The Icarus Plot

The Icarus Plot
Timothy Zahn

Roarke and Selene are making a reasonable living as Trailblazers when Roarke is approached by two men with a proposal: track down a woman and through her, a secret project called Icarus. The challenge was intriguing, the unlimited budget tempting, but Roarke had a more personal reason to accept the job: payback.  

The Icarus Changeling

The Icarus Changeling
Timothy Zahn

Gregory Roarke and his partner, Selene, have a new assignment: locate a teleportation portal on a backwater world. A relatively straightforward job, it should have been easy enough…then the murders begin. Another of Selene’s people, a Kadolian teen who is connected to the crimes, complicates matters when it’s revealed he may be one of the potentially dangerous wild Kadolians called changelings.  

Hyde & Seek

Hyde & Seek
Simon R. Green

What happened to all the old aliens? The Martians, the Greys, the Bug-Eyed Monsters, and the Reptiloids? They’re coming out of the shadows with a vengeance, and Daniel and Tina Hyde are about to discover there are much worse things than monsters. Fortunately, the Hydes love a good fight.

Essen Defiant

Essen Defiant
Kim Mackey &
David Carrico
