Reactions and Reviews
"A Bitter God to Follow, A Beautiful God to Behold," by Susan Crites, is an excellent story of the breaching of the immense cultural void that separates the Klingon peoples from those of the Federation. Religion provides a common ground for communication and a tentative understanding that could ease mutual fear. The ending is a lovely thought, especially in a day and age when the threat of nuclear destruction hovers all too close. [1]
