#PREY BOOK 1 SERIES#

Hell’s Heart begins in the 24th century where a Federation-led celebration honoring the members of the House of Kruge is set to get underway. While Khan’s plans took just decades to bear fruit, no one could have predicted how long the survivors of the House of Kruge were capable of waiting to accomplish their end game. As the proverb reveals, “revenge is a dish best served cold”. Prior to the birth of the Genesis Planet due to another adversary of the Enterprise, captain and crew were reminded of the long game the exiled madman played in order to exact his revenge. Utilizing one of the worst defeats suffered by a Klingon at the hands of James Kirk, Miller intertwines canonical events from the television shows and films with new elements, serving as the onus for the revenge of Kruge, who perished at the hands of Kirk in a fiery pit on the Genesis Planet as it exploded in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Weaving an epic tale worthy of a 50th anniversary trilogy is no easy task, yet John Jackson Miller wrote Star Trek: Prey – Book I: Hell’s Heart as if he had planned it for over three decades, returning to the franchise’s first, and perhaps greatest enemy – the Klingons. Seventy-five years after the era of Kirk and Spock, the Federation’s mortal enemy was now wearing a Starfleet uniform, and nothing would ever be the same again. But as Commander Worf soon learns, Korgh may be after far bigger game than anyone imagines, confronting the Federation-Klingon alliance with a crisis unlike any it has ever seen.ĭebuting on the bridge of the Enterprise-D nearly 30 years ago, Worf launched an era of unprecedented storytelling in Star Trek lore as writers crafted a cultural backstory for the Klingon species worthy of a Shakespearean play. Now, one hundred years later, while on a diplomatic mission for the United Federation of Planets, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise are snared in the aged Korgh’s trap-and thrust directly in the middle of an ancient conflict.
