Books don't have to be dark, gorey, excessively violent, or explicit to appeal to adults.HBO trek is not trek.
Bashir could be on his way to being a 24th century Khan Noonien Singh which would be VERY interesting.
I don't ever see them going anywhere near that far with Julian. Sure his character is taking a darker turn, but there's a big difference between Jack Bauer and Darth Vader, and I don't see him going fully to the Dark Side anytime soon.Yes, the books have, in large part, moved in a more mature direction. The darkening of Bashir & Sisko are both excellent. Hopefully they will be permitted to contunue their journies without a sudden u-turn. Bashir could be on his way to being a 24th century Khan Noonien Singh which would be VERY interesting. He knows what he's doing and he belives himself to be in the right.

I think that would be very boring. We've already seen the cliche of "genetic superiority = evil" played out in countless stories. It's kind of an archaism in this age of transhumanist science fiction (and looming transhumanist reality). Let's see Bashir continue to be a counterargument to the Federation's Luddite fears of genetic enhancement -- to be the antithesis of Khan just as Data and the EMH were the antitheses of Korby and Landru and M5 and the other evil AIs of TOS.
