In this new Pip & Flinx thriller, Alan Dean Foster displays the brilliance that has made him one of the brightest lights in science fiction. In Patrimony, fans will learn more about their favorite redheadwith emerald eyes, uncanny powers, and a poisonous minidragthan they ever dreamed possible.
I know who your father is . . . Gestalt. A shocked Flinx hears these dying words from one of the renegade eugenicists whose experiments with humans twenty-odd years ago shocked the galaxy . . . and spawned Flinx. So Flinx and his minidrag, Pip, venture to Gestalt, an out-of-the-way planet perfect for someone who never wants to be founddisregarding the advice of those who think Flinx could make better use of his time locating the ancient, sentient weapons platform that could be the galaxys only chance of stopping the exterminating scourge thats fast approaching. Flinx might agree with thembut the quest for patrimony wins out. (Sorry, galaxy!)
Could Gestalt supply the key to Flinxs shadowy past and strange powers? An eccentric loner in a remote area could be the father Flinx has never stopped searching for, perhaps the only person who can unravel the mystery of his birth and his amazing, agonizing powers. An eccentric longer in a remote area of the distant planet could be he father Flinx has never stopped searching for, perhaps the only person who can unravel the mystery of Flinxs birth and his amazing, agonizing powers.
Unfortunately for Flinx, Gestalt also hosts a resident bounty hunter whos just learned about the stupendous reward offered for a certain dead redhead. Flinx gets a chance to test his adversarys skills when our heros skimmer is blasted out of the sky and into a raging river in the middle of nowherea nowhere of impassable terrain and ravenous, carnivorous beasts.
But hey, whats one more impossible challenge for someone whos spent his life defying the odds and escaping the inescapable? Flinx has one thing going for him . . . plenty of experience.
