"Klingon Bird-of-Prey Haynes Manual"

Star Trek: Klingon Bird-of-Prey Haynes Manual (Ben Robinson & Rick Sternbach)

I don't know what exactly a Haynes manual is, but what you've got here is a slim little tome about, yes, Klingon Birds of Prey from Star Trek. Wisely, it's light on technobabble and instead is full of charts and diagrams (if you've ever wondered where the bathrooms are on these starships, here's your answer!), and the book's delving into Klingon society is a nice side-trip. To come totally clean, I did fall asleep reading this book, but that was more because I was exhausted and not because the book is boring, which would make a great jacket blurb for the next print run.

Grade: B+
