There are several books in the container that shelters Khan's followers on Ceti Alpha V. Two of the titles are "Moby Dick" and "King Lear", and a lot of Khan's lines are directly taken from those books. In particular, the final monologue of Khan is identical to the last words of Captain Ahab from Melville's book. Other titles visible are "The Inferno" by Dante Alighieri, an anthology of "Paradise Lost" and Paradise Regained" by John A. Milton, a single copy of "Paradise Lost", the Holy Bible, and one where the title is partially obscured called "Statute Regulating... Commerce". "Paradise Lost" had been memorably quoted in Star Trek: Space Seed (1967).
