I'm looking for a book I'm positive was written by William Shatner. Possibly the first in a series. Trouble is I can't seem to find it on his biblography. Can anyone help supply me the title etc from the snippets of the tale I do remember.

Good Aliens are canine in aspect. One is an ambassador hunted by assassins or something but is befriended/protected by a young male human.

Aliens are scared of something in the human psyche (s) and will instantly kill anyone showing a particular trait.

However due to test failures they miss this quality in one particular human (possibly the kid referred to earlier)

Anyone ?

Delta Search.

First of 4 in the Quest For Tommorow sequence

"Science Fiction Large Print Edition High-tech weaponry, spectacular action scenes, and breakneck pacing . . . combines Star Wars and cyperpunk. Publishers Weekly Young Jim Endicott has one dream to attend the Solis Space Academy, gateway to the stars and the civilization known as the Confederation. Jim doesnt realize that he has a secret encoded in his DNA. A secret that threatens an empire. His Academy application sets off an explosive chain of terror hurling a young man into an adventure way beyond his wildest dreams."

And it's only 3 quid.
