Review: When I got this book, I was already a fan of the Klingon language (enough to say {tlhIngan Hol vIjatlhlaH, 'ach vIjatlhlaHchu'be'.}), so I was certainly expecting that I'd enjoy it, as I did "The Klingon Dictionary" (TKD). However, what I was not expecting was that I'd enjoy much, MUCH more than TKD. TKD is a very fun book, and a very good starting point for anybody who's interested in the Klingon language. However, it is basically a book of grammar - a reference book - and thus it is at times a bit dry. The sort of book that you pick up, learn something from, smile and put down. "Klingon for the Galactic Traveler" (KGT) is something quite different; it's a well-written, well-thought-out, imaginative crash course into Klingon culture, and one heck of a page-turner! Prior to reading this book, I was of the belief that while Marc Okrand was a great linguist, he wasn't really all that invested in Klingon culture. Boy, was I wrong; not only does the book show his familiarity with all that Klingons had done on-screen up until that time, but it's also the sort of book that I'd like all future Trek writers (including fanfic:ers) to read (along with Ford's "The Final Reflection") before they incorporate Klingons into their stories, to provide a deeper cultural background to their characters. This and "The Klingon Way" are probably the two of Okrand's books that I'd recommend even to ordinary Trekkies who are interested in Klingons but aren't really out to learn the language. There are certainly some parts that cater quite specifically to us Klingon-speakers, but even if I weren't a jatlhwI', I expect I'd still give this book 4/5 stars. Also, if you do read it, you'll probably pick up some {tlhIngan Hol} without really trying, sense it's weaved into the text.
