Gregory Roarke—former bounty hunter, former Trailblazer, current agent for the ultra-secret Icarus Group—has received a new assignment: locate a suspected but as-yet undiscovered teleportation portal on the backwater colony world of Alainn.

The rival Patth are also searching for the device, and have considerably more resources at their disposal. Fortunately, Roarke has Selene and her incredibly sensitive Kadolian sense of smell. On paper, it should be a straightforward enough job.

But that was before there was a murder in the small town of Bilswift . . . and another one . . . and the discovery that the Patth are already on the scene and have narrowed the search to a heavily forested area in the hills and mountains east of town.

Most disturbing of all is the discovery that one of Selene’s people, a Kadolian teenaged boy named Tirano, is working at one of Bilswift’s fish markets. A boy who may have lost his parents before his proper socialization was completed. A boy who may be connected to both the murders and the Patth.

A boy who may be the potentially dangerous wild card that the Kadolians call changelings.

Reviews for Icarus Changeling

"Praise for The Icarus Plot: ""This is Zahn at his best--great characters and settings, great worldbuilding, great suspense, and just a ton of action and space opera fun . . . It's also a passion project for the author, so if you enjoy Zahn, it's not to be missed."" --Analog SF&F ""There are plenty of little things to delight the longtime Zahn reader, while also bringing new fans in a way that is perfectly accessible . . . Zahn remains one of the best writers of action I have ever had the pleasure of reading . . . The Icarus Plot is pure fun in the way that only one of the genre's greatest yarn-weavers can do."" --Warped Factor ""Timothy Zahn is a mainstay in the field of science fiction."" --Seattle Book Review ""Anyone who has ever been interested in noir science fiction and espionage should read this. Take the espionage of John le Carre, the deduction of Sherlock Holmes, the twisty nature of The Sting, and you have The Icarus Plot."" --Upstream Reviews Praise for Timothy Zahn: ""Zahn fans will enjoy the variety of small-unit combat scenes in the action-packed third and final Cobra Rebellion military SF adventure . . . [a] gripping series."" --Publishers Weekly ""Zahn keeps the story moving at a breakneck pace, maintaining excitement."" --Publishers Weekly "". . . you can count on Timothy Zahn for three things: clean, sparse prose; good pacing; and great action scenes. The first book in the Cobra War series hits all those marks in admirable style and makes for a quick, entertaining sci-fi novel."" --BlogCritics ""[Conqueror's Heritage] is another finely wrought space adventure . . . [with] social, political, and emotional complications, all of which Zahn treats with his usual skill."" --Booklist ""Zahn paints every detail [in Angelmass] with gleamy realism . . . scientific dialogue that streams with starship hardware and military trooper talk . . . immensely appealing."" --Kirkus Review Praise for The Icarus Twin: ""The Icarus Twin offers a fast-paced adventure that is every bit as exciting and entertaining as The Icarus Plot. If you are looking for a mix of action and mystery, read it."" --Ricochet"
