Author: Alan Dean Foster
Completed: 12/7/09
This book is the 10th in the Pip and Flinx series, and supposedly the last according to the author. We see our protagonists traveling the universe trying to everything in it from mass destruction. Along the way, we see the usual cast of characters that help him along, but also some new friends. Likewise for enemies.
I found that the story during the first 150 pages, while good, really didn't have much to do with the rest of the book. It was a very interesting thriller of a story, but did not fit in to the rest of the book until the last 5 pages or so.
Foster does a very good job incorporating pieces from every book in the series into this volume. In a way, it was a really nice summing-up of the series, and it even brought in parts of the Pip and Flinx universe addressed in other books outside of the series itself. However, Foster admits on his website that he leaves things open at the end. I have a feeling that, with the way it ended, we may see these characters again.
10 words or less: Will this really be the end?
