Jason Hunter and the Hand of Osiris

Reading Review called Jason Hunter and the Talisman of Elam, the first book in the epic Jason Hunter trilogy, "...a masterpiece of science fiction."

In this exciting sequel, Jason and his friends are abducted in broad daylight and whisked away to a secret meeting on a frozen planet. There, they learn that the ancient talisman of the Thothian people has been located. It's in a part of the galaxy that is off-limits -- and generally deadly -- to humans, but the inhabitants have demanded that humans come and remove it. Oruq, the Thothian leader, is on his way to do exactly that. Once he possesses it, he will plunge the galaxy into war.

Because he wants revenge, Earth will be his first target. He will come after Jason.

To stop this from happening, Jason must beat him to the talisman. But this time he can't claim it. Instead, he's going to do something much more dangerous.

He's going to steal it.
