Product Description:
At last -- the untold chapter in the history of Star Trek's most notorious villain, KHAN. Searing and powerful, To Reign in Hell masterfully bridges the time period between Khan Noonien Singh's twenty-third-century revival in the Original Series classic episode "Space Seed" and his unforgettable return in the acclaimed feature film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Haunted by the memory of Khan's murderous campaign of vengeance, James T. Kirk now revisits the forbidding world of Ceti Alpha V to discover for himself what ultimately drove Khan to madness. There, buried beneath the desolate surface of a dying planet, Kirk and his allies find the untold story of their greatest foe -- and of the woman who loved him: Lieutenant Marla McGivers of Starfleet.
Along with Khan's genetically engineered followers from the twentieth century, Khan and Marla are left on Ceti Alpha V with the hopes of building a new life together. Although the planet is savage and untamed, Khan dreams of carving out an empire even greater than the one he once ruled on Earth. But when global catastrophe strikes, Khan must use every ounce of his superhuman strength and intellect to wage a fearsome battle against the planet, his people...and the growing darkness in his own soul.

This book fills in the story of what happened to Khan between Space Seed and The Wrath of Khan. The author created a plausible story of how Khan's band of enhanced humans were able to survive on a planet laid waste by a shifted orbit.

This third book filling in the missing years of the life of Khan Noonien Singh is by far the best of the three, in spite of the fact that the first two were themselves pretty good. It is a telling of the events between the original series "Space Seed" episode and the "Wrath of Khan" movie, and in addition to filling in a lot of blanks, it does a fair to middling job of rationalizing some slight plot-holes in the movie. Not perfect, mind you; in spite of Cox's extremely good best efforts, I still ... Read More

This takes the story of Khan up to just before Space Seed from the original Star Trek.
Rating: -
A nicely done finale, but I felt that while the plot was good, it had a few weak points.
The dialogue. Usually not bad, but... "No! Not that! Anything but that!" Twice. Once was too many. Granted, it didn't start with "I was a dark and stormy night..." but still....
The bits with Kirk & co were mainly there to explain away most of the larger plot questions.
Even wild stretches of science couldn't provide a plausible explanation for how Khan's movie crew ended ... Read More

This is a great adventure chronicling the events of Khan's exile on Ceti Alpha V. The writing is superb and imaginative. For those who want to know what really happened in the years after Kirk's first encounter with Khan, this story by Greg Cox fills in all the gaps. From the establishment of the first settlement on the planet, to the destruction of Ceti Alpha VI that led to the demise of Ceti Alpha V, to the discovery of the nature of the dreaded "Ceti eels," to the death of Khan's ex-starfleet ...
