KHAN'S LAST STAND!

Summary

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...
