KHAN'S LAST STAND!
Summary
Edit
- From the book jacket
- "Lightning can indeed strike twice in the same place, as THE EUGENICS WARS: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume Two proves to be every bit as exciting, entertaining, and humorous as the first volume of this saga. The second portion of this engrossing story takes the reader from the beginnings of Khan's consolidation of his power, through the events that lead to his flight from Earth on the DY-100-class sleeper ship SS Botany Bay. From beginning to end, this novel is eminently satisfying..." – Jacqueline Bundy, The Trekker Newsletter
- "An ingenious blend of actual history and Trek mythology... Volume Two is an audacious, fast-moving conclusion to the Eugenics Wars duology, one-upping the considerable dramatic intensity and inventive accomplishment of the first volume, and bringing the story to a remarkably smooth, coherent conclusion... Cox's electric, fun-loving style of storytelling is the perfect medium to take the reader into the twenty-first century and beyond." – Kilian Melloy, wigglefish.com
- "Just as much fun as its predecessor, weaving Trek history in and out of recent headlines, mostly through the point of view of one of history's more entertaining secret agents, Teri Garr look-alike Roberta Lincoln... Cox's obvious affection for Trek comes through as strongly as his knowledge." – Michelle Erica Green, Trek Nation
