Mr. Richard Bascom gets a telephone call that he should not believe his wife’s death was an accident. As far as he knows, his wife is at dinner with a work associate. His father, Walt Bascom, hires Jake Cardigan, an ex-cop turned private investigator to look into the accident. There are powers to be that want to close the case. They do not want any investigation because the entire cover up with be exposed. There are androids taking place of prominent people to confuse the public. Is the president really the president, or is it a robot? No one knows for sure.

The book has a steady pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. The storyline was believable with the advancement of artificial intelligence. If you are a fan of science fiction, you may enjoy reading this book.

I am going back to review some of the titles that I belatedly forgot to review in the past. I cannot believe that this is one that slipped my mind. I ended up loving this so much that I read the entire series. Sci-fi is not even really my thing - but I find myself thinking about parts of this series all of the time. Shatner (and ghostwriter Ron Goulart) created a future world that is easy to see, easy to imagine that we evolved right into the pages. Is it bombastic? Sure. Is it fine literature? Nope. However, it is a pleasant read and I bet if you pick up and read one of the books you will want to continue the series.
