Jake Cardigan hunts an assassin bent on killing civil servants in this sci-fi thriller by the iconic Star Trek actor and New York Times-bestselling author.   A French diplomat is walking alone down a darkened Paris side street, when a killer emerges from the shadows. He stuns the Frenchman, cuts his body into quarters, and leaves a note that reads: "This is for Brazil!" It is the ninth murder in this fashion in the last two months--a string of round-the-world killings that strikes fear into the hearts of all those connected with the bloody Brazilian wars of the past decade. But as private eye Jake Cardigan is about to discover, the culprit is far more treacherous than the average serial killer.   As he makes his way through Europe's seamy corners, Cardigan begins to suspect that the trail of death may lead back to his old nemeses, the drug kingpins known as Teklords. As international peace teeters in the balance, Cardigan must stop the murders or risk being drawn and quartered himself.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of William Shatner including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.  … (more)

More shenanigans by Shatner's sleuth Jake Cardigan and his sidekick Gomez who, unlike the previous two novels, pretty well gets co-star billing in this one. Like the first two in the series, it is uncanny how, everywhere they go, they know people. I swear, between the two of them they know the entire population of the world! It takes away a certain amount of realism from the story. Still, lots of action and drama in this book making it somewhat enjoyable. As I've lamented before, the science aspect of this science fiction is lame, but the dystopian aspect actually got better. ( )

This was much better than the movie version. Though someone should have explained the concept of constitutional monarchy to Shatner. ( )
