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. There he hoped to
find the giant man with the gold earring who somehow held the key to
Flinx's mysterious past and to the strange powers he possessed. Chasing
down his heritage was trouble enough, but Flinx didn't know what real
trouble was until he realized that the Qwarm - a deadly assassin squad -
were three steps behind him with a contract to kill. But the
minidragon's homeworld did not offer safety and Flinx had a terrible
time just staying alive ... a matter complicated to no mean degree by a
collapsar already set on an unstoppable death course across the galaxy!
