Product Description
Book Description
Paramount Pictures' newest epic space adventure! The Enterprise is ordered to escort Klingon Chancellor Gorkon safely into Federation space for negotiations. But Spock and the crew must avert a destructive conflict when Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy are held by the Federation's greatest enemy. Based on the screenplay by Nicholas Meyer and Denny Martin Flynn.
From the Publisher
Internal pressures, enormous military expenditures, and the destruction of their primary energy source have brought the Klingon Empire to the verge of catastrophic collapse.
To avert disaster, Gorkon, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council, proposes negotiations between the Federation and Klingon Empire, negotiations that will put an end to the years of hostility between the two powers, and herald a new era of peace and cooperation. Captain James T. Kirk and the U.S.S. EnterpriseTM are dispatched to escort the Chancellor safely into Federation space.
But a treacherous assassination brings negotiations to a sudden halt and places Kirk and Dr. McCoy in the hands of the Federation's greatest enemy. With time running out, Spock and the Enterprise crew work to uncover the deadly secret that threatens to propel the galaxy into the most destructive conflict it has ever known.END

Once again, the book far outshines the movie.,
By
This review is from: Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country (Paperback)
The movie version of this story was not bad, certainly not as bad as the movie version of "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier". Still, just as Dillard managed to turn that abysmal movie into a more than passable book by managing to plug a great many of the holes in the plot with better explanations of what was happening, so here, too, the same author manages, while MOSTLY remaining true to the plot of the movie, to turn a fairly good movie into an excellent book by explaining a couple of things that the movie failed to make clear. (Now if we could just turn this author loose on a few of the original-series episodes that made no sense, we'd be in business...)

Terrific,

This review is from: Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country (Paperback)
Brilliant. Innovating. Moving. J.M. Dillard has done a splendid job intrepreting one of my favorite ST movies. I mean J.M. Dillard's knowledge and understanding of Klingon culture is not only more than adequate but also is almost genuinely flawless. There is no more unique Klingon than a bald, one-eyed Shakespearean Klingon like General Chang. Only a human-raised Klingon in Starfleet can equal to it in uniqueness.

This review is from: Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country (Paperback)
I am not a TOS reader, but I found this book really exciting! It is by far the best Star Trek book I've ever read. The pace was ideal. There weren't unnecessary details. Everything was straight to the point. I really recommend this book.
