À propos de cet audio

 Many 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 Robeta Lincoln, undercover operatives for an unknown alien civilization, failed to prevent the Chrysalis Project from creating an entire generation of supermen and women. Now, the children of Chrysallis are adults and rapidly demonstrating that superior abilities spawn superior ambition.
Perhaps the most formidable of this new breed of supermen is the charismatic Khan Noonien Singh. Head of a vast global conspiracy, Khan's power stretches across a quarter of the planet. Khan dreams of leading his fellow superhumans to complete and total domination of the world. But serveral of his gene-engineered brothers and sisters have equally grandiose visions for the future, visions that recognize no one but themeselves 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!© and (P)2002 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster, Inc.

..because this semi-dramatized one is Great. In this second of two Greg Cox offerings, the author focusses on the progression of Khan Noonien Singh from Genetic Superman to attempted Megalomaniacal Tyrant to Renegade Pariah fleeing Earth in a stolen 'Botany Bay'.. giving me exactly what I was looking for when I bought it. This is a clever (if a little cheesy at times) back-story for the foil introduced in the 'Space Seed' episode of the Original Star Trek series. The book has well-contrived action, believable dialogue, and character development that is genuinely illuminating. Simon & Schuster Audio adds judicious sound effects and background music to quality writing.. generating a vivid entertainment experience - as though listeners are consuming an episode of a more than decent SciFi/Espionage program.

Rene Auberjonois (Security Chief Odo on DS-9) does a decent - if unremarkable - job reading the book. He reads clearly with great tone and pacing.. but his voice-acting is uninspired - Captain Kirk sounds virtually the same as Spock, for example. I would rate the performance as "average" overall.

I can definitely recommend this 8.5/10 effort exploring the background of Star Trek's best villain. I actually sent it as a gift to my brother.

[It must be noted that reading the first book helps, but it's not essential to understand this installment (although the "Real-time" story arc involving the Enterprise crew continues a cliffhanger from the first one). You probably should buy Part I too, but you don't have to in order to enjoy this book]
