Summary: Genetics something to worry about
Comment: When I bought this book I expected the book to be all about Khan and that's it. As many reviewers here have mentioned it more than that. It's about the dangers of genetics and cloning that we are about to do ourselves. Cox doesn't beat you over the head on the dangers, but he gives some graphic scenes what will happen. The story is really interesting especially the way Cox connects historical events with Star trek events. He is definately going to have his work cut out in the 2nd book. That will deal exclusively with the 1990's. I also like how Cox shows us where Khan grows up and why he has so much anger and desire to rule the world. I also enjoyed how he has portrayed gary 7 and Ms. Lincoln as sorta of like The Avengers. The B story is our guys Kirk and Company from the 1st 5 years mission heading to a planet made up of these "supermen". The Klingons want their technology and the Federation doesn't want this non-memeber world to fall in the wrong hands. The main story is being read by Kirk as historical documents. That story also has an interesting cliff hanger. The B story is only 3 chapters I believe the rest is Khan. My only problem with the book that it tends to excessively mention things of that period. Cultural things. I guess since I am a history teacher I am well aware of the things he mention!! But that is a minor thing. I think the 2nd book will be even better.

Summary: Gary Seven is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: I was thrilled to see a new book about Kahn, about time. But I was overjoyed to see that Gary Seven had also returned. The link between these two great Trek characters is exciting and well conceived. The two storylines take place on the Original Enterprise and in the 1970's (The last time we saw Gary Seven was on episode Assignment Earth). Mr. Seven's assignment is to make sure the earth of this time period does not destroy itself. Mr. Seven does this with the help of Ms. Lincoln and the alien cat Isis. Mr. Seven investigates the start of the Eugenics War and the beginnings of Khan Noonien Singh. Kirk and Spock are assigned to a human colony that has been developing genetic improvements. This is forbidden under Federation law. The colony, confronted with the unwanted advances of the Klingon Empire, now seeks acceptance in the Federation. I can't wait to learn more about the mysterious Mr. Seven and his shape changing cat. This is one of the best Star Trek stories I have read to date.

Summary: um... no.
Comment: These Khan books are just plain bad. Full of cute trekkie references, they are for die-hard trekkies only. And I'm a huge Khan fan, so I was pretty let down. Really, this is not how I imagined the Eugenics wars at all. Did I mention the writing is atrocious? Some of the worst I've come across. Maybe that's because these were the first Trek novels I've read, so I didn't know to lower my expectations...
Do yourself a favor and skip this junk. Get some real sci-fi instead!
