I love Flinx ... but Pip is a dream pet!

Pip likes salt, and when Flinx is in the credit, he buys a big bowl of giant pretzels ... Pip gets in the bowl and rolls around in them, eating. I love that image!

Check out his other stuff, too, especially the books featuring September Skua ... they are an offshoot of the Flinx books. Also check out Montezuma Strip and The Mocking Program ... police procedurals set in the future, with harder science than J. D. Robb's Death series.

Did Da Bear recommend the Peter Hamilton books?

Ok, will do!

I've seen some books by Peter Hamilton but never picked them up ... "The Neutronium Alchemist", right? It had an interesting title. Flinx and Pip are a lot of fun right now, I'll certainly look for his other stuff. Actually I hope to get to the used bookstore soon...
