Review Summaries
"Book 5 of Flinx and Pip. Boodhype is back. It is the most deadly, addictive drug ever. It was thought to be completely erradicated. Someone has found a way to make it. The Commonwealth needs to find out who and where and stop it. Also the Vom has escaped to Repler. Can Flinx, with the help of a Tar-Aiym and the Guardian stop the Vom?"
Ed Phillips, Resident Alan Dean Foster Scholar
