Third book in the rollicking, galaxy-spanning SF adventure series that will make your imagination spin! McGill Feighan is able to "fling"-or teleport-himself or anything else as far away as he can imagine. As such, he makes a rather substantial living by flinging anything and everything, for a fee, to the far corners of the universe. His real quest, though, is to find the Far Being Retzglaran, who has meddled in his life since birth. Oh, and he's trying to avoid the dread Organization, which is trying to kill him at every turn. They've had a contract out on his life since he was four days old, but they've been unsuccessful. So far. Now McGill teams up with an Actuni plant-monk-who is not your everyday sentient cactus-as they flee the PsychSection of the Flinger Network and seek an encounter with the most ancient of all mysteries. It is a thorny dilemma indeed.

there's a vast ocean of out-of-print science fiction out there, and both fans and newcomers can be forgiven for not knowing where to start. THIS is a great place to start, this wonderful, snarky, fantastic series, lamentably aborted after only four books. McGill Feighan is a Flinger, an elite group of beings who can teleport themselves and a certain amount of cargo over vast galactic distances. O'Donnell follows his hapless young hero from his birth (and subsequent temporary ingestion by a traveling giant gastropod) to his entry to the Flinger Academy and onward through some mind-boggling adventures. Who knows if these great little books will ever come back into print, but thanks to Alibris, you can gobble them up - and you should! This is wonderful, wonderful stuff!
