In order to expose a sinister, far-reaching criminal conspiracy, detective Jake Cardigan , the twenty-second century's most able private detective, must prove that an open-and-shut murder case is anything but Once again the inimitable William Shatner, Star Trek's original Captain Kirk and a true star of science fiction adventure, brings the future vibrantly alive in the eighth nonstop, action-packed futuristic caper featuring private investigator Jake Cardigan, sworn enemy of the all-powerful TekLords. Walt Bascom, head of the Cosmos Detective Agency, is in serious trouble. Video surveillance in the home of superrich businessman Dwight Grossman clearly shows Bascom murdering the entrepreneur in cold blood. Bascom swears he didn't do it, and he's relying on his agency's best investigator, Jake Cardigan, to prove it somehow. Jake and his partner, Sid Gomez, have their work cut out for them. The only "evidence" on their side is the testimony of the dead man's sister, Susan, who claims she's had telepathic visions of her brother's true death. But Susan is an admitted devotee of the powerful, reality-altering electronic drug Tek. Whoever wanted her brother dead--and Bascom accused--went to great lengths to set up the scheme, and those responsible are not going to sit idly by while a pair of snooping private eyes and a burned-out Tek fiend start digging for answers. To keep the killers' dark and very dirty secrets hidden, one corpse may not be enough. This ebook features an illustrated biography of William Shatner including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.

It is a fast-paced adventure tale that takes place in 2122 and reintroduces the indomitable PI of the Cosmos Detective Agency, Jake Cardigan. Handsome in a rugged way, Jake has a checkered past that continues to haunt him, and ex-wife you never see and a strapping young man of 16 with which he has a conflicting relationship.
The tale opens with a frightening vision of the murder of her father, seen through the mind of a former Tek junkie. The police see her vision as just the mental ramblings of a disturbed woman in the throes of withdrawal because they already know who the murderer was, Walt Bascomb, the head of the Cosmos Detective Agency.
In a world as high tech as only a science fiction writer can envision, Jake ferrets out the truth behind the murder and discovers a monstrous secret hatched by a man wealthy and powerful beyond dreams. And Jake, along with his partner of 5 years, Sal Gomez, Jake’s son and a unique supporting cast, unravels the truth and brings this well-written tale to a climatic conclusion.
This is not a high-minded story, but a fun, fast-paced novel.
For readers who like Clive Cussler, but require more science fiction, this is a book for you. If you’re looking for angst and desperate people with desperate lives in which much of the read digs deep into their sordid and disheveled motivations, move along. There is nothing more to see. (
