Book Description

Star Trek (Unnumbered Paperback) September 1, 1997
"Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam."

"It is a good day to die."

What is the proper response to this? What should I do?

Now, with Klingon for the Galactic Traveler you will know.

Organized into four easy-to-use sections, this book will guide your steps through the Klingon language and customs:

  • The regional dialects of the Empire

  • Common, everyday usage of the language

  • The slang phrases and curses that color the Klingon volcabulary

  • Most importantly, the proper verbal, physical, and cultural responses.

A misspoken word to a Klingon, who is quick to take offense and even quicker to take action, could have dire consequences. This book is the indispensable guide for the galactic traveler.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ..., September 12, 2002

    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
    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.

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!
