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!
From the Inside Flap
"...getting a lightsaber-wielding Captain Kirk in the same room with "Boston Legal's" Denny Crane is definitely worth the cover price in comedic gold." - Wizard Magazine
"It's like Lloyd Kaufman and Sam Raimi's mutant offspring wrote a book." - Wil Wheaton, Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation
"This is surreal and weird and funny, and it's also super violent, in the same food-coloring-plus-corn-syrup-equals-fake-blood sort of way as Evil Dead 2 or Bad Taste." - THE PORTLAND MERCURY'S BLOGTOWN
"It's like Die Hard, but instead of Bruce Willis fighting terrorists it's William Shatner fighting other versions of himself... In other words, it's fucking awesome!" - CARLTON MELLICK III, author of Satan Burger

4.0 out of 5 stars
funny as h*ll,
By Sam Reeve (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shatnerquake (Paperback)
This book is great! Funny, even if you're not a trekky (I don't know how to spell that word and don't feel like looking it up, sorry).Very cheesy and at times sloppy, but it just makes it feel all the more like some of the films Shatner has graced us with. I don't want to give anything away and spoil it, but there are some pretty original things in this book that are SO worth reading. And the ending is perfect!

Earth-Shatnering Awesomeness,
By Spock "Live long and prosper." - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shatnerquake (Paperback)
If you're wondering whether Shatnerquake lives up to its premise, rest assured, it packs more Shatner greatness into every scene than any series that has ever featured the real William Shatner (if such a thing as the "real" Shatner exists). It's kind of like Jeff Burk took Shatner's entire career, threw it into a blender, and then made it into a stiff pulp-bizarro drink. Not only does it feature Captain Kirk, T.J. Hooker, and Priceline Shatner, but there's also my favorite Shatner of all. I'll refrain from spoiling the surprise you'll get when that William S. comes up in the book. To add to the awesomeness, you also have the Campbellians. I imagine fans of Bruce Campbell will appreciate their sinister role in the plot. With all its geeked-out awesomeness, Shatnerquake is a fun read.

Totally worth it,
By Razorgirl "punk chick who eats brains" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shatnerquake (Paperback)
The concept of this book is so hilarious you just can't deny its awesomeness. Not only is it a cool idea for a book, but it is also a heck of a lot of fun to read. My favorite parts are seeing Captain Kirk interacting with fat nerdy people in Star Trek costumes, mistaking them for members of his crew. I also love Rescue 9-1-1 Shatner and Priceline Shatner, who teleports around people. This is the funniest book I've read in a long time. It needs to be made into a movie.

Shatner on Shatner Action,
By David Raffin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shatnerquake (Paperback)
Jeff Burk's Shatnerquake is the finest story ever told containing multiple William Shatners. Lesser authors have been shackled before now with writing only one role for Shatner. This is understandable, in the field of television and film, for logistical reasons. However, this has never been the case in the literary realm and Burk has led the way here with both great panache and bloodletting.Unsatisfied with a single Shatner, Burk here provides a wall of Shatners. A smorgasbord of Shatners. Indeed, every possible variation of Shatner is set upon onlookers, each other, and the reader. No one is safe, let alone Shatner. While some people have, in the past, mocked Shatner, deriding his skill as a thespian, song stylist, or margarine spokesman, Burk has shown that the problem has never been one of too much Shatner, rather too little. Free of casting limitations the literary form allows for full Shatner on Shatner action. At last Shatner is presented on a level playing field, where characters are of the same caliber. With Shatnerquake, Burk has solved the Shatner dilema, which has plagued man since 1951, and he shall be remembered forever for this. Denny Crane! |
