Strange Music

With perhaps the best opening sentence that I've read in quite a while (“There's a whale here to see you.”), this book was a worthy successor to the very enjoyable “Pip and Flinx” series, which up to this book had been thought to have been satisfactorily concluded. Happily, this apparently is not so. Foster brings another strange world and quite a few twists to our hero's seemingly simple quest, and keeps true to the character(s) so nicely developed previously while introducing intriguing new characters and cultures. A must-read for fans of Pip and Flinx, and recommended for everyone else.
