American author and editor whose many licensed Star Trek novels include the Q Continuum trilogy and the Eugenics Wars books chronicling the rise and fall of Khan Noonien Singh.
Greg Cox began writing Star Trek fiction in the 1990s with the Deep Space Nine novel Devil in the Sky, co-written with John Gregory Betancourt, and the Voyager novel The Black Shore.
His Q Continuum trilogy of 1998 explored the history of Q, while Assignment: Eternity brought back Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln from the episode Assignment: Earth. Those two characters also anchor his two-volume The Eugenics Wars, which threads Khan's rise through real late twentieth-century history. To Reign in Hell covers Khan's exile on Ceti Alpha V between Space Seed and The Wrath of Khan.
Later Original Series novels include The Rings of Time, The Weight of Worlds, No Time Like the Past, Foul Deeds Will Rise and Captain to Captain.
