The big stop on our final shore leave of Season 2 of our Star Trek novels multi-year mission takes us to Camp Khitomer and the last best chance for galactic peace - aka the 1991 theatrical release "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country." The final film featuring all of the main cast from the original Star Trek, the cast literally 'signs off' right before the opening credits... but first this is a great allegorical tale of the end of our own Cold War back in the early 1990s, as told through the Klingons coming to grips with the fact that they can no longer maintain the arms race with the Federation. Treachery, assassination, mind-rape, and a Klingon Bird of Prey that can fire while cloaked are the setting for a terrific movie! Rob and Butch could talk about it all day long, but you probably don't have more than three hours for it, so we will keep it close to that.
