In this dazzling novel, Flinx confirms his status as the galaxy's greatest magnet for big trouble.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Wandering out there in some remote region of the galaxy is a gargantuan sentient Tar-Aiym weapons' system. All Flinx has to do--while his pals look after his injured love Clarity Held--is find the hefty object and persuade it to knock out the monstrous evil that is hurtling through space to waste the entire Commonwealth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A no-brainer, really, especially for Flinx, who is never without his loyal entourage of official snoops, crazed zealots, assorted goons, and the occasional assassin. Indeed, the boy wonder and his mini-drag, Pip, are eager to commence their heroic task . . . just as soon as Flinx visits Visaria--a dangerously depraved planet--to convince himself that humans are indeed worth saving. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The chances of stumbling across high moral values and utopian ideals don't look promising-what with Flinx playing a lawless Pied Piper to a gang of lying, thieving juvenile delinquents. But prospects really go south when Flinx runs afoul of the corrupt planet's ruthless crime king.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eStill, life is full of surprises, and Flinx is about to get smacked by a passel of them--by turns devastating, heartening, and positively jaw-dropping. For although Flinx came to Visaria to plumb the enigma of humankind, there's another mystery waiting here, a shocking clue about his own shadowy past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Dean Foster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 034548505X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780345485052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Del Rey Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.20w x 0.81d","brand":"Alan Dean Foster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992957419775,"sku":"9780345485052","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28e026c2-b772-41e8-b268-c75fdd0539f1.jpg?v=1683321739","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trouble-magnet-alan-dean-foster-9780345485052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
