Once again, Shatner weaves a simple tale around the same general characters. Jake Cardigan and his loyal pal Sid Gomez, Jake's son Dan, various and nefarious rogue government agents that operate somewhat out of the bounds of agency propriety but within a set of rules, ruthless Tek lords that do not hesitate to kill their opposition, journalists with a love-hate relationship with Sid and various new bad guys thrown intro the mix. This book is formulaic of the Tek series by Shatner, it is not a deep story, and I characterize them as the type that you read in bed as you are winding your mind down for sleep.
A Tek user is killed outside Dan's home and since he is a former friend of Jake, the inept police suspect that Dan and/or Jake committed the murder. It is quickly clear, even to the incompetent police, that neither Dan nor Jake was responsible and the victim's wife hires the Bascom agency to investigate the murder. The investigation involves the loss of a set of weapons so vicious that the U.N. has banned them and it is believed that they were smuggled into Spain to be used in a coup attempt. After a journey, several pointless deaths and some of the standard harrowing escapes, Jake and Sid manage to solve the crime and recover the weapons. There are no surprises in the story.

Great book, but doesnt cut it for me so I give it the 4 *'s
