I thought I had read this book previously; I think I was wrong. It was okay. It moves at a mildly reasonable pace. The character development [such as it is] is so-so. Nothing in the novel really makes it stand out and say "read me again!" The plot was okay; it is "funny" (view spoiler)

From what I understand, William Shatner outlines the stories for the Tek novels, but then a ghost writer actually writes everything. Well, if that's the case, Shatner needs a better ghost writer!
I keep reading these because the core ideas are good, and I keep hoping to see them realized. I like the concept of a detective story in a science fiction setting. The problem that I keep coming up against, though, is the poor quality of the writing itself. The exposition is clunky, the world-building i ...more

Its always fun for me to go back and reread books I haven't read in ages and this one was no exception. The third book in Shatner's Tek series has us globe trotting to futuristic versions of Paris and London on the trail of a serial killer that has an agenda only he knows. Shatner begins to tie up some plot threads in this book, with the death of a major "villain" and the incarceration of another. Progress is made on relationships of our main character, Jake Cardigan, seeing him get closer to hi

So...
This series reminds me of old B movies - low production quality and cheesy dialogue. Easy read but I was confused on whether Jake had physical relations with Marj. It wasn't made the most clear and if he did, then there was no foreshadowing or consequences given he is supposed to be with Beth.

I received this book in a contest at a Star Trek convention many years ago. It was a door prize and I felt so lucky to get an autographed copy. After finally reading it I fell the William Shatner autograph is worth far more than the book. It is a guilty pleasure read and okay to pass the time but the writing is clunky and predictable. Not terrible just expected more from the author
The third book in the Tek series...
I absolutely love these books! I first read them in high school in the '90's and loved them then too!
They are a bit campy and over the top...but so much fun :c)

I would be very interested in reading this book. I love the tech part of Star Trek and have heard this is a good read.

William Shatner does it again! WOOO! I loved this book, it was another amazing addition to the TEK series! Fast paced and original! WOOOO! :D
You know, these books are more of a guilty pleasure read. I like reading them (as a whole), but I will never admit it to my friends.
The writing style is too simple and the story filled with clichés. I read it quickly but won't remember a thing about it.
I liked all of Shatner's Tek books. He's a very competent writer, turning out fun Detective/Sci Fi books. Who woulda thunk it?
This was much better than the movie version. Though someone should have explained the concept of constitutional monarchy to Shatner.
Honestly, a whole lot better than I expected.
This is the third book in the Tekwar series by William Shatner. This book has started to delve more into the main character, Jake's, past and his relationship with his son. It goes into more depth than the previous book. There is also good chemistry between him and his partner when they are solving cases. Overall this is an enjoyable book with good characters and a fast-paced action oriented plot.
Good adventure with remarkable foresight into technology-to-be.
Ghost written by Ron Goulart
Read in the early 1990's - don't remember much about them.
