A Hugo Award winner, a #1 New York Times bestselling author, Timothy Zahn is one of the most popular and respected writers of speculative fiction today. In The Icarus Hunt, Zahn delivers a wild hyperspace romp through the galaxy-a bold epic filled with unrelenting action, unforgettable characters, and a healthy dose of humor. Jordan McKell is a renegade star-freighter pilot struggling to survive in a galaxy where trade is monopolized by the oppressive Patth. But when he takes a job flying a broken-down antique ship and its "special cargo" to Earth, neither Jordan nor his mechanic-partner Ixil (an alien being with two ferret like "outhunters" linked to his neural system) has any idea of the stakes involved. Soon Jordan and Ixil find themselves lumbering through space on the Icarus with a ragtag crew, an unknown saboteur, and a large sealed container the Patth will do anything to intercept. It's not long before Jordan suspects he and Ixil are in the middle of a vast conspiracy that could change the course of human history.Zahn, Timothy is the author of 'Icarus Hunt' with ISBN 9780553573916 and ISBN 0553573918.
