 Rating:  - The story of Kahless and the reconciliation of the legend and the factsThis is one of the best Star Trek novels, independent of the preface denoting the television series. It gives us a glimpse into the history of the Klingon Empire, depicting the actual events that led to the ascension of Kahless to the throne and his establishment of the fundamental laws of Klingon behavior. The story has two tracks, a recapitulation of the actions of the original Kahless as he battles to overthrow the tyrant Molor and a modern one involving the clone of Kahless in the present. ...

The lie that is the legend and the truth are separated in this story. If you like Klingon battle scenes and history as it happened this was one of the first Klingon books of it's time. It's surprising to be that MJF wasn't allowed to expand on this concept. Currently, R. A. DeCandido writes about our favorite Klingons. However I'd still like to see a few by Friedman. ... Read More Rating: - An untold story of a GodKlingon mythos are treated on the series as a footnote rather than an established fact.This Novel seperates the man from the myth.If you follow Star Trek closely like I do then you can easily recognized the legend of Kahless and instead of unknown references and stories about him,you'll get the truth from his own words. It's amazing how well this Novel is written and how they really paid attention to detail.All the stories told always have a motitum of truth behind them as well as the actual truth ... Read More |
