Summary Edit

From the book jacket

The Klingon Empire remains the Federation's most fearsome and uneasy ally, but can any Human fully understand the heart and soul of a true Klingon warrior? During crucial negotiations on Deep Space 9, Gowron, leader of the Klingon High Council, tests human understanding of the Klingon way by sharing the powerful story of one warrior's quest for honor...

Pok is a young Klingon caught up in the dangerous complexities of clan politics. When his father is murdered in his own home on the day of Pok's Rite of Ascension, Pok must find the assassin and close the circle of vengeance. But as he searches for the truth amidst strange aliens and treacherous friends, Pok discovers that every day can be a good day to die and that only his own warrior's training stands between him and the business end of d'k tahg knife!
