Summary: A great book!
Comment: 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: A Good Saga Indeed.....
Comment: 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: Sorry that some don't like this book...
Comment: 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.
