Therefore, please be courteous to other users who may not be aware of current developments by using the {{spoiler}}, {{spoilers}} OR {{majorspoiler}} tags when adding new information from sources less than six months old (even if it is minor info).

This novel suggests the reason for the change in appearance of Klingon characters such as Koloth, from smooth to ridged foreheads, is in reaction to a renewed importance in Klingon society on the teachings of Kahless during the movie era. Thus, Klingons wishing to show their reverence for Kahless somehow obtain the physical feature Kahless himself displayed. The exact details are left vague, and are not inconsistent with later [[canon]]ical revelations in ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]''.

Summary

From the back cover:

Delicate peace talks between the Federation and the Klingon Empire become complicated when Captain Kirk discovers that Starfleet prisoners of war are being held captive on a remote jungle planet. Now, with the unexpected assistance of an old adversary, Kirk embarks on a daring rescue mission, knowing that if he fails, the Federation will deny all knowledge of his intentions.

But powerful forces within the Klingon government are determined to keep the shameful secret of the hostages' existence, even if it means obliterating every last trace of the prisoners -- and anyone who comes to save them!
