Flinx Transcendent

A Pip & Flinx Adventure

By: Alan Dean Foster

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki, Alan Dean Foster

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

Great finally to a childhood favorite

This has been a great finally to a childhood favorite it’s a final wrap up of the Pip and Flinx adventure series

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.

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?
