The Duke of Uranium, Paperback / softback Book

The Duke of Uranium Paperback / softback

Part of the Jak Jinnaka series

Paperback / softback

Description

Jak Jinnaka’s teenage life in the thirty-sixth century has been nothing but fun—ignoring school, partying outrageously with his beautiful girlfriend, Sesh, and spending his uncle Sib’s huge fortune.

But then, while they are out for a wild night of post-graduation clubbing, Sesh is kidnapped by the dangerous, enigmatic Duke of Uranium.   Bruised and battered, Jak wakes up to a whole new reality.

Sweet, superficial Sesh is actually Princess Shyf of Greenworld, daughter of the rulers of a powerful faraway spaceport.

Kind and slightly dotty old Uncle Sib is a legendary spymaster. And Jak’s whole life has been preparation for the world of espionage . . .   Now, his maiden mission is to rescue his girlfriend from one of the most powerful aristocrats in the solar system—or is it?

The world Uncle Sib has plunged him into has wheels within every wheel and hidden forces in every shadow, in this action-packed tale by the acclaimed author of Directive 51 and the Timeline Wars series.   “Rollicking space opera with outlaws, space travel, kidnappings, rescues, chases, and the abrupt coming of age of the protagonist.” —Science Fiction Chronicle   “Barnes plays with old-fashioned space opera in this far-future SF adventure. . . . This is a fun romp.” —Locus
