Reunion

Alan Dean Foster's Flinx and Pip series has been one I've been reading for going on 40 years now, maybe longer, though I still haven't finished it completely.

This is one of my favorites, though. Flinx continues his quest to discover more about his origins including the Meliorare society and his family. At the same time, he remains on the run from various groups who are trying to hunt him down.

In this installment, Flinx travels back to old Earth and finds a “lead” that leads him on something of a wild goose chase and several different planets in another system controlled by the hostile Aan. I won't spoil the “reunion” of the title, but will say that several events from previous books are recalled. It honestly makes me want to go back and re-read the earlier books in the series.

At any rate, I thought this was a good and fun read. If you've read the earlier books in the series, you'll likely enjoy this one, too. This is just a fun space opera with interesting travels and characters.
