Product Description

Product Description

Arthurian in its themes and scope, this epic two-part saga is the story of one Klingon's battle to preserve his empire and his dream. The price of victory has been high. In the aftermath of the Dominion War, The Klingon General Martok, newly acclaimed Chancellor of the Klingon Empire, returns to the homeworld together with his adopted kinsman, Worf. They find a society splintered into factions and seething with unrest. Many Klingon warriors flock to Martok's banner, but his enemies are strong - chief amongst them his own bastard son...Rebellion, civil war and betrayal rock the Empire in this stirring tale of families riven by bitter conflict and a society poised precariously between redemption and dishonour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Klingon action!, Oct 5 2003
By "luckylynx" (La Mesa CA) - See all my reviews
Wouldn't it be great if the next Star Trek incarnation was a Klingon series, and the premier episode this story! This is great Klingon action. One of the best things I liked about it, the Klingon women get a lot more respect than on the past TV series. Besides the evil Gothmara, Martok's wife is much better written here than the TV script. On DS9, she was such a, LOL, how do you say "female targ" in klingonase? IThe novel is a two part, and the second one is great too. I deduct a point, because parts of it seem a copy of John Ford's "The Final Reflection", and others seem word for word out of Kat Ramo's "Citizen Of The Empire". Not that that would be a disappointment to true fans of the Klingons! I recommend this highly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular novel!, Sep 5 2003
By Bill Williams (Clinton, MS USA) - See all my reviews
J.G. Hertzler and Jeffrey Lang have crafted a true Star Trek epic in every sense of the word. Rich in detail, it is the story of Martok's quest to learn what it really means to be a Klingon. Think "Star Trek meets King Arthur by way of John Eldredge (Wild at Heart)", and you have the essence of "The Left Hand of Destiny". If it's possible to give this 2-part story a sixth star, I would do it in a heartbeat, it is that excellent! :)

3.0 out of 5 stars P.C. not Klingon, Sep 4 2003
By A Customer
I like the Klingons and I was hoping this one by Martok himself would be slammin. But what spioled it for me was the P.C. stuff to sooth hacked off female klin about the status of Klingon women on the show. They're a Warrior race, so get over it! Most of the charactures seemed right on especially Martok. But the characture of Martok's wife Shrilla was off. In the show, the klingon wife is not a warrior. Remember the ep "House of Quark", she gets kicked out or killed when her husband dies, unless she marries his killer. So I for one did not think this was true to the show. Also the villian and her son, I guess Klingon Warriors are just wipt by their women? (NOT!) Klingon Warriors are a mix between Bikers and Vikings, not hen-pecked wimps! So all in all I would not say it's a real KLINGON story. "Kayless" was better. I am not interested in the second parter.

Is it the Klingons themselves who are boring? Or just novels about them? Though I enjoyed watching Hertzler's interpretation of Martok in the TV series DS9, I found his book... Read more
