Product Description:
They have been the Federation's staunchest allies, and its fiercest adversaries. Cunning, ruthless, driven by an instinct for violence and defined by a complex code of honor, they must push ever outward in order to survive, defying the icy ravages of space with the fire of their hearts. They are the Klingons, and if you think you already know all there is to learn about them...think again.
From its highest echelons of power to the shocking depths of its lowest castes, from its savagely aggressive military to its humble farmers, from political machinations of galactic import to personal demons and family strife, the Klingon Empire is revealed as never before when the captain and crew of the I.K.S. Gorkon finally return to their homeworld of Qo'noS in a sweeping tale of intrigue, love, betrayal, and honor.

Earlier this year, Keith R.A. DeCandido's I.K.S. Gorkon returned, this time under the banner of Klingon Empire. The series premise was changed to provide a more expansive view of Klingon life, instead of focusing on the kind of characters we're already used to seeing on TV: the crew of a military vessel. It's a good idea, and one that benefits from the fact that it isn't starting from scratch; we've had a few books to get to know the Gorkon crew, and in this book we follow them off the ship as it ...

Minireview: A BURNING HOUSE is a craftsmanlike work, a good novel that pleases the reader without the embarrassing lapses in technique and judgment that so often plague series fiction.

Highly recommended.
Elaboration: I picked up A BURNING HOUSE under the same circumstances that I buy ... Read More

Well, this isn't your typical Klingon but its still fun. It is a little surprising that the publishers let him write a 400 page book about back story. The whole book is about shore leave for the Gorkon. There is the guy who tries to go home again, the beks that goes to the harvest festival, the doctor who no one listens to, and Klag trying to sort out his screwed up family. That last bit is the more interesting as it deals with Klag/Worf's brother and has a brief detour to DS9. All in all, its ... Read More

This recent book is a follow-up of sorts or an addition to I.K.S. Gorkon series of books: A Good Day To Die (2003), Honor Bound (2003), and Enemy Territory (2005) by the same author. Most would know that, but some may not.
Early STAR TREK: maybe producers felt these strange, rough, people just kept "clinging on" so the Klingons became permanent residents. Their dress and portrayal was very much uncertain in most early STAR TREK shows, with the Klingons looking much different, ... Read More
