Tek Secret

This is one of the books in the Tek War series developed by Shatner, and made into a movie and TV series. I was aware of only three books in this series, but this book is the 6th Tek book. These books are mystery novels, along the line of murder mysteries. But the focus is not murder, though sometimes that occurs and adds to the mystery to be revealed. The events revolve around the 22nd century problem of addiction to an electrical ecstasy called Tek (from "technology"). This has been criminalized in the future era, and there is a special Tek police force that attempts to enforce the ban, deal with the victims, and ferret out the criminal syndicates that manage the trade in Tek instruments. This is a somewhat complicated plot that maintains the reader's interest and keeps the story moving. The details of the future world in which the story takes place transports the reader into that future world and the events unfolding. Suspense is maintained even as the mystery unfolds.
