Many thanks to my good friend, David ‘The Witch’ Robinson, for posting a link to this book on my Facebook page. I am ordering it immediately.
Here’s the blurb from Amazon:
It’s Shatner VS Shatners!
William Shatner? William Shatner. WILLIAM SHATNER!!! It’s the first ShatnerCon with William Shatner as the guest of honor! But after a failed terrorist attack by Campbellians, a crazy terrorist cult that worships Bruce Campbell, all of the characters ever played by William Shatner are suddenly sucked into our world. Their mission: hunt down and destroy the real William Shatner.Featuring: Captain Kirk, TJ Hooker, Denny Crane, Rescue 911 Shatner, Singer Shatner, Shakespearean Shatner, Twilight Zone Shatner, Cartoon Kirk, Esperanto Shatner, Priceline Shatner, SNL Shatner, and – of course – William Shatner!
No costumed con-goer will be spared in their wave of destruction, no redshirt will make it out alive, and not even the Klingons will be able to stand up to a deranged Captain Kirk with a lightsaber. But these Shatner-clones are about to learn a hard lesson…that the real William Shatner doesn’t take crap from anybody. Not even himself.
It’s Shatnertastic!
What a concept. I’ll post a review after I’ve read it. Assuming my head doesn’t explode in sheer delight.

Someone I know just went to the ‘London Film and Comic Conference’. At £35 a pop, Mr Shatner was the second most expensive person to be photographed with in the ‘fan photo area’. (It’s not much of an anecdote, I know, but it was the best I could do.)

True genius doesn’t manifest itself often, but here I fall prostrate at Jeff Burk’s feet. The IDEA is so perfect that you know the book will be awesome.
Can’t wait for the dark sequel featuring Mel Gibson.
