Reddit mentions of The Icarus Hunt: A Novel

The Icarus Hunt by Timothy Zahn isn't exactly Noir, but it's a mystery set in space told in first person by a sarcastic, worldly narrator. It's clear that it was going for a "Noir + Star Wars + some hard scifi" was the aim there, and I think it delivers. Pretty fantastic book, IMHO.

Good point, I forgot about Zahn. I also remember enjoying one of his non-Star Wars books: The Icarus Hunt

In no particular order:

• The Enchanted Forest Chronicles.
  
• The Icarus Hunt.
  
• The Voynich Manuscript.
  
• The Chronicles of Narnia.
  
• Something else that I probably forgot. If I think of anything else, I'll add it.
  
  Most recently, I read the Quadrail series. It was pretty good. It was kind of like Zahn took The Icarus Hunt and expanded it into a full series, rather than a one-off. I think that The Icarus Hunt was better, though.
