And so onto the next Pip and Flinx novel in which our young telepath and his pernicious pet seek out Flinx's father. It seems odd that this one was published in 1977, the same date as the previous book in the series. Oh well.
Anyway Flinx hears of the discovery of a rogue black hole that threatens a sector of space and his search takes him to Alaspin which is the home planet of Pip who goes off on a sabbatical for a while... This time Flinx is joined by a strange blue alien called Ab who seems to speak gibberish yet may hold a clue to stopping the rogue star. If he can be understood. While on Alaspin Flinx encounters a large friendly giant and his female companion. This giant is none other than Skua September, one of the main characters in the Icerigger trilogy of books! He also bumps into Truzenzuzex and Bran Tse-Mallory, first seen in The Tar Aiym Krang, Foster's first novel! Another fun romp across space-

Foster never fails to deliver!
