Review by Jeff Ayers
Keith R.A. DeCandido tackles more than the Gorkon in his latest page-turner. Instead of being labeled at "I.K.S. Gorkon Book 4," the heading is "Klingon Empire." Initial confusion with the change turned into delight as I devoured the pages.
In tatters after its previous adventure, the Gorkon desperately needs repairs, and the ship barely makes it to their home world. The crew is happy to be home and looking forward to some well-earned leave. B'Oraq heads to a medical conference that she knows will probably end in disaster, and Wol reluctantly joins one of her men on a trip to visit his family on a farm. G'joth heads home to Krennla and realizes that you truly can't go home again. Toq goes on a secret mission that will force him to confront his past, and Rodek begins to have memories of another life. Klag must confront his treacherous brother.
The depth of the characters and insight into the Klingon home world make this the best Klingon novel DeCandido has written to date. Each chapter highlights one of the many stories, and he does a masterful job juggling the numerous storylines. Magnificent in scope, it will leave readers desperate for another adventure with all of the characters, not just Klag and his ship. DeCandido truly has honor. Qapla.
