Waypoint Kangaroo: A Novel

by Curtis C. Chen

Waypoint Kangaroo is Curtis C. Chen's debut novel and the opening book in his Kangaroo series, blending a futuristic espionage thriller with fast-paced space adventure and humour. Secret agent Kangaroo possesses a unique ability to access an empty parallel universe known as the Pocket. Sent on a supposedly restorative cruise to Mars after a troubled mission, he becomes entangled in murder, conspiracy, and a threat to the peace between Earth and Mars.

This is the June 2016 first edition and first printing, identified by the first-edition statement and complete 10-to-1 number line on the copyright page. It is the Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press hardcover edition, ISBN 9781250081780. The novel was a 2017 Locus Award finalist in the First Novel category and a finalist for the 2017 Endeavour Award.

The copy is flat signed by Curtis C. Chen in blue ink on the title page. The signature is accompanied by a red Princess of Mars Cruises stamp, an attractive detail tied to the novel's interplanetary-cruise setting. An Autographed Copy sticker is present on the front.

Very Good hardcover in dust jacket, with light visible edge and corner wear, including slight wear around the spine ends. The photographed title page, copyright page, and jacket-flap area appear intact. The dust jacket is now housed in a removable clear plastic protective cover. The book will be carefully packed to help protect it in transit.
