Dissent or revelation, however, are dealt with severely, often fatally. She finds a breakthrough genetics program, one that many sincere scientists and geneticists have come to work on. When Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln learn about the project, Roberta goes undercover as a scientist and is sent to the project's underground complex beneath the Thar Desert in India. The scientists of Chrysalis intend for their creations to take over the Earth by merit of the superior genetics, while the project's lead scientist (and Khan's mother) Saurina Kahr harbors an even more secret plan to release a flesh eating biological weapon upon the 'inferior' normal human race, to make way for her superior offspring. While supposedly mentally and physically superior to ordinary men and women, the genetically engineered children often show signs of grandiose egos and profound psychological imbalances. Already demonstrating remarkable charisma and leadership even among the children, he is one of (possibly the greatest of) the genetically engineered "Children of Chrysalis". When the story begins, Khan is about four years old, and is called "Noon".
They possess superior lungs, circulatory systems, reflexes and enhanced senses. The progeny of Chrysalis are smarter, stronger, faster and more resilient than any humans born naturally would or could ever hope to be. The first volume deals mostly with the extraterrestrial agent Gary Seven and his partner Roberta Lincoln's effort to infiltrate and eventually shut down the 'Chrysalis Project' a secret yet pioneering eugenics program responsible for Khan Noonien Singh and a generation of genetically engineered superior humans. Greg Cox explains that the passing of the 1990s in reality required a reinterpretation of the Eugenics Wars that were originally said to take place in the same decade.
These books are mentioned in the Director's Edition DVD of The Wrath of Khan, in an interview contained as one of the extras. Both characters appear in the Star Trek episode " Assignment: Earth". They are written mostly in the perspective of the fictional characters Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln, Gary Seven's partner. The novels detail Khan's life until he leaves the Earth in the DY-100 sleeper ship SS Botany Bay later found by the Enterprise. He is often referred to as simply "Khan" in the Star Trek episode " Space Seed" and in the Star Trek film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
The Eugenics Wars: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh is a two volume set of novels written by Greg Cox about the life of the fictional Star Trek character Khan Noonien Singh.
