 A non @-@ canon novelization by Greg Cox was later released in 2005 to fill in the timeframe between " Space Seed " and the film , titled To Reign in Hell : The Exile of Khan Noonien Singh . This book expanded on Khan 's romance with McGivers , and the author wanted to " give her a spine " as he felt that she was not " the pride of Starfleet , and even less of a feminist role @-@ model " in her appearance in " Space Seed " .
