Product Description:
Delicate peace talks between the Federation and the Klingon Empire become complicated when Captain Kirk discovers that Starfleet prisoners of war are being held captive on a remote jungle planet. Now, with the unexpected assistance of an old adversary, Kirk embarks on a daring rescue mission, knowing that if he fails, the Federation will deny all knowledge of his intentions.
But powerful forces within the Klingon government are determined to keep the shameful secret of the hostages' existence, even if it means obliterating every last trace of the prisoners -- and anyone who comes to save them!

From the moment I began reading this book, I found myself thinking, "There's a basic flaw here; this book is set between "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" and "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country", but if the events in this book happened, I don't see how the reactions of the characters to the suggestion of peace with the Klingons in Star Trek VI would have existed; surely, their reactions would have been far more positive, as the groundwork for peace had been established already.

I, for one, am happy to see more novels taking place in Klingon space. It gives more of an insight into the evolution of their culture, and the era of "The Original Series" is a time of epocal change in the philosophical bent of the Empire. There are those who want to go back to the teachings of Kahless, while at the same time, negotiations are ongoing with the Federation. However, there has been a nasty little secret that some in the Empire don't want to come to light, while others believe that it ... Read More

The mission: to free Starfleet officers considered MIA by the Federation but who are actually ... Read More

It's about time. I used to love the Star Trek novels to the point that every other book I read was Star Trek. But lately, it seems that they are just cranking them out to capitalize on the franchize without any concern for quality. Many of the recent novels have been poorly written, with characters that don't act or speak like their on-screen counterparts. Most of the books are written by the same few names who, it's obvious, have grown tired of the work but still want the paychecks. It's gotten to the ... Read More

I've been out of the Star Trek novel business for awhile. I used to buy them religiously, but they just never seemed to be worth the money to me. I was at the library recently, though, and there were a bunch of more recent Star Trek books there, so I checked them out.
The first book I looked at was In the Name of Honor, by Dayton Ward. The first thing that struck me was the dynamic cover. The Klingon war ship swooping over the canyon, firing away, was just beautiful. The insides were pretty good, ... Read More
