''Beginning an all-new series of Klingon adventures!''

== Summary ==

;From the book jacket:

:''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|Order of the ''Bat'leth'']], [[Captain]] {{dis|Klag|Lieutenant}}, son of M'Raq, leads the crew of the ''Gorkon'' into the unexplored Kavrot Sector to find new [[planet]]s 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!''
