I'm about ready to read Left Hand of Destiny as I go through DS9-r and I'm wondering if I should read Diplomatic Implausibility first to get the full ambassador worf story. Do the two books tie in with the whole ambassador worf story or do they stomp (contridict) each other. I'm not sure how much worf is even in Left Hand of Destiny.
Diplomatic Implausibility + Left Hand of Destiny
- Thread starter Divine
- Start date
The two books are consistent with each other but don't overlap. And DI takes place shortly after TLHoD, so you don't need to read it first.
What Christopher said. Worf has a good-sized supporting role in TLHoD, but it takes place prior to DI despite coming out two years before it.
shouldn't that be after it? DI was published a couple of years before TLHoD came out.
color me confused

Depends on whether you consider the second 'it' to still refer to TLHOD or to DI. I understand what you wrote, KRAD, but I also see where ronny got confused.

I hate temporal mechanics...
it's just a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff
I'm about half way through book 2 of Left Hand of Destiny and Worf gets a lot more time in this book than in the first half. Which isn't a problem as Martok is able to really carry the story as the main character, an idea that had me worried before I started reading them.
But Worf doesn't get much time to do ambassador stuff, they all get rather distracted at the beginning of book 1.
Poppycock. It has have going to have happened. It is going to have been happening. It will be was an event that could will have been taken place in the future. Simple as that.
I just finished DI and they did seem to go together well (although of course nothing in TLHoD is mentioned in DI by anyone which is surprising due to the huge things that happened in TLHoD. But obviously since it was written afterwards, you have to over look it)
The book was great however...besides the element 604 technobabble The worf enterprise reunion was fun, riker and klag reunite was great. It was funny who klag is getting his arm from, lol. I loved all the characters, sad to see Vall and Drex leave and especially leskit (he was one of my favorites).
I don't know how much of the 4 Gorkon books mention all the details on what happens in DI but to me, it would seem DI is a must read if your going to read the Gorkon books. I was surprised by how much they were featured in the book.
I'm a little worried about "The Brave and the Bold" book. It's not one I'm going to read so I hope I don't miss too much Gorkon story.
Anyways, as chance would have it, Gorkon books 1-4 arrived today so I'm going to go start book 1.

The Gorkon/Empire books do allude to things from both DI, Left Hand of Darkness, and Brave and the Bold, but it lets you know what you need to know without giving away the whole story you haven't read.
In fact I still have both Brave and Bold volumes on my shelf still waiting to be read.
Indeed, I think a Klingon book titled Left Hand of Darkness would be great though.
I keep doing that! Just the other day when talking about the Le Guin book I called it Left Hand of Destiny. One of my friends spent two hours trying to find it at the used book store before he called and I told him of my mistake.
