New and upcoming Star Trek book/comic releases for the month of November:
A Very Klingon Khristmas
Out now from Gallery Books is A Very Klingon Khristmas.
A Very Klingon Khristmas recounts, in rhyming verse, the treasured children’s story of the birth of revered warrior Kahless and celebrates the rich Klingon Christmas traditions originating on Qo’noS and spreading across the Star Trek universe. This hilarious parody from acclaimed book packager becker&mayer! firmly plants Klingons at the centre of the Christmas story-where they rightly should be-and includes everything from a Santa equipped with retractable claws, Tribbles in the stockings of naughty Klingon boys and girls, and the warmth of a hot cup of mulled blood wine. Illustrated in a nostalgic Norman Rockwell-inspired style, A Very Klingon Khristmas is the perfect holiday gift for every Star Trek fan.

The U.S.S. Enterprise has encountered many strange beings and situations but none has chilled them to the bone more than death. Someone aboard the starship has killed Captain Kirk — or so it seems. While the Captain recovers, it falls to his loyal crew to uncover the facts behind the case and learn whether one of their own is a cold-blooded killer.
The investigation is hampered by the unwanted arrival of the Klingons and an ill telepath who sends the entire crew on a journey through Dante’s inferno. And then, just when everything is starting to calm down, Finnegan, Kirk’s nemesis from his Academy days, arrives to take charge of the mystery.
Murder, mayhem, a wedding, and loads or action mark this graphic collection of stories featuring the Star Trek debut of acclaimed author Peter David.
