IKS Gorkon
''Star Trek: Klingon Empire'' is series of interlinked Klingon-centric ''Star Trek'' novels written by Keith DeCandido. The series was published by Pocket Books from 2003 to 2008. Originally published as ''Star Trek:'' I.K.S. ''Gorkon''. Production Following positive reaction to his novel ''Diplomatic Implausibility'' (2001), DeCandido was curious if there was sufficient interest in a Klingon-centric series. In ''Voyages of Imagination'' (2009) by Jeff Ayers, DeCandido said "Pocket Books … was willing to take a chance." He had "already set it up" in ''Diplomatic Implausibility'' and ''The Brave and the Bold,'' Book 2 (2002), so he "took it forward" with two novels. A third novel followed in 2005. In 2008, the series was relaunched as ''Klingon Empire''. The scope of ''A Burning House'' was expanded beyond the crew aboard the ''Gorkon''. The series ended with ''A Burning House''. Members of ''Gorkon'' crew appear in the ''Destiny'' (2008) miniseries, by David Mack, and in '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Novels Based On The Mirror Universe (Star Trek)
A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, typically written in prose and published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the la, novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of ''novellus'', diminutive of ''novus'', meaning "new". Some novelists, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Ann Radcliffe, John Cowper Powys, preferred the term "romance" to describe their novels. According to Margaret Doody, the novel has "a continuous and comprehensive history of about two thousand years", with its origins in the Ancient Greek and Roman novel, in Chivalric romance, and in the tradition of the Italian renaissance novella.Margaret Anne Doody''The True Story of the Novel'' New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1996, rept. 1997, p. 1.

Book Series Introduced In 2003
A book is a medium for recording information in the form of writing or images, typically composed of many pages (made of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) bound together and protected by a cover. The technical term for this physical arrangement is ''codex'' (plural, ''codices''). In the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its predecessor, the scroll. A single sheet in a codex is a leaf and each side of a leaf is a page. As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a considerable investment of time to compose and still considered as an investment of time to read. In a restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer composition, a usage reflecting that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls and each scroll had to be identified by the book it contained. Each part of Aristotle's ''Physics'' is called a b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Next Generation Novels
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pro ...
