They just happen to have AMAZING unintended consequences. He just happens to have a preternatural talent for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Good astrophysics, great backstory, lots of worldbuilding, and great characters and baseline story that tends to go nuts with even bigger things happening all around him. Flinx finds his life in danger when he and his two companions, Pip and Ab, travel to the planet of Alaspin in search of the secret of Flinxs past. There he hoped to find the giant man with the gold. So sure, we can call this YA but it's pretty awesome for us SF freaks, too. Buy a cheap copy of The End of the Matter book by Alan Dean Foster. Accompanied by his faithful minidragon Pip and a most troublesome alien called Abalamahalamatandra - Ab for short - Flinx set out for Alaspin, the ruggedly primitive homeworld of his flying snake. So yeah, an ancient civilization or two, lots of ruins and a jungle, an armada of dangerous and deadly aliens, and a rogue black hole ravaging tons of systems. Maybe I should just trust ADF from now on. I'm surprised it works as well as it does. Add an idea where to find the mysterious personage who tried and failed to purchase the kid he was on the slave block, a weird-ass alien who is the main target for said assassins, and we've got a cool recipe for adventure. Multi-world, organized, extremely powerful assassins. We could blame most of that on Pip, but Flinx is always putting himself in unwelcome positions. Alan Dean Foster has written in a variety of genres, including hard science fiction, fantasy, horror, detective, western, historical, and contemporary fiction.He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Star Wars: The Approaching Storm and the popular Pip & Flinx novels, as well as novelizations of several films, including Transformers, Star Wars, the first three Alien films, and Alien. Just how messed up could *that* quest get?įirst of all, Flinx has an amazing talent for killing random people for good reasons at extremely unfortunate times. His mother, having been found in the previous volume, only leads to a missing father. Instead, we have the continuing quest to find out just where Flinx came from. This one seems to have had fewer twists and turns than the previous one but that's perfectly okay.
