He also co-wrote the Klingons sourcebook for FASA's Star Trek tabletop RPG, which was for a time the most complete and in-depth source on Klingon language and culture available. Probably his widely-known work is in a sense his least original - two novels in the Star Trek Expanded Universe, but even here he broke new ground: The Final Reflection is a historical novel of the early years of Federation-Klingon interaction, with a Klingon as its hero, and How Much For Just The Planet? is a musical comedy. This last was in a sense also his greatest weakness, since a writer who never repeats himself can be very hard to market effectively, and he never achieved the fame many feel he deserved. John Milo "Mike" Ford (1957 - 2006) was an SF writer, game designer, and poet, noted for his intelligence, wit, and originality.
