Tekwar II, the adventure continues

In the second novel of Shatner's "Tek" series, future sleuth Jake Cardigan is back and trying to rebuild a life with his new girlfriend Beth. The Tek lords have been busy though, and have created a new and deadly weapon,a synthetic plague, in order to blackmail world leaders into permitting Tek. Jake's search for the cause, and cure of the plague lead him through the usual deadly adventures to a climactic battle with an unexpected enemy in Japan.Much like the first "Tek" novel, this is a fast paced sci-fi/mystery that doesn't go overboard on the plot development. Which is A-ok, becuase it's not meant to be a deep or meaningful novel in any way, shape, or form. It's got a lot to enjoy though, with non-stop adventure, a budding romance, and an edge of mystery that will keep the pages turning. If you enjoyed 'Tekwar', than you won't be disappointed with 'Teklords'.

Fun to read sequel to Tekwar.

Shatner does it again. I enjoyed TEKWAR so much that I thought I see is Shatner and friends could do it 2 in a row. They (he?) did! I don't know if Shatner really wrote these or not. All I care is that the final product is excellent.Jake, Gomez and Beth investigate a virus that is related to Tek and Jake naturally suspects the Tek Lords. This is episode 2 of 9, that I know of. The first 5 have been read and they are fast paced, humorous and fun.Wow. The other reviews here are tough. As far as cardboard character comments are concerned, they may be for some. But I liked the movie TWISTER, and the critics said this was a bad movie because of its cardboard characters. Did you like Twister? then maybe cardboard does bother you when everything is good. Do you like fast paced mysteries set in a futuristic world? You may find this shocking but I also like Star Wars. A lot of critics don't think much of SW books either.Read tek war first. If you like it, try Tek Lords.

Teklords

Teklords, written by William Shattner, takes place in the year 2120 in San Francisco as private investigator Jake Cardigan tries to battle the international gang of drug dealers selling the highly addictive electronic drug tek. This novel was the sequel to Shattner's first book, Tekwar. The book gives an interesting insight on how drugs are a part of everyday life and how much we use some drugs. Shattner expresses the positive and negative effects of drugs in our society and explains the drugs of the future may be very dangerous. Jake Cardigan was called in to investigate the murder of a top drug-control agent by a reprogrammed human zombie assassin. Jake uncovers a connection with the release of an artificial virus that is threatening San Francisco and many victims including Jake's ex-wife. Jake and his partners, Sid Gomez and his girlfriend Beth, to track down the source of the virus and deal with the teklords. All the suspense and action in this novel lead up to a great ending. I recommend this book to anyone who likes science fiction and suspense filled novels.

A GOOD SEQUEL

Well Shatner has done another fast paced adventure with Jake Cardigan. Investigating the death of Agent Kurt Winterguild leads to the discovery of a lethal virus that is infecting 2120 San Fransisco. Jake must find a cure for the virus with the help of Sid Gomez, his partner, and his girlfriend Beth Kittridge before it claims the life of his ex-wife. While not as good as TEKWAR, this book is still an excellent book and great proof that Shatner isn't a one hit wonder when it comes to writing novels
