Resumen del Editor

From one of the most brilliant imaginations in science fiction comes Flinx Transcendent, Alan Dean Foster's thrilling conclusion to the series that began over 35 years ago - the epic adventures of Flinx and his flying minidrag companion, Pip.

Flinx is the only one with even the tiniest chance of stopping the evil colossus barreling in to destroy the Humanx Commonwealth (and everything else in the Milky Way). With time running out, Flinx is a man in search of a solution and in search of himself. His efforts take him to the land of his mortal enemies, the bloodthirsty AAnn, where chances are excellent that Flinx's discovery - and summary execution - will eliminate all his demons and doubts in one masterstroke.

The way Flinx is feeling, that might not be the worst imaginable end. After years of searching for his father, he finally has - and must bear - the truth. And now he must also seek out an ancient sentient weapons platform wandering around somewhere in the galaxy and then communicate with it, a powwow that could very well fry his already frazzled brain. Then there are the oblivion-craving assassins determined to stop Flinx before he can prevent total annihilation.

With a future that rosy, it's no surprise he's flirting with disaster. Still, Flinx is no quitter, and he's got something else going for him - an uncanny ability to improvise and triumph (or at least survive) in impossible situations. He's certainly been through enough of them, and now he's going to need every ounce of that know-how, because he's venturing to places where the laws of physics fear to tread, where no one's ever been, to do what no one's ever done, and where his deadliest enemy is so close it's invisible.

BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction written and read by author Alan Dean Foster.

Flinx Transcendent (Unabridged)

I throught it was great like all Flinx's books

Absolutely Fabulous!

Flinx and Pip once again do the impossible and nearly get themselves killed in the process. The entire series was narrated by Stefan Rudnicki, and his performance was, as always, exemplary. one of the best series out there!

Flinx Transcendent

Foster just gets better and better. Pip and Flinx are a worth while read for any age.

Fun still After almost 30 years

After almost 30 years the story comes to an end.
Wow what a trip Thranx, Aann, Tar-Aiym, Bio Keys, Smart Bears, Love, Hate, disfunctional family problems, and More.... Flinx is finally presented with a way to close the book on all this.
Great Job Alan! you kept my intrest for 3 decades!
Some say this is a "Young Read" well I say it was a FUN READ...
Thanks Audible for producing this series for our enjoyment.
Well worth the credits and the listen!

Flinx finally made it to Blassisar, and the EYE!

What did you love best about Flinx Transcendent?

I think it was meeting and learnimg Humanx's most terrible enemy ( The Nye ) and finding them worthy. Certainly they're reptilian and while not quite as pleasant as the hard shelled Thranx, they do nave a lot of character.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kajim 4th born, who befriends Flinx. He's an adolescent Nye who has agreed to help Flinx, simply out of friendship!

Have you listened to any of Stefan Rudnicki and Alan Dean Foster ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Stefan realistically owns this character. It would simly not ne the same without his voice and I am sure it would not be as good. His performance is solid and as good as any that came before.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No it wasn't. It had a natural breaking point half way through , which is a nice place to take a breath before continuing.

Any additional comments?

Flinx comes full circle and gets to fight the bad guys and gets the girl! What more could you want?

Great read

Any additional comments?

This was the first book that I read in the series and I was surprised to find out that it was the last of the series. I've enjoyed it so much that I'm going back to the beginning to hear about all of Pip and Flinx's adventures that lead up to the final book.

Thats it?

So after 20 years of reading this series I was somewhat disapointed with the ending. Dont get me wrong, I liked the story but the ending seemed rushed, especially after so many titles leading up to the this one. I did like how the author utilized so much of the content from previous titles to finish. I think that someone who had not read most of the series wouldnt understand much of this one.

Entertaining

Perception of two books in one. Excellent first 12 chapters, less exciting middle part, stronger again towards the end. Clarity Held should have been a stonger character than the mostly just whining Flinx Barbie, in my opinion.

Flinx Transcendant

Another flinx and pip adventure..as usual a little long winded on details but a great story.finally into the evil we go

A series that I've followed for 26 years

I started reading about Flinx in 6th grade, 1983 I just happened to pick it up the first day it came in at the library at Humboldt Jr High and from there, I became a fast fan of Science Fiction. The last few books of the series seemed to be fillers then this. It brings the entire universe back together, loose ends are tied off and the great mysteries of the Commonwealth that are mentioned in other books are put to rest. This book is no lightweight. Good job Alan, I've been around for the long haul and I'm happy to have such a great ending to this road. Now it's time to get my son hooked on the series, thanks!
