Review Summaries
"Book 2 of Pip and Flinx. Flinx now makes a living as a street performer. When he stumbles on a murder and gets a star map, the adventure begins. He is hired by two people to be a guide and ends up at the house of a very wealthly man, only to find that the two people were looking for the map and want Malaika to bankrole an expedition to the world shown on the map. What they expect to find is artifacts of a dead race, not a powerful weapon."
