Books like Star Trek The Next Generation - Kahless by Michael Jan Friedman
In Michael Jan Friedman's *Star Trek: The Next Generation – Kahless*, the Klingons’ revered first emperor, Kahless the Unforgettable, is replaced by a clone who believes he knows all of his legendary ancestor’s history. When an ancient scroll surfaces, it undermines the emperor’s certainty and threatens to unravel the Klingon Empire. With rumors of revolt and treachery swirling, the clone can trust only Captain Jean‑Luc Picard and Lieutenant Worf of the USS Enterprise. The scroll exposes a forgotten past where the young warrior Kahless defies the tyrant Molor, forcing him to confront a destiny beyond his original desire to protect honor and loved ones. The clash between past and present sparks a struggle for control of the empire, while the revelations in the scroll ensure that neither the Klingon people nor the galaxy will remain unchanged.
