BEGINNING AN ALL-NEW SERIES OF KLINGONâ„¢ ADVENTURES!
These are the voyages of the Klingon Defense Force vessel I.K.S. Gorkon, part of the mighty new Chancellor class. Its mission: to explore strange new worlds…to seek out new life and new civilizations…

…and to conquer them for the greater glory of the Klingon Empire!
Newly inducted into the prestigious Order of the Bat’leth, Captain Klag, son of M’Raq, leads the crew of the Gorkon into the unexplored Kavrot Sector to find new planets on which to plant the Klingon flag. There, they discover the Children of San-Tarah, a species with a warrior culture that rivals — and perhaps exceeds — the Klingons’ own, living on a planet that would be a great addition to the Empire. Klag could call in General Talak’s fleet to bring the world under the Klingons’ heel — but the San-Tarah offer Klag a challenge he cannot refuse. The Gorkon crew and the San-Tarah will engage in several martial contests. If the Klingons lose, they will go and never trouble the planet again — but if they are victorious, the San-Tarah will cede themselves to the Empire, and Klag will have singlehandedly conquered an entire world!

The first tale in a glorious adventure that will be remembered in song and story throughout the Empire!

The Order of the Bat’leth: founded after Kahless’s ascension to Sto-Vo-Kor, the Order was tasked with rooting out dishonorable behavior and spreading the word of Kahless to the Klingon people. In the subsequent millennium, the Order has become more ceremonial, but now Chancellor Martok has called the Order back to its original function — to preserve the cause of honor.

Book Two

Captain Klag of the I.K.S. Gorkon – the newest inductee into the Order — has given his word to the Children of San-Tarah that the Klingon Empire will leave them in peace. But Klag’s old rival General Talak has ordered him to go back on his word and aid Talak in conquering the San-Tarah’s world. Now Klag must stand against his fellow Klingons — but will even his fellow members of the Order of the Bat’leth, not to mention his own crew, follow him into disobedience? Or will they betray him to Talak?

The crew of the Gorkon faces its greatest trial in a glorious adventure that will be remembered in song and story throughout the Empire!
