I.K.S. GORKON series by K.R.A.D

[timothy]

As I read the next gen relaunch I was wondering if the this series is any good . I mean I love his next gen novels are these worth it ? and if so are there going to be any more than the four we have now . Also is this crew in the tales of the dominion war or captin's table .

I think it's some of the best trek out there.

I doubt there will be any more, but you would have to ask KRAD.

 

[timothy]

the reason I was asking . was , the crew of the GORKON made an apperance in Q&A . which is the currrent book I am on . and the ship sounded hughe , like the mirror universe worf's command ship or bigger.

 

[Technobuilder]

Are you sure that's not a Vor'cha class?

They look awfully similar.

 

[Christopher]

The Qang class is a lot like a Vor'cha only stubbier, going by the blueprints in the end of The Brave and the Bold Book Two. However, that cover image used in the article does seem to be drawing more on the Vor'cha for reference.

I am picking up all four of these this week on my nook . so that way I'll have them .
out of all the races in star trek universe klingon's were allways my favorite .

\ Also is this crew in the tales of the dominion war or captin's table .

The Captain, Klag (the Klingon second officer from "A Matter of Honor") appears in both. The DW story deals with an event referenced in the series (the crew didn't get together until after the war ended so he's the only character to appear) and the TftCT story deals with events even earlier in his life. Several of the characters from the series also appear in A Singular Destiny.
FYI the series takes place at the same time as the DS9R, so the appearances in Q & A, and ASD actually take place years after the end of the last book.

I haven't read these yet eight, and probably won't until after I get caught up on all the relaunches, but I have heard a little bit about them. I've heard nothing but good. I've also heard that the IKS Gorkon and several of the characters were actually introduced in an earlier, numbered TNG novel. If I'm not mistaken, it was TNG #61 - Diplomatic Implausibility. Can someone else confirm?

[Defcon]

Yes, the Gorkon was in Diplomatic Implausibility, and also in the second book of the The Brave and the Bold duology before it got its own series.

 

[Paris]

IKS Gorkon is some of my absolute favorite Treklit out there. A must read series for anyone who is even a little bit of a Klingon fan

 

[Technobuilder]

Never was a big Klingon fan (excluding Worf), then I read KRAD's IKS Gorkon series, The Art of the Impossible (also by KRAD) and The Left Hand of Destiny duology by J.G. Hertzler & Jeffery Lang.

Ever since then, the Klingons have been one of my favorites.

 

[timothy]

so I need to read brave and the bold first before the rest of the series ?

 

[elaithin]

"Need", no. But I'd highly recommend it.

 

[captcalhoun]

only a filthy petaQ with no honour would skip TB&TB and DI.

you will buy all of them or your soul will be condemned to Grethor forevermore!

Qapla!

 

[shanejayell]

Another reason to read Brave & the Bold is the Worf/Spock team up! It's a RIOT!

 

[timothy]

how many series does this dueolgy crossover into ?

 

[elaithin]

All of them.

 

[captcalhoun]

TB&TB starts with an Enterprise prologue, then skips to TOS, then to DS9, then VGR and concludes with TNG/GKN.
