This 1996 entry in the popular science fiction "Flinx" series is non-stop action space-adventure from first page to last. Flinx, the product of illegal genetic experiments, who grew up an orphan on the streets, has the useful but stressful and uncontrollable ability to read emotions in those around him.
As the story opens, Flinx, 20 and the owner of an interstellar space craft with a unique drive, is at loose ends, looking for peace and quiet on a backwater world. But the local bully takes a shine to Flinx's longtime companion, an empathic and poisonous flying snake, or minidrag, and insists on buying it.
When the situation becomes life-threatening, Flinx and his snake, Pip, flee the planet, instructing the space ship to fly into random uncharted space. The ship takes them to a supposedly undiscovered planet, covered with jungle a mile thick. Flinx exits his lander - and is nearly killed by a huge, transparent flying creature.
But something draws him on to explore this lush and beautiful world where the flowers have hidden teeth and even the water may reach up and grab you. For the first time in years, his headaches are gone. Risking death with every cautious step, he is finally rescued from a most ingenious botanical predator by a band of humans - descendants of a lost colony ship long forgotten.
These humans have companions, not pets, but apparently native creatures whose lives are bound inextricably (unto death) with their particular human. And they and the humans have some sort of peculiar empathic relationship with the planet.
Meanwhile, Flinx's enemies are hot on his trail -- no sooner is one set apparently neutralized than another appears.
Foster has a lot of fun with the creation of this life-teeming world. Everything has a function and a place in the planetary, evolutionary scheme of things. And it appears this strange and marvelously dangerous place has some importance in the destiny that draws Flinx through this series. Readers will hope so anyway as Foster's latest creation offers an endless source of thrills and surprise.
