TekWar is set in the 22nd century. The protagonist is Jake Cardigan, a former police officer who is framed for dealing tek, an illegal, mind-altering, digital drug. Sentenced to fifteen years' cryo-imprisonment, he is released after serving only four. Jake begins working for Walt Bascom, the man who arranged for his early release, and dedicates himself to hunting the real tek lords.

The novel received negative reviews from People magazine. "Shatner tries to disguise language and narrative weaknesses under a blizzard of futuristic details and a pell-mell plot. It's a nice try, but Tek War is undone by superficial characters and stilted dialogue."[2] The social cataloging website Goodreads gives the book 3.19 stars out of 5, based on 1,248 ratings.[3]Michael J. Nelson's and Conor Lastowka's podcast series 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back analysed and criticised TekWar in 2018.[4]
