Kangaroo’s back!
On the way home from his latest mission, secret agent Kangaroo's
spacecraft is wrecked by a rogue mining robot. The agency tracks the
bot back to the Moon, where a retired asteroid miner—code named
"Clementine"—might have information about who's behind the sabotage.
Set in the same world as WAYPOINT KANGAROO, this high-octane science-fiction spy thriller, bursting with adrenaline and intrigue, puts a unique spin on the outer space adventure. PRAISE FOR KANGAROO TOO"A wry, fast-paced spy thriller with a million twists and a good heart. Kangaroo's dry humor kept me turning pages well past my bedtime." — Tina Connolly, Nebula-nominated author of Ironskin "[A]s smart and sassy as its title character... Chen steers his well-wrought mystery into a succession of revelations that give it relentless momentum." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This is a caper novel reminiscent of Donald E. Westlake at his best: things start small, then escalate, then turn sideways and escalate again, and then the unexpected ambushes everybody. It's all about character and pacing and character: Chen is a master of both. If you like good old-fashioned plot-driven SF, you will like this book; if you like slightly absurd humorous SF, you'll like it even more. I want to read more from Chen." — Locus Magazine "The flippant humor of Kangaroo lightens the mood of what could be a gritty, international spy (à la James Bond) novel. An intrigue- and espionage-filled mystery set in space, with a captivating lead and a fast-paced plot that will fit the needs of lovers of genre fiction." — Booklist "[A]n intelligent and fun space mystery with a maturing and cheeky central character." — The Missourian "Anyone who loves science fiction is sure to love this book." — The Oregonian |

Fun sci-fi, reminds me of Scalzi." — The Doubleclicks "[A] solid premise, a zippy plot, and some intriguing world-building... Fans of Scalzi's Old Man's War Universe novels should seek this one out." — The Missourian "Chen is said to have studied at the feet of both John Scalzi and Ursula K. Le Guin, so I guess this book answers that age-old riddle." — B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog |
