Series: Pip and Flinx

Bestselling author Alan Dean Foster delivers a

Pip and Flinx novel featuring a certain twenty-four-year-old with red hair, growing

powers, and a loyal sidekick who just happens to be a flying mini-dragon.

Flinx's Folly follows Flinx on a thrilling

quest to unravel the mysteries of his mind and body.

It is a quest that forces him

to confront a horror almost beyond human comprehension concealed somewhere in the

universe . . . and coming closer.

It's a good thing Flinx is no stranger to trouble,

because he's swimming in it. Even before the latest murderous attack by a new gang

of assailants, there seems no end to people determined to arrest, examine, or kill

him. To add insult to all that injury, Flinx has been spirited away and enlisted

in a battle against a monstrous extra-galactic threat.

Hidden behind the Great Emptiness,

in a place where it seems matter and energy have never been, there is only evil.

Pure evil that is approaching him, accelerating.

Against such a quintessence of

colossal evil what can one puny human and a formidable mini-drag protector do? Flinx

must tell someone or go out of his already addled mind. Choosing a confidant is easy-

Clarity Held, a crush he hasn't seen in six years.

She is a young woman who has

clearly gone on with her life in ways that (he soon learns) don't necessarily include

Flinx.

Whatever happens, Flinx makes up his mind to act quickly. His decision is

the beginning of a terrifying, high-stakes adventure through perilous new realms

that will rocket him into the very heart of danger-and into the arms of the only

woman he's ever loved. As he and Pip bravely travel to a place where no man or mini-drag

has gone before, Flinx discovers he has a few more friends than he thought-and far

more enemies than he ever imagined.
