From Publishers Weekly
The delightful characters and arcane world-building in Foster's latest 
Flinx novel (Flinx in Flux, etc.) should thrill the author's fans. While 
Foster's plotting lacks subtlety - most readers will be a step or three 
ahead of the characters - the ever more improbable predicaments in which 
interstellar adventurer Philip Flinx and his pet minidragon, Pip, find 
themselves prove invariably engaging. Events become especially strange 
when Flinx, fleeing a shady businessman who insists on buying Pip, explores 
an unnamed jungle world, quickly discovering that the planet's ecology 
is intensely interdependent. The few humans who long ago emigrated there 
survive by their wits and through the aid of the fascinating furcots, 
whose symbiotic relationship with the humans is, unfortunately, more 
pondered than explained. The planet and its various indigenous defenses 
prove useful to Flinx as he, Pip and several locals are pursued not 
only by the ruthless businessman but also by factions from previous 
books in the series, such as the ruthless AAnn. While the main cosmological 
discussion here - involving the possibility of a physical manifestation 
of evil - seems to exist mainly to set up a sequel, the joie de vivre 
with which Foster approaches each of Flinx's quandaries results in a 
robust space adventure.

From Booklist
The spawn of sophisticated alien bioengineering experiments, Foster's 
series hero Philip Lynx--Flinx for short--is 20 in his seventh adventure, 
and his empathic abilities and poison-spitting pet snake, Pip, continue 
to land him in trouble. Touring the planet Samstead, Flinx crosses paths 
with a bullying aristocrat who insists on acquiring Pip for his menagerie. 
Using his own precocious wits as well as Pip's deadly fighting prowess, 
Flinx narrowly escapes to the safety of his orbiting spaceship and flees 
into uncharted space. He makes a haphazard landing on an unknown world 
almost completely enveloped by luxuriant rain forest and forges a bond 
there with the human descendants of a lost expedition. He adapts to 
the marvels of his new environment until his persistent enemy catches 
up with him. The prodigiously productive Foster has honed his narrative 
style until it is so consistently absorbing that newcomers to the Flinx 
saga will search out earlier installments, and both they and seasoned 
fans will be gratified by Foster's hints of more to come. Carl Hays

Book Description
OVER THE EDGE

Where Flinx and his flying minidrag Pip went, trouble always followed--that 
law had governed their lives through years of unsought danger and galactic 
intrigue. Now an evil rich man was out to kidnap the minidrag for his 
personal zoo, and Flinx and Pip were on the run again--this time into 
uncharted space, on a random course they hoped would foil their pursuers.--

They found more than they bargained for when they landed on Midworld, 
a verdant planet covered by an immense jungle, hosting an incredible 
variety of plant and animal life--all of it unknown and all of it deadly. 
And now they were in real trouble. Their hiding place was in danger 
of discovery, and their only hope lay with this bizarre and untamed 
planet . . . if it didn't kill them first!
