He potrays Khan and his fellow superman as being unknown to the general populace of the world and reduces Khan to being an underworld leader who rules the various countries in his 'Empire' from the shadows which contradicts the Star Trek TOS episode Space Seed that states that he reigned as absolute dictator over one quarter of the world's population. Both of Cox's Eugenics Wars novels focus way too much on the roles of Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln rather than focusing on the genetically engineered supermen. The first volume doesn't even take place during the Eugenics War but describes the events leading up to it. And the second volume only mentions a few covert operations that the supermen waged against each other and these event were again unbeknownst to the public. During the second volume no 'war' actually takes place, only clandestine operations. These books are poorly written, silly, and are an attempt to make Star Trek 'history' fit into actual history. Greg Cox seems to forget that Star Trek is an Alternate History of our world.... |

Compare the books to the original story and you will see how he has butchered Star Trek through his poorly written novels. I don't understand why any Star Trek fan would include such childish novels in the Star Trek 'Canon.' Oh and by the way these novels are not 'Official' Star Trek Canon. Greg, thanks for travelling back in time with Gary Seven and erasing the Eugenics War and ruining Khan's reputation in the process. |

The Entropy Effect, the first original novel published by Pocket Books.
A novel is a literary work of over 40,000 words, as defined by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Hundreds of Star Trek novels have been published under license from the owners of the Star Trek franchise. Since 1980, Simon & Schuster has had the license from Paramount to publish Star Trek material, the bulk of which has been under their Pocket Books imprint. Previous licensees have included Ballantine Books, mostly under their Bantam Books imprint. The older Ballantine material is still occasionally reprinted under their Del Rey Books imprint, but the current Simon & Schuster license precludes Ballantine from publishing any new material. The first Star Trek novel was a young adult reader book titled Mission to Horatius, published by Whitman Publishing in 1968, their only contribution to Star Trek prose publishing.
