Now, they 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. Usually, those hunts are long and tedious. But Roarke has now been handed an intriguing offer. A criminal boss, Robertine Cherno, will hand over a hitherto unknown portal to the Icarus Group in exchange for Roarke and Selene agreeing to transport a passenger named Nikki across the Spiral. There's only one catch. Nikki is a professional, high-priced, highly feared assassin. And she's on the job. That would have been bad enough. But when the alien Patth also move to gain possession of the portal, bad quickly promises to go to worse. Especially when it becomes clear that Nikki herself is being hunted by someone."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Interstellar travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Life on other planets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Assassins $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft. 800 1 $a Zahn, Timothy. $t Icarus saga ; $v 3. 941 $a 3 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20240509010451.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240502011935.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011820.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8C225328F0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
