The Eugenics Wars (Volume II) focuses on Khan’s dream to unify the earth under his rule with the assistance of his genetically enhanced brethren. However, Khan’s vision quickly dissipates and turns for the worst. This forces his hand to accept a deal from his nemesis Gary Seven—a deal which eventually lead Khan and his crew of 54 men and 31 women onboard the DY-100 class sleeper ship known as the Botany Bay. The beauty of the Eugenics Wars books is its emphasis on the concept of “continuity” or what Cox refers too as “inter-author cooperation and consistency.” Using past references from other Star Trek episodes and novels, Cox is able to bridge and parlay several plots from the predominantly one-shot Star Trek: The Original Series episodes into the Eugenics Wars books. Cox fully utilizes the characters in the Star Trek Universe by exploring the characters of Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln (Episode: Assignment: Earth) and breathing life into others such as Shaun Christopher (References are made about him in Episode: Tomorrow is Yesterday), Jackson Roykirk (Episode: The Changeling), and Dr. Walter Nichols (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). Lastly, the Eugenics Wars (Volume II) is also filled with a number of historical references from the 1990’s ranging from the London to Paris “Chunnel” commercial train service, to natural calamities (the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines), and even tabloid scandals such as the Olympic ice skating incident involving Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan and the infamous John and Lorena Bobbit err…domestic violence issue. Star Trek: The Eugenics Wars – The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh (Volume 2) is a great read that will keep you wanting for more from start till finish.

The story in this book is much better than the first in the series because it focuses on Khan and, frankly, because there is much less mention of alien shape-shifting talking cats.
I bought the book because my father and I are Trekies. It was an early Christmas present for him. He's reading now, but he's definetely happy I got it for him.
