The Icarus Needle

By: Timothy Zahn

Narrated by: Marc Thompson

NEW ENTRY IN THE ICARUS SAGA FROM NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR TIMOTHY ZAHN.

Ten thousand years ago, a mysterious people known as the Icari vanished from the Spiral, leaving behind a network of portals that can instantaneously transport passengers hundreds or thousands of light-years across the stars.

Gregory Roarke and his Kadolian partner Selene have been tasked with seeking out these alien artifacts and bringing them under the control of the Icarus Group. But the Group’s leadership has changed, and Roarke soon finds himself at serious odds with the new director’s plans.

The result: a counter-plan that lands Roarke and Selene on a distant world with a broken city, a dozen portals, and a group of aliens called the Ammei who dream of using the portals to bring back their own glory days.

But their ambitions will be costly, and not just for themselves. Roarke and Selene must put together the scattered clues and solve the riddle of the Ammei and their plans, while at the same time fending off the Patth and their bid to claim the city and portals for themselves.

Because the Icari are gone . . . aren’t they?

The Best Galaxy to Travel to!

Every moment in the Spiral is amazing! This book fills it out even more with new things and technology. I want this series to go on forever. The story is engrossing, the characters are perfect, and the pacing is on point. Please more!

Once again AMAZING

I love his books so much. This book on the other hand is part of a series for each of them add and build an each other art equally independent. I love how I could just hand my friend this newest book and you wouldn’t need to ask me any questions and I wouldn’t have to say anything only he would’ve had a complete story. I love the mystery components. I love the detective work. I love the sci-fi science. This is an amazing job done by an amazing author.

I look forward to reading all his books over and over again as the series continues or not. That didn’t stop me from reading his first book of the series The Icarus Hunt every three months in comparing new things I discovered in the book with my family as they reread the book.
