About this listen
PI Jake Cardigan is on the run from a mysterious assassin in this sci-fi thriller from iconic Star Trek actor and New York Times–bestselling author William Shatner.
Jake Cardigan has just returned from Mexico, where he fell in love, nearly died, and broke up the infamous Hokori cartel. But the drug kingpins whose fortunes rest on pushing Tek are still trying to do away with this devilish private eye.
During a routine trip to the mall, a well-dressed man tries to stab Cardigan through the heart. After a quick scuffle, the would-be assassin is dead on the floor, and Cardigan is the one who winds up in handcuffs. The dead man was an executive at a hydroponics company—an ordinary worker drone with no apparent reason to kill the detective.
An evil mastermind has learned how to make innocent civilians obey his commands, and he will sacrifice an army of zombie assassins if it means getting a clean shot at Cardigan. To stay alive, and out of jail, Cardigan will have to learn to steer clear of the mindless killers of Greater Los Angeles.

Not satisfied with the thrills of being one of Greater Los Angeles' toughest cops, Jake Cardigan turns to Tek, a computerized brain stimulant that transports the user to any reality he can imagine. He's soon addicted to this fantasy enabler—and it isn't long before Cardigan is accused of dealing. When he fails to convince the mechanized jury of his innocence, the state strips his badge and sentences him to fifteen years in suspended animation. Four years later, he's awakened. His sentence has been changed, but no one will tell him why.

Fantastic quick paced cyber noir
The story is gripping. A wrongly accused detective going after cyber tech drug lords. It’s gritty and filled with colorful characters. The tech itself is not overly complex, but serves as a background. This world is dark, yet the humor and casual banter adds comfort to at times the unforgiving existence of those who “have not”. There are no “post-humans” or any augmented humans (at least so far), the tech is in the usage of synthetics/androids/robots. The cyber is mostly relegated to the drugs in question. Jeffrey Kafer’s narration is great as well. Highly recommend. And no, this is not cyberpunk, but it is a more pulpy alternative.
