Summary: Q:Who Buys all these darn Star Trek books?
Review: A:*true believers*
I mean now even the Klingons are the featured players in a book! What's next the bar tender on DS9 gets his own line of novels? Trek isn't even that popular anymore, people!!!!

Summary: Sorry that some don't like this book...
Review: And it isn't necessarily as good as most other Star Trek books, but it's not that bad for a space opera with plenty of tension and good, believable characters. Plus I love it whenever the Klingons are involved in anything, because they truly are a very interesting "race" (just below the Vulcans). Get this book and add it to other sci-fi works as: "Stranger in a Strange Land", "Puppet Masters", "2001", "2010", "Rendezvous with Rama", "Ringworld", all the "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" books, as well as books as new to the genre as "Advent of the Corps" and others.

Summary: A great book!
Review: Having been inducted into the honorable and prestigious Order of the Bat'leth, Captain Klag commands one of a number of ships sent into the Kavrot Sector to find new planets to conquer for the Klingon Empire. However, what he finds is a planet populated by the Children of San-Tarah, a species perhaps more dedicated to the warrior ethos than the Klingons themselves. Having proved themselves worthy opponents, the San-Tarah make Klag an offer he can't refuse. The Klingons and the San-Tarah will compete in five contests - if the Klingons win then the world and its people belong to the Empire, but if the San-Tarah win then the Klingons will leave and never return. With such an honorable and glorious tournament it is indeed a good day to die! But, before it's over, Klag will find his ability and his honor tasked to the breaking point.I must admit that I have not read many Star Trek books lately, but this book was definitely one worth returning for! The author really brings the Klingons alive in this story, giving the reader a real feel for them. I enjoyed the story, the action, the characters and (definitely) the glossary of Klingon terms at the end. This is a great book, one that I highly recommend to all fans of science-fiction!

Summary: Good stuff.
Review: Highly amusing. Action packed. Even for non-Klingon speaking life forms. Excellent characters. Certainly the best Trek to be found at the moment.

Summary: A Good Saga Indeed.....
Review: Inspired by the Klingon ship episodes in Deep Space Nine; R.A. DeCandido has everything for Klingon fans in this two book saga. Aboard the I.K.S. Gorkon, Captain Klag, from the Next Generation episode "A Matter of Honor," commands the ship. The Klingon Defense Force ship is a Chancellor Class out to explore space just as the Enterprise. Only this adventure embodies more of the Klingon value system; which is more entertaining than Federation based stories. The characters have just as much honor and will to do "the right thing," just as the Starfleet officers do. It's great to see Federation politics from a different perspective. The San-Tarah world rivals that of the Klingons. Klag and his men have to challenge them in several contests that pit their fighting skills. If the Klingons are defeated they can never return. However if they win; the consequences will have political ramifications that will influence the Empire forever. Another great addition to this novel is the glossary of Klingon terms. It's an overview of terms used in Klingon episodes from all the Star Trek TV shows. It looks like this is an ongoing series that we can look forward to for the next few years.

Summary: kai kassai KRAD!
Review: Keith R. A. DeCandido is a writer of excellent pro-novels and wonderful fan-fiction. His new Star Trek series "IKS Gorkon" should be a huge hit with the klinfandom. Here is epic Klingon adventure written in the fanfic tradition. I say this with the sincerest praise for his work. DeCandido "gets it". He knows the Klingon heart. His writing perfectly captures the archetypal appeal of this alien race for the legions of Trek fans who identify with it. You know this author has true Klingon spirit when you read his dedication to Gene L. Coon, John Colicos, and John M. Ford. Qapla' KRAD! Populating the warcruiser IKS Gorkon are Klingons we met in episodes of TNG and DS9, developed far beyond their one-shot supporting roles. We catch up with Kornan, Leskit, Kurak, and Toq, who have somehow all ended up on Klag's crew. And as good as these characters are, DeCandido's own creations, such as Dr. B'Oraq and Leader Wol, are even better! KRAD realizes that there are male and female Klingons, just as there are fans of both genders. And he writes characters interchangeably, without stereotypes. There's plenty of action and violence and even a little sex for a klinfan's passion. In "A Good Day to Die", the first novel of the series, the Empire is searching for new inhabited worlds to conquer. The crew discovers a lupine species, the Children of San-Tarah, whose pure warrior culture earns its respect and admiration. A battle to the death seems inevitable, as these fierce canids will never surrender to the Empire. So Klag and his San-Tarah counterpart conceive of an honorable alternative: a sequence of contests will determine the planet's fate. The story continues in Book Two of the series, "Honor Bound". Order both together, and hope for more books to come in this exciting series!

Summary: A Good Book to Read
Review: Once again we get to see the Klingons as something more than the sterotypes we have grown used to. We see the IKS Gorkon's crew once again as they do the empires bidding while helping to re-establish the true nature of Klingon honor. This fast paced tale takes place on the planet San-Tarah whos primary inhabitants are a species of warrior like bipedal canines. These are not at all like the Klingons usual foes and instead of just destroying them and taking the planet Klag accepts the leaders challenge to partake in contest to see who becomes. victor. Klag accepts and ultimately the Klingon's lose the contests and agree to leave the planet in peace. This however causes problems as the Klingon fleet commander has no intentions of letting the planet alone. This sets the stage for book two which sets Klingon against Klingon
