Product Review
"Space Seed" introduced Khan Noonien Singh (a viperlike Ricardo Montalban) to Trek lore. The trouble begins when Kirk and crew discover a derelict ship and its crew of 70 supermen aboard, all in suspended animation. Led by Khan, these strange people turn out to be the product of genetic experimentation in the 1990s and instigators of a so-called Eugenics War, i.e., the Third World War on Earth often mentioned on various Trek programs. Though displaced from his more violent time and place, Khan quickly overcomes his disorientation and shifts into conqueror mode, rapidly overtaking the Enterprise with the aid of a comely Federation historian who is swooning at his feet. As any Trek fan knows, "Space Seed" inspired Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, regarded by many as the best of the Trek feature films. --Tom Keogh

Back Cover Copy
Captain Kirk matches wits with a race of supermen led by the tyrant Khan.

TREK TRIVIA
Ricardo Montalban reprised the role of Khan in the only Star Trek film based on an episode, Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan.
The model of the Botany Bay vessel was later seen as a target in "The Ultimate Computer" and was featured in the 25th anniversary Star Trek display at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum.
