By: Greg Cox Volume #2 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. Earth, late 20th-century... With increasing alarm extraterrestrial secret agent Gary Seven has watched over the insidious intentions of the Chrysalis Project, the international consortium of the world's top scientists that has developed a new breed of genetically enhanced humans. And one of their most promising young creations, Khan Noonien Singh, is not willing to simply adjust the course of Earth's destiny here and there -- for Khan's most fervent desire is nothing short of complete world domination...
This is the second novel in this series. Roberta Lincoln and Gary Seven are back, although Gary Seven has a much smaller roll this time around. The story takes place during the turbulent 1990's and involves Khan trying to get his fellow supermen to join his cause and rule the world. But there's a problem: Khan wants to be the leader and so do some of the others. A large portion of the story involves Khan trying to get revenge on one particular superman named Hunyadi who almost kills Khan. It really doesn't advance the story much other than to show how obsessed Khan can be. Although not as good as volume 1 in the series, this novel is a fine continuation to the story.
