Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly In his first novel, actor Shatner delivers a hard-boiled private eye story set against a science fiction background. Ex-cop Jake Cardigan, framed for dealing "Tek," a popular 22nd-century drug, is released from controlled coma to search for a missing scientist. "While the writing is awkward in spots, the pace is unrelenting," commented PW. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal An ex-policeman caught in the schemes of drug lords, unscrupulous businessmen, and his one-time allies turns private detective to track down a missing scientist whose invention could win the war against the insidious computerized drug known as "Tek." Set in a futuristic, high-tech world of robots, androids, and designer drugs, this first novel by Shatner (better known as Star Trek 's Captain Kirk) should appeal to most fans of fast-paced sf action-adventure.
