Bloodhype

A Pip and Flinx Adventure

By: Alan Dean Foster

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki, Alan Dean Foster

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!

BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction written and read by author Alan Dean Foster.

Great Story, Lousy Narrator

The Pip and Flinx series is wonderful, and I was looking forward to revisiting my favorites in audio, but Stefan Rudnicki is absolutely the wrong narrator for these books. Bloodhype is my favorite novel in the series, definitely worth five stars, but the deep, stilted narration kept me from listening past chapter one. Since Rudnicki narrates the whole series, I will not be wasting any more credits. It's too bad that Alan Dean Foster's fantastic characters and writing are ruined in the audiobooks.

great book

another great book in the series. can't wait to read some more in the series

Flynx

always an enjoyable read of the introduction of Flynx. I wish to hear more of Kitten and Paws

Fantastic Listen!

Would you consider the audio edition of Bloodhype to be better than the print version?

I love listening to a good book. However, I also own the paperbacks as well and love to read them when I have time. Over and over again.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kitten because she was daring and adventurous.

What about Stefan Rudnicki and Alan Dean Foster ’s performance did you like?

He gave the characters life with the different voices.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I listened to the entire book one night at work.

Fun book, but not much Pip and Flinx

Great narrator as always. Female lead character was a bit annoying. Interesting ending. A fun little side journey in the series, but wish they had focused a bit more on Pip and Flinx.

Old School Space Opera

I read this book when it first came out in the 70s. While I did remember a few piece’s of it, it was interesting to see how little of it I had retained. The story was a good/short space opera. Highly recommended.

An intriguing, if convoluted tale

This is a very nice entry in the Pip & Flinx series. The characters are colorful and the story, though quite convoluted, is satisfying.

another favorite

Any additional comments?

I love Alan Dean Foster's writing style. Its hard to go wrong with his stories.

The Second Book Written But weak on Pip and Flinx

A Great Story but more about the Police than Pip and Flinx. This was the second book written to include Pip and Flinx. I did enjoy the description of the Tar-Aiym in this book.
Good read for a stand alone story.

Humerous

I long time fan of the Pip and Flinx Adventures, I was delighted to see that audible would add the entire series. What was even better is that that would retain continuity by having Stefan Rudnicki read the entire series. I enjoyed this book in particular, as it is less serious than the others and has a definite homorous slant to it. A relaxing enjoyable adventure.
