      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.

      Lebe lang ... und was ich auf meinem Weg lernte

      Star Trek legend and veteran author William Shatner discusses the meaning of life, finding value in work, and living well whatever your age."I have always felt," William Shatner says early in his newest memoir, that "like the great comedian George Burns, who lived to 100, I couldn't die as long as I was booked." And Shatner is always booked.Still, a brief health scare in 2016 forced him to take stock. After mulling over the lessons he's learned, the places he's been, and all the miracles and strange occurrences he's witnessed over the course of an enduring career in Hollywood and on the stage, he arrived at one simple rule for living a long and good life: don't die.It's the only one-size-fits-all advice, Shatner argues in Live Long and..: What I Learned Along the Way, because everyone has a unique life--but, to help us all out, he's more than willing to share stories from his unique life. With a combination of pithy humor and thoughtful vulnerability, Shatner lays out his journey from childhood to peak stardom and all the bumps in the road. (Sometimes the literal road, as in the case of his 2,400-mile motorcycle trip across the country with a bike that didn't function.)William Shatner is one of our most beloved entertainers, and he intends never to stop entertaining. His funny, provocative, and poignant reflections offer an unforgettable read about a remarkable man.

      William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy first mey as journeymen actors on the set of 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'. Little did they know that their next roles, in a new science-fiction television series, would shape their lives in ways no one could have anticipated. In seventy-nine television episodes and six feature films, they grew to know each other more than most friends could ever imagine. As much a biography of Nimoy as an autobiography of their friendship, this is a uniquely heartfelt book written by one legendary actor in celebration of another.

      4,3(11)Ohodnotiť

      Eine intergalaktische Freundschaft: Captain Kirk über Mr. Spock Leonard Nimoy wurde durch seine Rolle als Mr. Spock in der Serie Star Trek berühmt. Mit dem stets auf Logik bedachten Vulkanier schuf er einen Charakter, der wie kaum ein zweiter die Popkultur bis heute prägt. Am Set lernte Nimoy William Shatner alias Captain Kirk kennen, mit dem ihn 50 Jahre lang eine enge Freundschaft verband. Gemeinsam gingen die beiden Männer durch Höhen und Tiefen, beruflich wie privat. Anhand zahlreicher Anekdoten zeichnet William Shatner nun das faszinierende Leben seines besten Freundes nach und zeigt uns den Mann hinter dem unemotionalen Vulkanier: den feinfühligen Poeten, Fotografen, gläubigen Juden und trockenen Alkoholiker. Eine berührende Biografie und die Geschichte einer großen Freundschaft – nicht nur für Star - Trek -Fans! Ausstattung: mit Farbbildteil
