Star Trek: Klingon Empire is series of interlinked Klingon-centric Star Trek novels written by Keith DeCandido. The series was published by Pocket Books from 2003 to 2008.
Originally published as Star Trek: I.K.S. Gorkon.
Production
Following positive reaction to his novel Diplomatic Implausibility (2001), DeCandido was curious if there was sufficient interest in a Klingon-centric series.[1] In Voyages of Imagination (2009) by Jeff Ayers, DeCandido said "Pocket Books … was willing to take a chance." He had "already set it up" in Diplomatic Implausibility and The Brave and the Bold, Book 2 (2002), so he "took it forward" with two novels.[1] A third novel followed in 2005.
In 2008, the series was relaunched as Klingon Empire. The scope of A Burning House was expanded beyond the crew aboard the Gorkon. The series ended with A Burning House.
Members of Gorkon crew appear in the Destiny (2008) miniseries, by David Mack, and in A Singular Destiny (2008), by DeCandido.
