Book 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.
