William Shatner started
writing his Tek series of novels during a strike on the set of Star
Trek V. Ten volumes later, the story made it to the small screen, first
as four TV movies and finally as this weekly series.
Jake Cardigan (Greg Evigan)
is a grizzled ex-cop in the cyberpunkish world of 2045, fighting to get
Tek -- the latest drug, a computer chip that lets users tap into highly
addictive virtual reality -- off the streets.
