This review is from: Klingon for the Galactic Traveler (Star Trek (Unnumbered Paperback)) (Paperback)

"A warrior fights to the death." That quote alone speaks volumes about "The Klingon Way." Star Trek Klingon for the Galactic Traveler is an excellent addition to your Star Trek library. Not long after reading through this book, I almost felt as if this were a real culture I was reading about. Some of the Star Trek "extras," as like to call them are at best, superfluous. That is not the case in this book. If you're even remotely interested in or intrigued by the Klingons, this book is worth the price. My only complaint, as with other Star Trek "extras," is that it's peppered with black & white photos. Thank you very much to the author for this one.

Klingon for the Galactic Traveler builds on the introductory studies of Klingon culture and language introduced in The Klingon Dictionary. For those who want to learn more about Klingons, what they eat, how they think, feel, etc., Klingon for the Galactic Traveler is a fine place to start your quest for knowledge of Klingons.

By A Customer

This review is from: Klingon for the Galactic Traveler (Star Trek (Unnumbered Paperback)) (Paperback)

This seems to be the best book if you are trying to learn the Klingon Language "tlhingan". It includes a dictionary and a grammer part. Really nice!
