For sure. The more I read it the more I think that the Rime belongs beside
Shakespeare as an original Klingon story, channelled from Qo'noS in an opium-
fuelled trance and put into pale English. Seriously, how can this NOT be a
Klingon story? A warrior stranded alone on a ship and harried by Death itself
as punishment for a single dishonourable act...
