Book 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.
Keith R. A. DeCandido was born and raised in New
York City to a family of librarians. He has written over two dozen
novels, as well as short stories, nonfiction, eBooks, and comic books,
most of them in various media universes, among them Star Trek,
World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Marvel Comics, Buffy the Vampire
Slayer, Serenity, Resident Evil, Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda,
Farscape, Xena, and Doctor Who. His original novel
Dragon Precinct was published in 2004, and he's also edited
several anthologies, among them the award-nominated Imaginings
and two Star Trek anthologies. Keith is also a musician, having
played percussion for the bands the Don't Quit Your Day Job Players,
the Boogie Knights, and the Randy Bandits, as well as several solo
acts. In what he laughingly calls his spare time, Keith follows the
New York Yankees and practices kenshikai karate. He still lives
in New York City with his girlfriend and two insane cats.
