Star Trek Klingon

Star Trek Klingon is a wonderful audio experience. It is narrated by Michael Dorn (Lt. Cmdr Worf) and Robert O'Reilly (Chancellor Gowron). The main character is a young Klingon named Pok. He is thrust into the center of Klingon politics, when on the day of his Rite of Ascension his father is murdered in his own home. Chancellor Gowron immediately takes young Pok under his wing and sets out for revenge. The entire plot and the way it plays out is very, very good. This tape is a wonderful way to spend an hour and a half on the highway. The book makes it even better, giving you the full details of the entire story. If you're a fan of Klingons and you've not picked this one up yet, you're wrong.

A fine book

There is no reason why this book shouldn't deserve 5 starsI loved reading how Gowron narrating the story of a young Klingon's quest for vengeance. Kudos to Messrs. Smith and Rusch.

This book deserves six stars!

This book is about a young boy named Pok. His father is killed by a Romulan Assasin Probe, or R.A.P. for short. Pok starts out on a quest filled with danger, betrayal, and honor. His quest is all about avenging his father's death. He took the blood oath. Now he has to live it out, or die trying. The other thing that I liked about this book is the fact that it portrayed a lot about Klingon tradition, culture, and values. I think that you won't be able to put this book down- I couldn't and I loved it. If you are a Trekkie like me, this is the book for you.

This is the BEST Star Trek book I have read.

A novelized version of the CD:ROM game of the same name, this is an intimate insider's view of the Klingons, and of Gowron, their(previously confined to the role of two-dimensional Trickster only) leader. A wonderful tale of a male, adolescent initiation into society, with the story continuing forward, with action in the last third of the story to complete to tale. Sound confusing? Once you begin reading it you won't be able to put it down. Interesting presentation of a three-dimensional Gowron and "Reggie" interacting.

A great production

50 minutes. This CD takes you into the role of Pok, a young Klingon man. You hear Klingons around you on the ship and learn how Klingons interact with other races and with each other. A very good production narrated by Michael Dorn (Worf), and directed by Jonathan Frakes (Riker).
