Private eye Jake Cardigan must derail an insidious plot by the ruthless Tek cartel to replace the US president with an android designed to do the group’s dark bidding
William Shatner—TV’s original Captain Kirk of Star Trek fame—displays another side of his remarkable talent with his sixth science fictional excursion into a future world where the ubiquitous techno-drug Tek rules, and one man remains dedicated to wiping the scourge and its criminal suppliers from the face of tomorrow’s Earth.
Jake Cardigan, twenty-second-century ex-cop, private investigator, and former Tek user, has been given a special assignment by the head of the Cosmos Detective Agency: to track down the murderer of his daughter-in-law. It is a job that takes Jake and his partner, Sid Gomez, from Los Angeles to the East Coast and into the heart of a terrifying conspiracy surrounding the president of the United States. Unbeknownst to the nation and the world, President Warren Brookmeyer, a Tek addict, is in rehab and has been temporarily replaced by an android twin, indistinguishable from the real chief executive. But the brazen scheme to shield the country from the truth is, in reality, the brainchild of the ruthless and powerful TekLords, who intend to keep the simulacrum in power indefinitely in order to alter official policy concerning the dangerous mind-enhancing electronic drug. If Jake and Sid fail to expose and eliminate this treasonous plot, the president will surely die—along with liberty, the law, and the twenty-second-century American way.
Technology has advanced to the point where humans can now be replaced by android surrogates--and the Teklords are taking advantage. Jake Cardigan must stop them from abducting the President of the U.S., a man addicted to Tek, and putting an android in his place, programmed with a whole new set of policies that will throw the country and the world into chaos.
