Summary 
From the book jacket
"A strange, violent period in your history." – SpockMany unanswered questions remain about the terrible Eugenics Wars that raged on Earth during the 1990s, an apocalyptic conflict that brought civilization to the brink of a new dark age. Centuries later, as Capt. James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise are forced to defend a colony of genetically enhanced humans against Klingon aggression and sabotage, Kirk must probe deeper into the past – and into the glory days of one of the greatest adversaries he has ever faced.

1992. Almost twenty years ago, Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln, undercover operatives for an unknown alien civilization, failed to prevent the Chrysalis Project from creating an entire generation of supermen and women, genetically engineered to be stronger, smarter, and more resourceful than ordinary human beings. Now, at last, the children of Chrysalis have grown to adulthood, and are rapidly demonstrating that superior abilities spawn superior ambition.

Perhaps the most formidable of this new breed of supermen is the charismatic Khan Noonien Singh. Working behind the scenes of history as head of a vast global conspiracy, Khan's power soon stretches across a quarter of the planet, but that is only the beginning of his grand design. Determined to unite humanity beneath the enlightened rule of a genetic elite, Khan dreams of leading his fellow superhumans to complete and total domination of the world.But several of his gene-engineered brothers and sisters have equally grandiose visions for the future, visions that recognize no one but themselves as supreme ruler. Gary Seven and Roberta watch in horror as the children of Chrysalis wage a covert war against one another, threatening the safety of millions and the future of the entire world!The Eugenics Wars: Volume Two is an earth-shattering thriller that reveals the secret history of the twentieth century – and the ultimate destiny of the tyrant known as Khan.

 Memorable quotes 
"Tis not too late to seek a new world… to strive, to seek, to find… and not to yield."
 - Khan Noonien Singh, his last thoughts as he goes into stasis aboard the SS Botany Bay Background information 
 In determining how to tackle the question of the nature of the Eugenics Wars, and, particularly, how to reconcile it with real-world history, author Greg Cox knew that there were two options: "[i]gnore history as we know it, and describe an all-out, apocalyptic conflict […] or […] depict the EW as this huge global conspiracy, the true nature of which did not become known to the general public until generations later." With both Cox and Pocket editor John Ordover agreeing that the second was the better option, Cox noted that this also helped explain the depiction of Los Angeles in , and worked to his strengths: "There are authors out there who could write a great -esque, all-out global war novel, but I'm not sure I'm one of them. The whole secret war idea appealed to me more.''. ()
 The audiobook version was abridged by George Truett.
