In The Klingon Art of War, Keith R. A. DeCandido creates a convincing and enthralling alien take on Sun Tzu's work, but with Klingon proverbs. Writing as a Federation translator of a classical Klingon text, DeCandido structures his Art of War in much the same way that a classical scholar might, including Precepts from Kahless the Unforgettable and "modern commentary by K'Ratak, son of M'Lind," the end result of which is a fully immersive volume sure to delight any Trekker. Though serious Star Trek fans will derive the most enjoyment from this work, with its references to various events from across the franchise, even casual fans will find something interesting. For those looking to learn more about the Klingons after seeing a few episodes, consider this book a cultural primer. ( )
