I haven't seen this one yet myself (though I should have it by next
week). I will point out one thing though, Michael Jan Friedman is the
author of, among other works, ST:TNG: Kahless. Although I quite enjoyed
Friedman's representation of Klingons in his earlier book, Faces of
Fire, he seemed to go astray in Kahless, creating many new words for
flora and fauna which bore no resemblance to the patterns of tlhIngan
Hol as we understand them. Mind you, he's the author, and he's free to
do that, but that doesn't instill confidence in me that he knows his Hol
and to trust his sentences in this new Travel Guide.
Just a thought,
Lawrence
