About This Item
New York, NY: Ace/Putnam, 1991. Shatner's second novel, like his first ( Tekwar ), is a competent detective thriller played before a standard Sci-Fi backdrop. Private eye Jake Cardigan narrowly escapes an assassination attempt. It seems someone is holding a grudge for Cardigan's part in destroying a major Tek cartel, and as he races to learn who has it in for him, Cardigan discovers an even darker plot: someone has released a deadly viral plague in San Franciso, which threatens his son and ex-wife. Bodies drop on all sides as the plot hurtles toward....Shatner's Greater Los Angeles of 2120 is a pale reflection of the blighted cityscape of Bladerunner , and though this novel makes use of a number of popular science fiction concepts (cyborgs, androids, manmade viruses, etc.), the various social issues raised by these elements receive only cursory examination. Lots of fast action here. 223 pages. Top & bottom of spine slightly bumped. Authors name shows through the jacket onto the front cover of the book. The jacket is not faded though.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
