A NEW NOVEL IN THE ICARUS SERIES FROM NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF THE ADMIRAL THRAWN STAR WARS NOVELS TIMOTHY ZAHN

For years Gregory Roarke and his Kadolian partner Selene worked as crocketts, combing through the atmospheres of uninhabited worlds for places that might be colonized or hold valuable resources. Now, they quietly work for the Icarus Group, a top-secret government organization hunting for portals created by a long-vanished alien race, portals that can teleport a person hundreds or thousands of light-years in the blink of an eye.

Roarke and Selene are searching one such possibility when they find that someone appears to be stalking them. They evade their pursuers and return to find that a man named Easton Dent has been searching the Spiral’s databases for the names Gregory Roarke and Icarus.

Roarke reluctantly agrees to meet with him. But that first contact is cut short, and hours later Roarke is arrested and accused of Dent’s murder.

More importantly to Roarke’s Icarus Group overseers, that brief meeting also confirms that Dent was in recent contact with a portal.

But the alien Patth are also searching for such portals, and they are also on the trail. It’s now a race . . . and the Patth have resources and ruthlessness far beyond anything Roarke and Selene can match.

More please! Another great journey through the ever expanding Spiral. Well written and acted. The twists and turns keep you listening. I can’t wait for the next journey.

Another Great Story in the Spiral

Great book. Good plot. Classic Zahn. And as usual Marc Thompson’s voices are top notch. But whoever is mixing his audio really needs to balance out the dynamic range and make the recording louder. I’m a father of 5 kids and rarely get to listen to audiobooks in perfect silence. Thompson’s low voices are too soft to be heard properly even on full volume if you have any background noise. And the parts where the characters shout hurt your ears if you have the volume cranked up to hear the soft parts. I had to rewind countless times to catch critical dialog.

Great book, Worth the listen. Narrator too quiet.

Amazing entry into Icarus series

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Again, Zahn delivers a solid story that kept me entertained. But Marc Thompsons voice acting makes it come alive. I was enthralled from start till end.

Exciting adventure and detective style story.

if you were a fan of the previous two Icarus novels you'll love this one. Marc Thompson is wonderful as always

Even more twists and turns

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Thoroughly enjoying the interplay between mobsters, aliens and humans with the Icarus team. Highly complex storyline which keeps my interest and simple storytelling style that makes it easy to listen to.

Clever ending queues up the next story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I was optimistic the voices were better on this one given some reviews but still largely the same gravely, cartoonish sounds from the previous books. The plot doesn't quite hit the same beats as the last one but still a solid entry in the series.

A good follow-up, voices still terrible

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The ridiculous, over the top voices & accents drive me crazy. Especially when they are entirely inappropriate to a character.

Silly voices

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Some quiet bit you will need a quiet place to hear,or a volume adjustment.

Fun but big shifts in volume

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

what a great book! love this series and love Marc's voice work. you can't go wrong with Zahn

another Icarus gem

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
