Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - 1982

"For ten years, Khan Noonan Singh has thirsted for revenge... Stranded on the almost uninhabitable, wild planet Alpha Ceti VI by Captain James Kirk of the Starship Enterprise after the genetically "perfected" Khan and his followers had failed in their attempt to take over the starship, Khan watched as many of his followers—including his beloved wife—suffered and died in the harsh environment. And now he is furnished with his opportunity. Captain Clark Terrell and Commander Pavel Chekov of the Starship Reliant have stumbled onto his planet in search of a world empty enough to furnish a test site for the Federation's new Genesis Project. Based on the Regulus 1 space laboratory and headed by Dr. Carol Marcus—once the great love of Jim Kirk's life—the Genesis Project is an astounding process whereby the molecular structure of any given matter... a planet... can be created anew. In the wrong hands, though, the same forces can destroy entire star systems. With the Reliant and Regulus 1 under Khan's control, the Genesis torpedo will soon be in his... and with it, the certain doom of his enemy James J. Kirk..." - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - Vonda N. McIntyre Published 1982, Pocket Books/Simon & Schuster, New York Hardcover. Approx. 5.5x8.5in. 186pp. Dustjacket has some tears along edges.
