633.0. "Flinx in Flux" by KACIE::SANDER (No CLD's please) Thu Jun 16 1988 19:33

        Alan Dean Foster fans.. There's a new Pip and Flinx novel out.
        I just got it (still reading it). It is called "Flinx in Flux"
        and it occurs after the events in Bloodhype (6 months after Pip has
        her babies).

633.1So is it any good?SNDCSL::SMITHWilliam P.N. (WOOKIE::) SmithFri Jun 17 1988 01:591
    
633.2Yes.....SCOMAN::BOURGAULTWed Jun 22 1988 03:1819
    
    Personal opinion: it's not quite up to the other Flinx stories,
    but it's still worth reading.  
    
    No spoilers, BUT.... base note said this occurs AFTER events in
    Bloodhype.  There is a "time line" (chronology?) in the back of
    the book that lists the Bloodhype events as two (2) years
    AFTER the events in Flux.  I just bought the book this morning,
    finished it just before coming to (midnight) work.  I haven't
    dragged out my copy of Bloodhype to confirm, but didn't the
    final scene have an inebriated Porsupah (sp?) watching Flinx
    climb into his ship, with a hairy Ujurrian in the doorway to
    greet him?  If so, this would agree with events in Flux, that
    Bloodhype happened AFTER Flux did.  
    
    Or am I already punchy, and it's ONLY a little after 0200??

633.3I was wrong.KACIE::SANDERNo CLD's pleaseFri Jun 24 1988 11:598
        You are correct. I was thinking that END OF THE MATTER was
        the last book. What I meant to say is that it takes place after
        Pip has her babies.
        
        No spoiler but I sort of liked it. I hope he continues with
        Pip and Flinx or at least the HUMANX stories. The timeline
        was interesting and ties a lot of things together.

    Just a mention here about another fine work of his," Sentenced To
    Prism "    I found this to be just as good as the Flix series.
    I  also hope he continues to write the Flix series. With a little
    luck we won't have to wait as long for the next one.

633.6Help Required...ARRODS::WHITAKERThe man from HullThu Feb 10 1994 08:1016
    
    	Hi,
    	   I'm told that theres a Flinx book "Tears of Mother Not" which
    	for one reason or another is not available in the UK. Is there a
    	kind hearted American who is willing to send a couple of these
    	books over to me ? I'll gladly send over a money order for the
    	books and postage.
    
    	Please send mail to ARRODS::WHITAKER or Andy Whitaker @HHL
    
    	Regards,
    
    	Andy Whitaker
    
    	P.S. I need two as my friend is also missing this one from his
    	collection.

    Andy,
    
    		I have ordered American books through 
    
    		Compendium, 
    		High Street Camden,
    
                081-485-8944
                                                              
    
    You will probably need the isbn of the book you require. They normally
    order books free of charge.
