"Foster is a smooth writer... The series deserves its popularity."
—Analog Science Fiction and Fact

It’s a good thing Flinx is no stranger to trouble, because he’s swimming in it. After surviving an attack by a new gang of assailants, Flinx is spirited away and enlisted in a battle against an 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.

This terrifying, high-stakes adventure through perilous new realms will rocket Flinx 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.

"A refreshingly straightforward, convincingly told story with... clever maneuverings by both Flinx and his new enemy."
—Science Fiction Chronicle

"A rip-roaring space yarn... with unrelenting pacing and tension and excitement at every turn"
—Romantic Times
