      Private investigator Jake Cardigan and his partner, Sid Gomez, must race to save a woman trapped in the deadly crossfire of a violent war between rival TekLords William "Captain Kirk" Shatner of Star Trek fame returns with his ninth action-packed TekWar adventure, certain to thrill his devoted legions of science fiction readers. In the year 2122 an addictive new form of the fantasy-enabling electronic drug Tek is about to hit the market. This version, delivered to users over computer networks, would eliminate the need for Tek chips, thereby putting the old-school TekLords out of business. Jill Bernardino, the ex-wife of Sid Gomez, loyal partner of private eye Jake Cardigan, has been looking into this new development closely--a little too closely--and now finds herself in serious, possibly inescapable peril. Caught in the middle of a vicious international drug war, Jill is taken prisoner, and only Cardigan and Gomez can rescue her. But their efforts will put them directly in the crosshairs of warring squads of Tek-trade killers in a bloody cartel war.

      „Der Weltraum, unendliche Weiten. Wir schreiben das Jahr 2200. Dies sind die Abenteuer des Raumschiffs Enterprise …“ Diese ikonischen Worte leiten die bekannteste Science-Fiction-Serie der Welt ein. William Shatner, bekannt als Captain James T. Kirk, spielte eine zentrale Rolle. Von einem hasserfüllten Rassisten in einem B-Movie entwickelte er sich zu einem Symbol für Fortschritt, als er in einer Episode seiner Serie eine schwarze Kommunikationsoffizierin küsste, was in den USA für Aufsehen sorgte. In seiner warmherzigen, humorvollen Autobiografie erzählt Shatner von seinem Leben zwischen Extremen: als einsames Kind in Montreal zum weltweiten Publikumsmagneten. Trotz seines Ruhms engagiert er sich auch für wohltätige Zwecke, unterstützt therapeutisches Reiten und unternimmt mit über 80 Jahren eine 2.400 Meilen lange Motorradtour, um Spenden für bedürftige Veteranenkinder zu sammeln. Sein Leben war geprägt von traumatischen Erlebnissen, wie dem Unfalltod seiner Frau, und Triumphen, wie dem Gewinn eines „Golden Globe“ und eines „Emmy“. In diesem fesselnden Buch teilt er originelle Gedanken zu Liebe, Leidenschaft, Hass und Menschlichkeit. Dabei begegnen dem Leser auch prägende Figuren wie Mr. Spock und Dr. McCoy. Diese Autobiografie ist ein ehrliches Porträt eines empfindsamen und kultivierten Menschen.

      The New York Times bestseller After almost sixty years as an actor, William Shatner has become one of the most beloved entertainers in the world. It was the original Star Trek series, and later its films, that made Shatner an internationally known figure, but he neither began nor ended his career with Captain Kirk. He straddled the classic world of the theater and the new world of television. He stepped in for Christopher Plummer in Shakespeare's Henry V and stared at "something on the wing" in a classic episode of The Twilight Zone. And since then, he's gone on to star in numerous successful shows, including T. J. Hooker, Rescue 911, and most recently, Boston Legal. In his touching and very funny autobiography Up Till Now, William Shatner reveals the man behind these unforgettable moments and tells us how he's become the worldwide star and acclaimed actor he is today.
