<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this thrilling sequel to "The Third Lynx," former government agent Frank Compton must ride the interstellar Quadrail in search of a missing girl, if he wants to clear himself of her sister's brutal murder. But can he find her before the tyrannical Modhri gets to her first?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Ex-government agent Frank Compton must keep an extraordinary little girl safe from the malevolent group intelligence seeking to enslave the universe in the explosive third installment of Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn's Quadrail series </b> <p/> Frank Compton is glad he's finally back on his home planet of Earth--galaxy-hopping aboard the Quadrail on his continuing mission to prevent the Modhri group mind from ruling the universe is exhausting business--but hadn't expected to find a young woman waiting for him in his New York apartment with a loaded gun in her hand. Ignoring her demands that he rescue her 10-year-old sister, the former Western Alliance Intelligence agent sends his unwelcome guest packing--only to find himself under arrest the following day for her brutal murder. <p/> Released on bail and determined to do the right thing, Compton makes tracks for the world of New Tigris. But a captive child is not all that he discovers there: Little Rebekah may also hold the key to the ultimate defeat of the Modhri. Suddenly, keeping one small girl safe is the most important--and dangerous--task Compton has ever undertaken. And with the Modhris' mind-slave "walkers" everywhere, there may be no safe place for an "abomination" and her protector to hide. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P> Good thriller, full of red herrings, blind alleys, and rising tension.
