"In this new Pip & Flinx thriller, Alan Dean Foster displays the brilliance that has made him one of the brightest lights in science fiction. In Patrimony, fans will learn more about their favorite redhead - with emerald eyes, uncanny powers, and a poisonous minidrag - than they ever dreamed possible."

That paragraph is the biggest lie you'll ever read, well, almost anyway.

This series just gets worse and worse. The un-dynamic duo heads off to another world in search of his father. Has adventures and revelations.

And pretty pathetic adventures and revelations too. Foster should be ashamed of writing this complete pablum. It cashes in on the past, good, writing about Pip and Flinx but does nothing for the present. This is a cash-cow franchise now, sadly. If you have stuck with this series, it didn't get any better with this novel.
