Clarke and Gentry Lee Adult fiction published by Bantam Books ' More than half a century has passed since the enormous alien ship dubbec Rama entered our solar system. Commander Norton and his crew boarded the alien vessel and declared it to be an in- telligent robot with absolutely no interest in our solar system or its inhabitants. Dramatic changes take place following the Raman visit, The economy of the earth swings from an all-time high down. to a cataclysmic low called the Great Chaos in which millions of peo- ple starved to death. As the years passed and the people on Earth struggled for sur- vival, the alien intrusion passed into history. Only the ‘great scholars remained intrigued. It is now near the dawn of the 23rd century. A second space- craft, apparently identical to the first, is discovered hurtling across the solar system. A crew of a dozen is assembled to rendezvous with Rama II just inside the orbit of Venus. Among the crew are life science officer Nicole des Jardins, whose African heritage i is buried in mysticism; Richard Wake- field, a brilliant engineer who understands machines better than humans; scientist Shigeru Takagishi, who is obsessed with the alien vessel; and ambitious video journalist Francesca Sabatini. But the crew is totally unprepared for what they find aboard Rama IT. One fact does stand out though: Commander Norton discovered that the Ramans do everything in three’s. Rama II is a rather long book, 420 pages, but it’s well worth the time. It reads like fact instead of fiction. Tekwar by William Shatner Adult fiction published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons Jake Cardigan was a tough cop in 22nd century LA, but he was making someone nervous — very nervous — when he began __ investigating into who was selling Tek, a highly addictive com- puterized drug. Then Jake was framed for allegedly dealing in Tek, and sentenced to 15 years of compulsory coma on an orbiting prison module. But he is released after only four years; someone has pulled a lot of strings to have him paroled. Back on earth, he discovers his wife and son have left him, his name has not been cleared as he had hoped, and that the Cosmos - Detective Agency is most anxious to employ his services. Jake signs on with Cosmos. His assignment: locate a promi- nent scientist who mysteriously disappeared, along with his. | daughter, somewhere in Mexico. _ Dr. Leon Kittridge has developed an anti-Tek. device that, could literally eradicate Tek from the face-of the earth.,Cosmos is quite certain Dr. Kittridge had the device with him when he disap- peared, Jake runs into several ruthless characters — _ including the man who may have framed him — and who will stop at nothing to . possess the machine for their own diabolical purposes. But Jake has an.unusual ally. Tekwar is, as far as I know, Canadian.actor William Shatner’s first novel. I specifically chose this novel because I am a Star Trek fan from way back at the beginning. ‘The story is well writ- ten, the characters very believable, But don’t look for Star Trek here. Tekwar is a million light years away from the starship Enterprise.
