Pip and Flinx Book Thirteen.
"I know who your father is . . . Gestalt."
A stunned 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 that may supply the key to Flinx's shadowy past and strange powers.
Unfortunately for Flinx, Gestalt also hosts a resident bounty hunter who's just learned about the stupendous reward offered for a certain dead redhead. Flinx gets a chance to test his adversary's skills when our hero's skimmer is blasted out of the sky and into a raging river in the middle of nowhere - a nowhere of impassable terrain and ravenous, carnivorous beasts.

Better dialogue than some of his previous work. The Tlel are interesting. Again there is a villain who will doubtless be neutralized. Again he gets lost on an alien world, looking for "answers." He actually gets some this time. He finds them startling and existentially dark. Well. At least the "who is my absentee father" storyline is finally wrapped up. Now he knows "who he is," or whatever.I'll never understand why anyone cares to look to someone who was never in their life to get such questions answered, but so many people are like this that I can't fault Flinx for doing likewise.
Worth reading if you want to follow the series to completion. If you're new, start at For The Love Of Mother-Not and read through in sequence.
By the way, Bloodhype happens AFTER Running from the Deity. Several "Flinx reading order" lists get this wrong, but it's perfectly obvious if you read the books.

Patrimony Gateway Essentials eBook Alan Dean Foster Reviews
I really enjoyed this Pip and Flinx story. It is a side story of sorts, but it also has something to do with some answers he has been looking for since early on in the series, so in that sense he does achieve closure of a sort. Others have already given plot synopsis so I will not go into that here. The story could have used a bit more depth in some areas, however I thought it was great. I can't wait to read the last one in the series now.
This entire series is a Must have to any collector of Space Opera or Serial Science Fiction... I have the entire series and re read them every so often
I have never found a book by Mr. Foster that I did not like. This caught my imagination years ago and I was thrilled to see it in e-form. I read a kindle now and miss my old favorites. For anyone who has not read this series I suggest you start right away, you won't be sorry.
I think this was the bst of the series for me, but it was also the saddest one. Anyone who enjoyed the other books in the series should get this one also. There are no chapter demarcations in this book either, but by this point, that's no surprise anymore. The things you find out in this book are part pitiful, part satisfying, and part very sad. All that I can really hope is that the author allows Pip and Flinx to be happy in the last novel, which I can't wait to start. The character really deserves it. I won't bother boring anyone who reads my review by writing a summary of the book here because there are other reviewers who are fond of doing that. All my other comments for this series I will reserve for my review of the final book. I think they'll be more appropriate there.
I have several Pip and Flinx stories and novels, and I don't recall them being this slow. I couldn't finish this - just totally stalled after a couple of attempts - and will come back to it later when I have more time and patience. I just don't remember the incredible lengths of exposition that add nothing to the action. If I manage to read this in its entirety on my next try, I will come back and amend this review.
The truth about his Father is finally revealed. Flinx is not happy with the results of a search which has consumed 13 books. I am truly looking forward to Flinx finally looking for the means to stop the great Evil which consumes universes. He has been boxing himself into a corner with his concern over who his parents were instead of who he actually is. As if his worth was dependent on them. Also his other obsession with are other people worth saving feeds back into what is a person worth. Can anyone person have the right to pass Judgement on another let alone numerous species.
Another great A.D. Foster book in the Flinx & Pip series. I have been reading this series since it began, maybe 20 or so years ago. I am now 66 yrs and I still enjoy the character Philip Linx and his ever present min-dragon Pip and their travels and adventures.Even though I think the series is written with the teen, preteen and young adult in mind I still enjoy this series and all of Alan Dean Foster's works. Flinx finds about his origins and the father that he has been searching for in previous books. The truth is a little dark but not so dark as to crush the hopes of any young reader. Flinx is the ever optimistic person and nothing gets him down for long, he always bounces back.
