This first book chronicles the beginnings of Khan Noonien Singh. We first meet him as a precocious 4 year old living in the Chrysalis project compund under the Indian Desert, and follow him to the age of 16.
Cox's well written book has many of my favorite elements in a Star Trek book-it tells us what happens to characters both before ( Khan) and after ( Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln) we meet them in the series. It reads as something of a history lesson for Khan's early life ( which also happens to be my lifetime), placing the forces that shape the fictional superman into a real historical context. And it still manages to keep it's sense of humor.
