Even centuries later, the final decades of the 20th 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.

1974 A.D.: An international consortium of the world's top scientists have conspired to create the Chrysalis Project, a top-secret experiment in human genetic engineering. The project's goal is the creation of a new super-race to take command of the entire planet.

Gary Seven, an undercover operative for an advanced alien species, is alarmed by the project's objectives; he knows too well the apocalyptic consequences of genetic manipulation. But he may already be too late. One generation of super-humans has already been conceived. Seven watches as the children of Chrysalis - in particular, a brilliant youth named Khan Noonien Singh - grow to adulthood. Can Khan's dark destiny be averted - or is Earth doomed to fight a global battle for supremacy?

The plot line of Gary 7should have been reintroduced when Star Trek made it back to pop culture.

Gary 7 should have made it to the big screen.

At parts, some of the music made it a little difficult to hear the narrator, but over all it was enjoyable.

Good stuuf

Ever wonder where Khan Noonien Singh and the other Augments came from? Ever wonder about the Eugenics Wars and how such a conflict might fit into our own history? Then look no further than this fantastic trilogy of novels, “The Eugenics Wars”. This first volume details the creation of the genetically modified supermen known as the Augments and the rise of Khan to become a world authority. It takes place in the background of real history and author Greg Cox manages to blend the Star Trek canon and the actual events of the past into not just a cohesive whole, but a gripping read that fills many of the gaps in the history of Star Trek’s single most iconic villain. Anthony Stewart Head (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Merlin”, “Doctor Who”, “Little Britain”) delivers a stellar performance that will fully immerse the listener into the world of the story and leave them fully engaged throughout.

The full story of KHAAAAAN!

I've always wanted more Gary Seven. This book and its sequel are excellent. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Story! Need more Gary Seven.

it's a decent Star Trek story but first of all it's far too short and secondly some of the sound engineering doesn't work well. sometimes it's difficult to hear the voices correctly. otherwise I'm looking forward to part two.

If this was available as an unabridged version (I have the book, and there's so much good stuff left out), I'd give this five stars instead of four.

Is there an unabridged version?

I really enjoyed it I have read the books. But I would really enjoy an unabridged audio book.

The story gave good background to Kahn. it showed his thought process and machinations well.

Good Story but Too Short
