Product Description

Product Description

Newly inducted into the prestigious Order of the Bat'leth, Captain Klag, son of M'Raq, leads the crew of the Gorkon into the unexplored Kavrot Sector in search of new planets on which to plant the Klingon flag. There they discover the Children of San-Tarah, a species with a warrior culture that rivals -- and perhaps exceeds -- their own. Klag could call in Gneeral Talak's fleet to bring the world under Klingon domination -- but the San-Tarah offer a challenge he cannot refuse. The Gorkon crew and the San-Tarah will engage in several martial contests. If the Klingons lose, they will undertake never to trouble the planet again. But if Klag and his men are victorious, the San-Tarah will cede themselves to the Empire, and Klag will have single-handedly conquered an entire world. This is the first tale in a glorious adventure that will be remembered in song and story throughout the Empire...

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, 12 Feb 2004
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another story about Klingon honour., 24 Feb 2004
By Mr President "POTUS" (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I bought the book as i had enjoyed the Star Trek Rihannsu series featuring an exploration of Romulan culture. As well exploring the Romulans xenophobic side, it also finds time to examine its social hierarchy as well as going into some depth about Romulan history. In comparison, the IKS Gorkon series is quickly degenerating into yet another story about Klingon honour. Klag is your stereotype Klingon captain who has a nasty honourless plotting brother. Your run of the mill crew who prattle on about their latest conquest (bet you didnt see that one coming!). The problem is that the author doesnt show anything new about Klingons, its all been done to death in the TV series. By the third chapter the book is getting heavily boged down with far too many characters, same old talk about, yes you said it - honour and more small talk about how exploration and conquest will strengthen the mighty empire. By the time you actually get around to the Children of San-Tarah you are so tired from having to force yourself to read this far, that you couldnt give two hoots if they get conquered or not.

I would give this book a miss if i were you, unless your a die hard Klingon fan or have got some serious cash to burn. Otherwise i condemn this book to Gre'thor.
