A Klingon Stole my Leg in Dublin Then Read my Book!

Ever lose your heart to a starship trooper? Well, try losing a leg to a Klingon!

I don’t mean Chewbacca rip an arm off, limb loss. I mean, he got a hold of my prosthetic leg and tried to make a weapon out of it to whip up Klingon bloodlust. He left me clinging on (see what I did there) to the side of a transporter while he read my new book, The Time Warriors, When Angels Burn.

All I did was ask to sit on his Klingon captain’s chair for a photo then the great leg escapade began. It seems Bat’leths are on their way out so rushing at an enemy with a human leg will make an enemy turn and run. Well, you can be sure that whomever’s leg the Klingon is holding ain’t running anywhere any more. I bet he watched Ghosts of Mars. I tried top kick him in the behind but it got stuck and don’t ask me how.

Does a Klingon shit in the woods? After seeing my leg sticking out of there, I don’t want to know, really.

So there I was, leg off, stump hanging and doing my best to hop when off he went and sat in his command chair to read. So there he sat, my leg at his feet like Commander Kruge’s pet lizard dog in Star Trek 3 The Search for Spock. Then I noticed he’s reading my new book The Time Warriors, When Angels Burn. I bet Worf wasn’t such a naughty Klingon.

So, if the Klingonds buy the book in numbers equal to the space armada that attacked Cardassia in Deep Space 9, then I can buy a new leg or two. Am I still clinging on to the transporter where he left me? Will I ever get my leg back? And how many books will the Klingon race buy? Or was Q right? I woinder has he ate any good books lately? Should |I be insulted if they don’t eat them?

Klingons are komplicated!
