Star Trek: The Next Generation—Shadowheart

(DC, 1994-1995)
™ and ©1994 Paramount Pictures

This excellent limited series based on the popular “Star Trek” franchise opens on a very solemn note: the funeral for Lt. Worf’s adoptive brother, Nikolai Rozhenko, who was among the first to die in a Klingon attack on a colony on the agricultural world of Lisarion.

Or was he?

After Rozhenko’s death, rebellions against Klingon leaders are reported to the United Federation of Planets, and the leader of these insurrections is a hooded figure who goes by the legendary name of Shadowheart. Has Rozhenko found a new, more hostile mission in life? Worf and the crew of the USS Enterprise seek the answer to this and other questions in this gripping tale by Michael Jan Friedman and Steve Erwin.
