Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Plagued by doubts about his quest to find the ancient alien weapon that will one day save civilization from the destruction of the Great Emptiness, adventurer Flinx—along with his empathic mini-dragon Pip—take a detour to the criminal-run planet of Visaria in the 12th fast-paced novel (after 2005's Running from the Deity) of Foster's space opera series. There, Flinx rescues Subar, a teenage gang member, who makes the mistake of trying to mug some insectoid aliens. Not much wiser, Subar and his cohorts later rob a valuable Terran antique shipment from a warehouse. This puts local crime lords on Subar's trail—and once more brings Flinx and Pip to the rescue. Over the course of their adventures, Subar nearly loses his life to save his girlfriend, Ashile, and Flinx only survives thanks to last-minute intervention by some old comrades, aliens from another dimension. This deus ex machina resolution renews Flinx's conviction about his greater role as civilization's savior and reassures the fans that the series will go on. (Nov.)

From Booklist
Flinx's new mission seems simple enough: find a weapon that will destroy the evil threatening the Commonwealth. En route, however, he starts doubting the value of sacrificing his happiness to save the universe. He detours to ill-reputed Visaria, where he plans only to observe the populace and decide whether to complete the mission instead of just returning to the woman he loves. He becomes entangled with a thief who reminds him of a younger him, and he receives another tantalizing clue to his past. Regina Schroeder
