- <p>By MICHAEL QUINN

- <p> For WILLIAM SHATNER, the character of Captain James
- Tiberius Kirk, macho master of the future-faring starship
- Enterprise, has become far more than a movie and TV role: it's
- an industry. The latest Kirkiana: Shatner's memoirs, sold for
- a celestial $750,000. Publishing is one area where Shatner has
- gone before: his Tekwar science-fiction books are set in a
- non-Star Trek future but clearly trade on the actor's name.
- Plans are in the works to turn Tekwar into a TV series. At least
- a quarter of the episodes are to star and be directed by the
- enterprising Shatner.
