Book Reviews of Tek War
Book Review: It's better than the one by LaForge.
Summary: 5 Stars
Pretty good modern pulp by Billy Shat. Required reading for all entry-level Shatnerologists. For those less enlightened, if this doesn't convert you, nothing will.Book Review: Not Free SF Reader
Summary: 3 Stars
Tekwar was almost passable. A futuristic story based around a conflict between drug dealers of the substance Tek, and the detective/cop types that try and stop them. With very human androids, to boot.
A cop that had been framed for such a drug deal is reactivated out of his statis prison and given a mission to find a missing man.
Book Review: Not bad
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a decent sci fi story, and add a half star if you like william shatner.Book Review: Overall, a fun adventure story
Summary: 4 Stars
Many people have spurned the Tek series because of its simple style, but I highly suggest you try it. The basic synopsis is that Jake Cardigan has been cryogenically frozen for four years after being convicted of using the deadly VR drug Tek during his years as a cop. He is thawed out only to find that his wife has left him, his friends want nothing to do with him, and the only reason he still isn't in suspended animation is that he's wanted to solve a case centering around the Tek trade for an independent detective agency. Now, this is not meant to be a deep drama or high-tech cyberpunk romp; it's just an adventure story. And if you sit back and read it as one, I think you'll find it's quite a fun book. Ditto with the rest of the series. EnjoyBook Review: SHATNER AN AUTHOR--WHO KNEW?
Summary: 5 Stars
Tekwar is a great first novel. This book has everything, beautiful girls, killer androids, mind altering computer chips and lots of action. Jake Cardigan is a cop who has been framed for dealing Tek, a mind altering computer chip, and sentenced to the "freezer" for 15 years. Cosmos, a private investgative firm has need of his services and gets him released after only 4 years. Things change a lot for Jake in four years. Jake has to venture to Mexico to find Dr. Kittridge and his daughter Beth who have been kidnapped by Tek drug lords for the anti-tek device they have developed.
This book is fast paced and an excellent read.
