| - The novel was co-written by Jeffrey Lang and J.G. Hertzler, the actor who portrayed Martok on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. As Lang explained in a post on Trekbbs in July 2014, he was brought in at a later stage in the creative process, adding to and changing Hertzler's first draft: Writing Left Hand was a much different process (than Abyss). J.G was much more involved. He developed a very detailed outline (with Marco's assistance, I believe) and wrote a first draft. The reason they brought me in was because 1.) J.G. had to go onto other projects and 2.) While his draft was fascinating, it wasn't exactly a novel. In fact, it read much more like a play -- a Shakespearean play, at that. All the characters spoke in very high-flown language and were bigger than life. It was exhilarating... and exhausting. As I recall -- and it's been a while -- I tried to reuse as much of J.G.'s prose as I could, but it was very difficult to incorporate. Key speeches were used, but I had to pretty much start over from chapter 1 and retool with an eye toward making it "novel-like." Inevitably, I ended up adding characters and scenes. I'm very proud of Pharh, the Ferengi character. He was all mine.
