Even centuries later, the final decades of the twentieth century are seen as one of humanity's darkest chapters. As an ancient and forbidden technology resurfaces, Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise must delve into the past to uncover the true origins of the Eugenics Wars and confront a formidable foe. In 1974, an international consortium of top scientists launches the Chrysalis Project, a secret experiment in human genetic engineering aimed at creating a super-race of enhanced individuals—smarter, faster, and stronger than ordinary humans. Gary Seven, an undercover operative for an advanced alien species, is alarmed by the project's ambitions and the catastrophic consequences of genetic manipulation. Alongside his trusted agents, Roberta Lincoln and the enigmatic Isis, he risks everything to expose the project's sinister intentions and mitigate the threat it poses to the future. However, he may already be too late, as one generation of super-humans has been conceived. As time passes, Seven grows increasingly concerned about the children of Chrysalis, particularly a brilliant youth named Khan Noonien Singh. Can Khan's ominous fate be changed, or is Earth destined for a global struggle for dominance?
