Orphan Star (Pip and Flinx Book 4)
Flinx might agree with them—but the quest for patrimony wins out. An eccentric loner in a remote area could be the father Flinx has never stopped searching for, perhaps the only person who can unravel the mystery of his birth and his amazing, agonizing powers. Flinx has one thing going for him. From the Hardcover edition.
Adventures of Pip & Flinx Series
All Flinx has to do—while his pals look after his injured love Clarity Held—is find the hefty object and persuade it to knock out the monstrous evil that is hurtling through space to waste the entire Commonwealth. A no-brainer, really, especially for Flinx, who is never without his loyal entourage of official snoops, crazed zealots, assorted goons, and the occasional assassin.
Indeed, the boy wonder and his mini-drag, Pip, are eager to commence their heroic task. Still, life is full of surprises, and Flinx is about to get smacked by a passel of them—by turns devastating, heartening, and positively jaw-dropping. Could even the remarkable Flinx stop the deadly drug that was sweeping the galaxy? It caused instant addiction, followed by an excruciating slow death, and there was no known antidote.
It was a killer. Supposedly the drug had been totally eradicated from the humanx galaxy years before. But somehow, mysteriously, that dreadful substance was back in circulation on Repler and threatening to wreak havoc throughout the known galaxy.
Pip & Flinx Series
Someone somewhere was secretly manufacturing Bloodhype, but nobody seemed to know where or who! Running from the Deity. From science fiction legend Alan Dean Foster comes a thrilling Pip and Flinx adventure, wherein a certain red-haired, green-eyed young man blessed or cursed with strange powers finds himself and his mini-dragon sidekick on a top-secret mission concerning deep space, alien worlds. In the outer depths of the universe lies the Great Emptiness, where something dreadful lurks, hidden behind a great gravitational lens of dark matter.
Something horrific that howls and writhes and rages across three hundred million light-years of space—and is now heading straight for the Commonwealth and moving faster all the time. One slim chance exists to avert catastrophe, and only Flinx can take it. Roaming the galaxy is a conscious planet-size weapons system, the legacy of a long-extinct race. As Flinx is the only one who has ever experienced mental contact with the machine, it is his job to find the powerful alien artifact and coax it into joining the battle against the behemoth from beyond. So Pip and Flinx valiantly sail into the unknown aboard their little spaceship, which is immediately forced down for emergency repairs on planet Arrawd, home to less advanced sentients and therefore off-limits to space travelers.
Now, Flinx is no stranger to murderous attacks and stalking assassins—evading them occupies most of his waking hours—but to be besieged by hordes bent on worshipping him as a god? Worse still, escaping this fate is going to be as impossible as fulfilling his dire mission.
Time and again, the daring pair have braved countless dangers to emerge victorious. But now Flinx attempts something that may be impossible for the heretofore undefeated hero. Pursued by a newly revealed sect of doomsday fanatics, hunted by factions inside and outside the Commonwealth for transgressions real and imagined, expected to single-handedly avert a looming galactic crisis or bear responsibility for the consequences , Flinx can be forgiven for feeling a slight touch of melancholy.
But taking time off is tricky business. With an increasing number of enemies chasing him with ever-greater enthusiasm, Flinx must find a getaway shrouded in obscurity. Jast, a planet smack in the middle of nowhere, is the perfect locale. And by the time he learns the truth, it may be too late.
Bestselling author Alan Dean Foster delivers a Pip and Flinx novel featuring a certain twenty-four-year-old with red hair, growing powers, and a loyal sidekick who just happens to be a flying mini-dragon.
