Story Synopsis
"Honor Blade" continues Diane Duane's exploration of Romulan culture that began in "My Enemy, My Ally" and "The Romulan Way." In this gripping narrative, the fragile peace between the Federation and the Romulan Empire is threatened when a diplomatic mission goes awry. Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise must navigate treacherous political waters as they work alongside Commander Ael t'Rllaillieu, a Romulan officer who has broken with her people's leadership but maintains a fierce loyalty to true Romulan ideals.
As civil war looms within the Romulan Empire, Kirk finds himself caught between warring factions while trying to prevent a conflict that could engulf the entire quadrant. The story masterfully balances political intrigue, action, and the ethical dilemmas that made Star Trek: The Original Series a cultural phenomenon, while diving deeper into the honor-bound culture of one of the Federation's most enigmatic adversaries.
Collector's Q&A
Q: Is this book part of a series? Do I need to read other books first?
A: Yes, "Honor Blade" is part of Diane Duane's Rihannsu series that explores Romulan culture. While it can be enjoyed as a standalone adventure, you'll appreciate the character development more if you're familiar with the previous books in the series, particularly "My Enemy, My Ally" and "The Romulan Way."
Q: How does this 2000 edition differ from other printings?
A: This 2000 paperback edition features the classic Pocket Books Star Trek design aesthetic from the turn of the millennium. It includes all the original text and was part of a period when Star Trek literature was expanding the universe in ways the TV shows and movies hadn't yet explored, making it particularly valuable to collectors interested in the evolution of the franchise's extended universe.
Q: Who is GoFigment?
A: GoFigment is a small business owned and operated by collectors who share your passion for science fiction memorabilia and literature. My commitment to you is simple: I only offer items I would proudly display in my own Star Trek collection. Every book is personally sourced, authenticated, and handled with the reverence it deserves—whether it's destined for your reading enjoyment or your display shelf of Trek memorabilia.
