IN THE NAME
OF HONOR Star Trek TOS By Dayton Ward Pocket Books (Simon & Schuster) - February 2002 ISBN 0743412257 PB Science Fiction / TV Tie-in Reviewed by: Rachel A Hyde, MyShelf.com Buy a US || UK Copy The USS Gagarin is thought to have disappeared
with all hands lost back in 2279, but eight years later, at a diplomatic
function Kirk, Spock, and their colleagues get a chance to find out just
where the ship went. For the talks are for peace between the Federation
and the Klingon Empire, and a new breed of Klingon has arisen to take
the helm, embracing the warrior's code of Kahless, which might make it
all possible. These Klingons believe in honor and are keen to convert
or conquer any of their race who do not espouse this cause. One black
stain on this newfound honor is a remote prison planet where the few survivors
of the missing ship are languishing in the dilithium mines and it is Kirk's
mission to release them and show that Klingons are now above all that
sort of thing. But it isn't going to be easy, as Kirk and his crew will
find themselves caught between two rival groups of fierce Klingon warriors! |
