Unlikely duo Pip and Flinx return to right another wrong in this
all-new sci-fi adventure from one of the genre's living legends.
Fans of fun, fast-paced, imaginative science fiction adventure, rejoice!
#1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Dean Foster returns to his
much-loved Commonwealth series with a new novel starring the
indefatigable Flinx and his venomous minidrag, Pip. Facing danger and
doing good is their business . . . provided the price is right.
The unexpected return of an old friend draws Flinx and Pip to the
backward planet of Largess, whose seal-like denizens' primitive
technology and fractious clan politics have kept a wary Commonwealth
from a profitable trade relationship. But now a rogue human employing
forbidden advanced weaponry threatens to ignite a war among the Larians.
And Flinx is just the man to stop it before it starts.
But once on Largess, Flinx discovers that his empathic
abilities--usually his greatest asset--are rendered useless by the
natives' unique language, which is sung rather than spoken. Worse, the
abduction of a powerful chieftain's daughter has raised tensions to the
boiling point. Now Flinx must depend on his own mettle--and of course
Pip, the devoted minidrag with the deadly edge--to right wrongs, mend
fences, and battle a cold-blooded adversary armed with enough firepower
to blow them all away . . . and destroy the chance for peace in Largess
forever.
