Classic ADF, although for me, not as good as his Icerigger books set in this universe. I've only read one other Pip and Flinx book so it's really weird they just wander past in the background.

His writing of the female agent is, uh, not aging well. I forget her name but she's basically Barbarella.

Also having not read a cheap old paperback for a while, it's nice to see typos and misprints in a real book instead of just on the Kindle.
