TekLords is the second book in William Shatners Tek Series, this time the Private Eye Jake Cardigan gets drawn into another evil plot involving the drug barons of the future, that sees his ex-wife and his son in Danger from a deadly man-made virus.
Once again William Shatner draws you into the futuristic world he's created with the believable character of Jake Cardigan, the fast past action and a plot that thickens quicker than your mother in-laws' soup!
I may have read TekWar because William Shatner was the Author, but this book stands up for itself and i've already bought 1/2 of the series!! A must read for any Sci-Fi/Private Eye/Thriller fan!!

Retread of "Tekwar", worth reading but not by much
26 Jan 2005
Format:Hardcover
This book, the sequel to "Tekwar", was a disappointment. Some of the plot devices that I found unique and interesting in "Tekwar" were repeated and were very dull the second time around. Furthermore, the ending was much too low-key for a book of this type. Jake Cardigan and his partner Sid Gomez spend over 200 pages chasing the principals of a major criminal syndicate and it all ends with some simplistic and obvious events.
There was also no further development of the characters; each behaves exactly as they did in the previous book. I don't know whether it was due to it being the second time around or if the dialog in this book was weaker than the first, but it seemed wooden and predictable. At times, comments appeared to have been meant to be a joke, I don't know whether that was the case or the statements were just poorly constructed.
Nevertheless, I did read it through and was at times interested in what was going on. Therefore, despite the many weaknesses, I still give it three stars. It is worth reading, although I would never put out the money to buy it.

Oh, Please...
20 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
I was given this book as a present by someone who knows I like to read, knows I like scifi, knows I like Star Trek, but doesn't know much about books. Simply put, this is a real dog. The plot is simplistic, the characters are one dimensional, and the dialogue is wooden. The whole thing comes across as clumsy. William Shatner should stick to films and avoid future attempts at singing, writing, and making bad commercials for Priceline.

Fun to read sequel to Tekwar.
30 Jun 2003
Format:Hardcover
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.
