From bestselling author Alan Dean Foster comes a fantastic Pip and
Flinx adventure starring a certain twenty-four-year-old redhead with
emerald eyes and uncanny abilities and his devoted mini-dragon
protector. 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. His mission: to take a
vacation.
Never have the cares of the universe lain so heavily on Flinx's
shoulders, nor the forces arrayed against him seemed so invincible.
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.
There's only one solution for what ails Flinx, according to his ship's
AI. 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.
Yet even in a place where hardly anyone's ever seen a human, Flinx and
trouble can't stay separated for long. Unfortunately, Flinx hasn't a
clue that his vacation paradise is in reality a danger zone of the
highest magnitude. And by the time he learns the truth, it may be too
late.
