In this heart-pounding science fiction adventure from William Shatner,
debonaire, eighty-year-old director Samuel Lord and the "Zero-G" men are
in charge of investigating terrorism, crime, corruption, and espionage
aboard the space station Empyrean--and stopping the Chinese from
accidentally destroying the Earth.In the year 2050, the United States
sends the FBI to govern its space station, The Empyrean. Under the
command of suave, eighty-year-old director Samuel Lord, the "Zero-G" men
are in charge of investigating terrorism, crime, corruption, and
espionage and of keeping an eye on the rival Chinese and Russian
stations. NASA is conducting a top-secret project in the agricultural
center of the US space station Empyrean, using microscopic robots called
nanites to construct a vine that can survive in space. The plan is to
grow structural material for an elevator that will reach from the
Empyrean and Earth. Unfortunately, a Russian spy inadvertently causes
the growth to rage out of control, not only threatening the Empyrean,
but the Russian space station Red Giant. Under the guidance of Director
Samuel Lord, Zero-G must identify the spy, help find a way to reverse
the fast-replicating vine, and manage a form of "space zombie" birthed
by the nanites. The surprising solution takes Lord and a Russian pilot
on a dangerous mission to Venus--where a shocking discovery awaits. "A
tightly paced blend of police procedural, military science fiction, and
space opera, set in an intriguing near-future world" (Publishers
Weekly), Zero-G is an exciting installment from a master of the craft.
