His wit is as sharp as his karate chop.
In his defense, that really was a very stupid question to ask a writer, because it just says “hey, I haven’t read your work. Please be a good bitch and tell me about it, even though I’m just an online rando trying to farm you for attention.”
All books are the same on the way out
Do you eat them??
No way he writes all of those.
Edit: He also doesn’t run his Twitter, from what i’ve heard.
I read one of his scifi novels. It was very bad. But I didnt expect anything differnt tbh.
I read the first couple TekWar books. The first one isn’t that bad. Lots of good ideas but if I remember correctly the second book was just dull and I never finished it. Probably would be a good audiobook, maybe…
William Shatner reading any book as Kirk would be +1.
As who? That’s just the real him, on screen lol
Wasn’t that a game too?
Sure was, complete with poorly captured footage like in Command and Conquer.
It was one of the TekWar books but I have no idea which. I just know it was very badly written.
Actors arent inherently writers, its not really surprising or shameful to me.
I love Paul Darrow as Avon, but I’ve heard some pretty dismal things about the novel he wrote for his character’s family. And that’s okay, I’m not gonna knock him for trying. Same with Shatner.
It was amateur but readable so I wouldn’t say it was badly written. Someone probably had a hard time being his editor and staying objective
Well the kids have to learn about Tek War sooner or later
He had an album, I don’t even remember the type of music. I think it had a lot of spoken word so maybe it was jazz. It was in 90s, I was high.
He has a few albums. One from 1969, “The Transformed Man” and “Has Been” from 2009ish. I have both. The latter really is good with an excellent cover of Pulp’s “Common People”. A newer metal album from a few years ago I haven’t heard.

THAT’S IT!!
LOL!!!
Star Trek V and his run of Star Trek novels are the original NuTrek.
Aw I liked V, I think a lot of its issues were caused by the studio. “What does God need with a ship?” is easily the most Captain Kirk line in all of Trekdom.
Gonna get a lot of flack here but I liked V more than IV. Yeh, I said it. Who’s gonna fight me? :D
The whales
No need. I’m one of the few who really enjoys Insurrection… when viewed as a 2-parter episode.
I’m with you. Of all the things they could have done after turning our guys into outlaws, they go with a trip to 1980s Earth? I mean, it’s budget friendly, but a bit of a let down…
I quite enjoyed “The Return”. I suspect that was less due to his writing abilities than the 2 other writers…
Yeah it was a drug novel that didn’t even make the drug seem cool. 🤷🏻♀️
Needs a couple Shatner pauses and pronunciations.
Sure. I used… different words in… differentcombinations to tell… different stories.
“Shatner or Walken” would be a fiendishly difficult text quiz category 🤔
There are some original Trek scripts still around on the internet and this is how Kirk’s dialogue was written from the very first. I don’t see what else he was expected to do with it.
I don’t see what else he was expected to do with it.
Idunno, sing? 🤷🏻
She came from Greece. She had a thirst for knowledge.
yup, that was how I read this.
I heard that
On Amazon, they have book summaries, previews, and reviews. If you tell an author that you saw they have books on Amazon, and you ask them to go through the trouble of explaining them for you specifically when that information is already easily available on the very site you got that information from, you’re like the king of lazy entitled assholes.
If you can’t even be bothered to read the information off of Amazon, chances are, you’re not a big reader in the first place. There’s no point to taking you seriously.
It would probably be better if Shatner had simply ignored this person, but I’m not going to take a person to task when they were just being an asshole to a person who was previously acting like an asshole towards them.
I see that you’ve written a number of lengthy Comments. Could you explain the differences between them? Briefly?
Sure. I used different words in different combinations to respond to different posts or comments.
God, I read that in his 80’s voice
Most of his books are collaborations. Most of that stuff is more of a director’s role. Some have recounts of stories from him, some he’s provided actual material.
He can’t survive on acting and good looks on their own.
TekWar is (the) shit! 😃
