Synopsis
When former government agent Frank Compton steps back into his apartment after his tangle with the Modhri—a coral-like group mind—he finds a young woman with his gun in her hands waiting for him. Her little sister’s life is in danger and Compton is the only one who can help. After retrieving his gun and kicking her out, he finds himself falsely acused of her murder. With a little help, he posts bail, gets a new identity, and begins the search for the little girl.
About the Author
It is not often that you hear of someone going through several years of postgraduate education, who ends up turning a hobby into their life's, paying, productive work. Such is the unusual story of American author, Timothy Zahn, who was born in 1951, grew up in Lombard, IL and graduated with a B.S. Degree in physics from Michigan State University. He then proceeded to the University of IL where he received his M.S. Degree in 1975. After beginning his doctorate in physics, his advisor passed away, and he never did complete the studies.
Zahn had started writing as a hobby, so when his plans changed, he took his writing of science fiction to a higher level. Zahn is best known for his Thrawn Star Wars series of novels. He has also had other novels of fantasy and science fiction. There are also many works that he has penned in short story fiction.
Zahn and his wife Anna live in Bandon, Oregon and have one son, Corwin Zahn.
