At last, New York Times bestselling author Alan Dean Foster returns to
his acclaimed Humanx universe, where a young human orphan called Flinx
seeks to unlock the dangerous secrets of his past--and the uncertain
prospects of his future with the aid of the formidable minidrag known as
Pip. This is the most mind-bending Pip and Flinx adventure yet--a
roller-coaster ride into the unknown, filled with wonder and humor, and
a host of deadly adversaries.
Using his enhanced empathic abilities, Flinx finesses his way into a
top-secret security installation on Earth. Once there, he bamboozles a
sophisticated AI program into releasing classified information about the
Meliorare Society, the sect of renegade eugenicists whose experiments
with human beings had horrified the civilized universe more than twenty
years ago. After all, as one of the few Meliorare experiments to
survive, Flinx has a right to know about his past. Especially since his
telepathic powers seem to be evolving. The question is, evolving into
what? The excruciating headaches afflicting Flinx with increasing
frequency make him wonder if he will be alive to find out. . . .
