Absolutely! That's what makes it a CHALLENGE! Inside the prison of that
varray Fronsh saccharine mess of a story, there is a Klingon warrior epic
trying to get out! Maybe it can be shown as the tale of a wee vicious
prince who voyages from world to world looking for an enemy worthy of
battle, but finding only weak fools not even worth crushing. Clearly a
Klingon tragedy of the most soul-rending kind.
