Overview

"A rollicking, galaxy-spanning SF adventure series that will make your imagination spin! McGill Feighan is a ""flinger""-able to teleport himself or anything else as far away as he can imagine (as long as he's been there before). He can travel across the universe in a flicker and a flash. But that's not all. The Far Being, known as Retzglaran, has interfered with McGill from his birth, and is the source of his powers...and his persecution. When McGill was only four days old, an interstellar crime syndicate known as The Organization put out a contract on his life. What does the universe have against him? And can he learn to control his powers enough to survive the assortment of people who have taken far too much interest in his life... As a young man, McGill sets off on an unguided quest for the Far Being, a journey that will take him to the most fantastic worlds, among the most incredible alien species. It might be a fun adventure...if the whole galaxy wasn't out to kill him."

Author Information

As the author of ten published novels and over seventy published short stories and articles, Kevin O'Donnell, Jr. had a devoted following of readers. One of his most popular and beloved works is the McGill Feighan series, a fast-paced and fun science fiction romp. Kevin was an active contributor to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association. He chaired SFWA's Nebula Award Committee, ran SFWA's Bulletin, and served as Chairman of SFWA's Grievance Committee, where he fought unceasingly for the rights of authors in an era of growing Internet piracy and corporate disregard of personal copyrights. As a result of these activities, he received the Service to SFWA Award. Kevin spent much of his teen years in South Korea, where his father was Country Director for the Peace Corps. His interest in Asia and language skills led him to take his degree at Yale in Chinese Studies, where he met his wife Kim, with whom he was happily married until his passing in 2012. An avid gardener, O'Donnell delighted in raising bonsai, vegetables, and assorted plants. WordFire Press is pleased to bring the works of Kevin O'Donnell, Jr. back into print for a new audience.
