SHATNER, William
(1931-)
   Canadian actor and writer, long resident in the USA, where he gained fame as Captain Kirk in the STAR TREK tv series, going on to star in all the film sequels; he also directed the disappointing STAR TREK V: THE FINAL FRONTIER (1989), about which he wrote, with Lisbeth Shatner, TheCaptain's Log: William Shatner's Personal Account of the Making of Star Trek V, the Final Frontier (1989). Other books incorporating public memories include Star Trek Memories (1993) with Chris Kreski and Star Trek Movies Memories (1994), also with Kreski. In the preface to his first sfnovel, TekWar (1989) - set in a 22nd-century Los Angeles where crime is rife, and where a wise-mouth robot resignedly helps a lanky protagonist solve a mystery - WS acknowledges the assistance of Ron GOULART, who is otherwise uncredited as co-author. Teklords (1991),TekLab (1991), Tek Vengeance (1993), Tek Secret (1993) and Tek Power (1994), all also withGoulart (uncredited), soon followed. Believe Me (1992) with Michael Tobias is associational, with tinges of the occult.
