À propos de cet audio

 Even centuries later, the final decades of the twentieth 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 Singh a global battle for supremacy?

The Eugenics Wars: Volume One is a fast-paced thriller that explores the rise of the conqueror known as Khan.© and (P)2001 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster, Inc.

..but Very, Very Good. This is predominantly a SciFi-informed espionage story. Think 'James Bond meets Dr. Who'. The connection to the Star Trek universe is tenuous at best. The central plot revolves around Gary Seven (from the 'Assignment: Earth' episode) and targets the Chrysalis project (which spawned Khan Noonien Singh), but otherwise has very little import for Gene Roddenberry's vision. Greg Cox took those elements as inspiration to craft a surprisingly entertaining story. The writing is a little cheezy and the plot is a little sophomoric, but this is a cleverly-crafted tale about secretive misanthropic eugenicists.
[NB: The 3rd Chapter of the book includes the first part of an analagous Eugenics program being pursued by Klingon and Federation interests in "Real Time", but it feels peripheral]

Anthony Stewart Head is a very good reader who truly brings the characters to life. His accents sound authentic and he exhibits great cadence and pacing. His female character voices are fairly weak, but I would listen to his work again.

If you are looking for a legitimate 'Star Trek' story, look elsewhere. But if you are happy with an honestly fun (if a bit pulpy) spy story, this 7.5/10 effort is worth the Credit - I actually wish it wasn't Abridged.
