5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Read, February 20, 2000

By	Craig Carey (Sparta, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

I just finished re-reading the book again for the umpteenth time. As always it was a great read, I really enjoy the Flinx series in the common wealth. Flinx is such an interesting character to watch develop. Just a note as to the comments below that the author is not going to be writing any more Flinx novels, that is untrue. Another one will be out latter this year(2000), or early next (It is titled Reunion).

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked Clarity, September 25, 1999

By A Customer

Flinx is 19 and about to fall in love. While on Alispan, releasing Pip's children he see's a beautiful woman washed up along a rivers edge. When she wakes up he finds out that her name is Clarity Held and a group of fanatic tree huggers are trying to distroy the business she works for. She is a gengeneer (genetic engineers) who makes plants and fungus, etc. into marketable things. Flinx decides to help Clarity, whom he has fallen in love with. Unfortuntly he tells her, as an explination of why he can't be with her, that he is an experiment from the Melioraire Society and has an unpridictable sixth sense. Clarity's boss finds out and kidnaps him and wishes to exploit his talent. Sadly enough Flinx and Clarity never truly get together. That really riled me. Finally I'd like to tell a previous reviewer that Foster is not cutting off the Pip and Flinx series, he still hasn't answered all the questions that keep his fans coming back. Eli@

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the most polished Flinx book, October 19, 2001

By	Adam Missner (Roswell, GA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Finx in Flux is probably the most polished Flinx book. Clearly Foster learned a little more about writing between this one and the last (The End of the Matter). This is another direct sequel in which we find Flinx rescueing a beautiful gengineer (genetic engineer) who is under assault by eco-terrorists. The character development in Flinx in Flux is much richer than the other Flinx books, but what really set this one apart (for me) was the dramatic conclusion where Flinx learns of the existence of a great malevelolence, perhaps great enough to destroy the entire universe. Sadly, that is no delved into very deeply, instead leaving that open for another novel.
