Star Trek: The Eugenics Wars: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh : Volume 2

Product Description "A strange, violent period in your history." -- Spock Many unanswered questions remain about the terrible Eugenics Wars that raged on Earth during the 1990s, an apocalyptic conflict that brought civilization to the brink of a new dark age. Centuries later, as Capt. James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise™ are forced to defend a colony of genetically enhanced humans against Klingon aggression and sabotage, Kirk must probe deeper into the past -- and into the glory days of one of the greatest adversaries he has ever faced. 1992. Almost twenty years ago, Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln, undercover operatives for an unknown alien civilization, failed to prevent the Chrysalis Project from creating an entire generation of supermen and women, genetically engineered to be stronger, smarter, and more resourceful than ordinary human beings. Now, at last, the children of Chrysalis have grown to adulthood, and are rapidly demonstrating that superior abilities spawn superior ambition. Perhaps the most formidable of this new breed of supermen is the charismatic Khan Noonien Singh. Working behind the scenes of history as head of a vast global conspiracy, Khan's power soon stretches across a quarter of the planet, but that is only the beginning of his grand design. Determined to unite humanity beneath the enlightened rule of a genetic elite, Khan dreams of leading his fellow superhumans to complete and total domination of the world. But several of his gene-engineered brothers and sisters have equally grandiose visions for the future, visions that recognize no one but themselves as supreme ruler. Gary Seven and Roberta watch in horror as the children of Chrysalis wage a covert war against one another, threatening the safety of millions and the future of the entire world! The Eugenics Wars: Volume Two is an earth-shattering thriller that reveals the secret history of the twentieth century -- and the ultimate destiny of the tyrant known as Khan.

KHAN'S LAST STAND!Jacqueline Bundy "The Trekker Newsletter" Lightning can indeed strike twice in the same place, as THE EUGENICS WARS: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume Two proves to be every bit as exciting, entertaining, and humorous as the first volume of this saga. The second portion of this engrossing story takes the reader from the beginnings of Khan's consolidation of his power, through the events that lead to his flight from Earth on the DY-100-class sleeper ship "S.S. Botany Bay." From beginning to end, this novel is eminently satisfying.... Kilian Melloy "wigglefish.com" An ingenious blend of actual history and Trek mythology...Volume Two is an audacious, fast-moving conclusion to the "Eugenics Wars" duology, one-upping the considerable dramatic intensity and inventive accomplishment of the first volume, and bringing the story to a remarkably smooth, coherent conclusion....Cox's electric, fun-loving style of storytelling is the perfect medium to take the reader into the twenty-first century and beyond. Michelle Erica Green "Trek Nation" Just as much fun as its predecessor, weaving Trek history in and out of recent headlines, mostly through the point of view of one of history's more entertaining secret agents, Teri Garr look-alike Roberta Lincoln....Cox's obvious affection for Trek comes through as strongly as his knowledge. The heart-pumping thrilling sequel to the bestseller Eugenics Wars Volume One.Picking up where the amazing bestseller Eugenics Wars Volume One left off, we pick up the story of Khan Noonian Singh as a teenager. No longer willing to simply adjust the course of Earth's destiny here and there, Khan now intends to make himself ruler of earth. Gary Seven, extraterrestrial agent, and his human colleague Roberta Lincoln must now face off against their one-time ally in a battle for control of the planet earth itself. Alarmed by the potential dangers of the Chrysalis project, extraterrestrial secret agent Gary Seven teams up with human Roberta Lincoln to neutralize the growing threat of Khan Noonien Singh, an ambitious, teenage, artificially enhanced human who is determined to seize control of Earth. Reprint. Gary Seven, extraterrestrial agent, together with his human colleague Roberta Lincoln, finds himself the final line of defence in a brutal struggle for the future freedom of Earth. Can they prevent Khan from attaining his goal of total domination?
