Publisher Description

Even centuries later, the final decades of the twentieth century are still regarded as one of the darkest and most perilous chapters in the history of humanity Now, as an ancient and forbidden technology tempts mankind once more, Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise™ must probe deep into the secrets of the past, to discover the true origins of the dreaded Eugenics Wars -- and of perhaps the greatest foe he has ever faced.

1974 A.D. An international consortium of the world's top scientists have conspired to create the Chrysalis Project, a top-secret experiment in human genetic engineering. The project's goal is the creation of a new super-race to take command of the entire planet.

Gary Seven, an undercover operative for an advanced alien species, is alarmed by the project's objectives; he knows too well the apocalyptic consequences of genetic manipulation. But he may already be too late. One generation of super-humans has already been conceived. Seven watches as the children of Chrysalis-in particular, a brilliant youth named Khan Noonien Singh -- grow to adulthood. Can Khan's dark destiny be averted -- or is Earth doomed to fight Singh a global battle for supremacy?

The Eugenics Wars: Volume One is a fast-paced thriller that explores the rise of the conqueror known as Khan.

"I had this on the shelf for a while and just got around to reading it. I enjoyed it. It had a LOT of references to the original Star Trek and helped explain the Eugenics Wars which have often appeared in the different series. I'm anxious to read volume two."

    " Nice weaving of the original Star Trek mythos of Khan and Gary 7 with real historical events. I think it worked well as an abridgment and enjoyed the "authentic" Star Trek sound effects "

    " Total guilty pleasure...sadly, merely an adequately written novel. A plot 1000 miles wide and 1 inch deep. I think that a Fathead wall decal of Mr. Spock might have more depth of character than those in his writing...I can't believe I'm reading the 2nd novel now. "

    " A good Star Trek story revealing the first part of Khan Noonien Singh's history. Greg Cox used familiar characters and a solid knowledge of history to twist a wonderful tale about one of the best known characters from the Star Trek universe. "

    " 3.5 stars - I read this one long ago and only remember that it was a bit slow-going in spots, but thought it was cool that the author worked the Union Carbide disaster into the plot. Will have to re-read this one again before I finish up the trilogy. "

    " So far, it's not feeling like a Star Trek book. It's good, but the majority of the action so far takes place in 1974. Also, there are a ton of movie and TV show references (Stepford Wives, The Cat From Outer Space, etc) which are interesting. "

    " This is a good book. Star Trek always alluded to the eugenics wars as happening before the formation of the federation. This book is a well put together scenario of present day thru the eugenics war into the federation. Very plausible. "

    " This novel is interesting but poorly written. Also loaded with [seven-letter vulgar word starting with f, that denotes a pompous fan showing off his/her knowledge of series continuity] and sprinkled with the author's political beliefs. Not recommended. "

    " This is an excellent series that sets up a wonderful backstory surrounding Khan's rise to power. It's very cool that Cox melds many characters from actual history with Trek luminaries. Way cool! "

    " It's a fun house, it really is! Star Trek and "World History" from 1974 to 1989 woven together in a very interesting and enjoyable way. And I think Cox even manages to put Khan on Fantasy Island in a convincing way in part 2... "

    " I enjoyed this one. It really expands the background of Khan fully. Or at least it starts to. There wasn't much Star Trek in this book. It's set starting in 1974 when Khan is 4 years old and ends just as he enters his adulthood with his ambition toward world dominance begins. "
