mirror Humans/Bajorans/Andorians - Freedom Angst - Britta Burdett Dennison
Gluttony - Borg - Revenant - Marc D. Giller
Sloth - Pakled (obviously) - Work is Hard - 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.

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.… (meer)
