5.0 out of 5 stars This book shows all the details missed in the pilot episode., November 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Knight Rider (Paperback)

KNIGHT RIDER takes the popular television series and shows all the backround material missed on the show. Michael Long, an under cover police officer was shot point blank in the face. A mysterious dying millionaire saves his life and recreates a youthful version of himself to not only put the bad guys (and girls) in jail, but to prove that one man really can make a difference. Michael Long becomes "Michael Knight" and is given a futuristic car titled "Knight Industries Two Thousand" or "K.I.T.T." for short. The car resembles Michael's Trans Am but is far from a stock GM car. K.I.T.T. and Michael get off to a rocky start, but by the end of the book, become friends. It is hard to imagine a car as a friend, but the author makes it almost believable.

This review is from: Knight Rider (Paperback)

A police officer is shot and left for dead. The Foundation for Law Enforcement and Government rescues him, and surgically gives him a new identity. Michael Knight is born.

They convince him to work as a travelling hero and troubleshooter, in partnership with a car, the Knight Industries Two Thousand, or KITT. The car has artificial intelligence, super armour, heightened speed, and other neat tricks.

He has a boss and handler, a mechanic, etc., to help him with his crusade.

In this introduction, KITT's charm and sarcastic intelligence is evident, it is clear the car is smarter than the humans around it.
