Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Which is annoying, since that reminds me that I lost my copy a couple years back.

It has been reprinted. Which you might know, but just in case you didn't. I read it in university, loved it to pieces, but couldn't find a copy for my own until fairly recently.

Someone make me frame my requests of release management, will you?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This whole conversation has made me want to reread To Reign In Hell.

Do you mean "To Reign in Hell: The Exile of Khan Noonien Singh"?

OK, I know you don't mean that one....

At last -- the untold chapter in the history of Star Trek's most notorious villain, KHAN. Searing and powerful, To Reign in Hell masterfully bridges the time period between Khan Noonien Singh's twenty-third-century revival in the Original Series classic episode "Space Seed" and his unforgettable return in the acclaimed feature film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Haunted by the memory of Khan's murderous campaign of vengeance, James T. Kirk now revisits the forbidding world of Ceti Alpha V to discover for himself what ultimately drove Khan to madness. There, buried beneath the desolate surface of a dying planet, Kirk and his allies find the untold story of their greatest foe -- and of the woman who loved him: Lieutenant Marla McGivers of Starfleet.

Along with Khan's genetically engineered followers from the twentieth century, Khan and Marla are left on Ceti Alpha V with the hopes of building a new life together. Although the planet is savage and untamed, Khan dreams of carving out an empire even greater than the one he once ruled on Earth. But when global catastrophe strikes, Khan must use every ounce of his superhuman strength and intellect to wage a fearsome battle against the planet, his people...and the growing darkness in his own soul.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, thanks, tommyrot! I bought that a couple of weeks ago and forgot I had it.

Unread paperback, woo-hoo!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Now that I've moved, I have to register to vote up here before the end of September. Only problem with that is they use voter registration rolls for jury members, so I'm sure I'll be getting my jury duty notice sometime this winter.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Any Chicagoistas need very little money and a good workout?? [link]

If those had handles, I know a bunch of kravvers who'd love to go over and help him out for that little money. But the refreshments had better be alcoholic.

That whole thing almost sounds like a joke....

You know, that's about 12.3 tons. I doubt the average appartment could take that much weight (unless he distributed them evenly thoughout, but....)
