Description

Could even the remarkable Flinx stop the deadly drug that was sweeping the galaxy? It caused instant addiction, followed by an excruciating slow death, and there was no known antidote. It was a killer. Supposedly the drug had been totally eradicated from the humanx galaxy years before. At least that's what everyone thought. But somehow, mysteriously, that dreadful substance was back in circulation on Repler and threatening to wreak havoc throughout the known galaxy. Someone somewhere was secretly manufacturing Bloodhype, but nobody seemed to know where or who!.

In their fifth outing, Flinx and Pip, his minidrag, are late arrivals into a plot involving two Church investigators and an unsuspected being capable of absorbing the energy of all life down to the cellular level. It's as compelling as all of Foster's Flinx adventures. Lots of gangsters and AAhn

and twists and turns, only lacking in more of Flinx and Pip.

Classic sci-fi from back in the days when Del Rey publishing dominated sci-fi and fantasy, and Darrell K. Sweet illustrated every cover! In general that means good quality scifi, though nothing overly heavy or complex.

Didnt finish. I got partway through and lost interest. There's not many ADF books I can't finish but this is one.
Dull and irrelevant.
