The
children of the Chrysalis Project have grown into a race of
super humans bent on ruling a world of lesser beings. But
the move can't be made quickly, this is a long campaign of
conspiracy and stealth based on skill rather than numbers...
Volume
2 of The Eugenics Wars spins a beguiling web of intrigue
that marries the world we know with a hidden narrative that
will finally spin itself out in the far future. And as we
find out more about Earth's violent past so too does Kirk
and the crew of the Enterprise, trapped on a colony of genetically
enhanced humans by bloodthirsty Klingons.
The
book's piecemeal construction steadily builds towards a climax
which effortlessly fuses its strands into a engrossing finale
with an inexorable and pulse-quickening power. The sheer vitality
of Cox's writing drags the reader along towards the book's
dark and inevitable conclusion.
This
second volume, although very good, does however exposes the
weakness of the extended narrative. Trimmed and tightened,
the two books could have been reduced to one mighty tome.
But despite its sometimes over-grandiose designs, the Eugenics
Wars is a first class read.
