The Icarus Coda (7) (The Icarus Saga)

The Icarus Coda by best-selling author Timothy Zahn is the final chapter in his award-winning series, Icarus Saga. Being the sixth book in this exciting, binge-worthy series, previous events make much more sense when read in order. Comparing this book to the rest of the series and other Zahn novels, The Icarus Coda is more action-packed with more interplanetary fight and chase scenes. The same characters who are involved in all the added drama are the highlights of this series. Zahn is a master at character development, and even after six books, there are no boring or forgettable players. Zahn introduces an essential new character for this book that helps explain everything that has led up to this point and adds to the overall delight and humor of this book.

In The Icarus Coda, we follow Roarke and his partner Selene while hunting for one last portal. The plot of all six books is similar, but the beauty of this series is the twists, turns, and misdirection Zahn throws to the readers. As finales go, this book and its ending are incredibly satisfying. As Gregory Roarke so elegantly put it, we are “Reaching the end of a long twisty road.”
