I really enjoy Alan Dean Foster and am shocked to realize I
have not read one of his books since 2011.
This book does not have the same tongue in cheek aspect that
was prevalent in the last Pip and Flinx book.
Flinx has become practically sedentary and was bored. An old friend asked him to look into an
illegal broach of a planet that is not yet a member of the Commonwealth. The broach seems to be by a single profiteer
using proscribed technology with the natives.
Flinx is asked to clandestinely look into the problem.
The natives are seal like and communicate via
singspeech. The singspeech becomes a
bit tedious and is the most annoying factor of the book.
Flinx is forced to use his brain rather than his empathic
talents to succeed in his goal.
I recommend the book.
Body of work of <a type="amzn"> Alan Dean
Foster </a>
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
