To be clear, not every book ever needs to be high literature, and every diet could use an occasional (or more than occasional) treat, something simple and digestible.īook one, TekWar, works well for this. It's never going to be remembered anything like the movers and shakers in cyberpunk like William Gibson, but simply, it's not trying to be. I'll forever swear by the quality of TekWar, the first novel in this collection and the Tek series as a whole, as a genuinely pretty good, albeit lesser part of the cyberpunk literary canon. As international peace hangs in the balance, he must stop the bloodshed before his old nemeses can exact the ultimate revenge. But Cardigan soon discovers that the true motive behind the slayings isn’t war but profit for the drug kingpins known as TekLords. TekLab: A brutal murder on the streets of Paris appears to be but one of a string of killings around the world connected to the Brazilian wars of the past decade. An evil mastermind has learned how to make innocent civilians obey his commands, and he will sacrifice an army of zombie killers if it means getting a clean shot at Cardigan. TekLords: After taking down a powerful Tek cartel, Cardigan finds himself targeted by assassins and stonewalled by authorities who refuse to see the looming danger of a lethal computer virus that threatens not only technology, but humanity as well.

Aiding this quest is the right thing to do, but for an ex-con, doing good can be the most dangerous decision of all. When he’s released from cryo-prison early, his search for answers takes him to Mexico, where a rogue scientist is attempting to rid the world of Tek. TekWar: Four years ago, Greater Los Angeles lawman Jake Cardigan was framed for dealing Tek, losing his badge, his good name, and his freedom. For those who become addicted, it’s out of this world . . . It’s a bio-digital microchip more powerful and mind-altering than any other drug ever known. In the twenty-second century, mankind has expanded the horizons of science and technology.
