The Journeys of McGill Feighan #3

by Kevin O'Donnell Jr.

McGill Feighan was not your average 22-year-old Terran. He made his rather substantial living flinging to the far corners of the universe. He devoted his life to a so-far frustrated quest for the Far Being Retzglaran. And an interstellar crime syndicate known as The Organization had put out a contract on him when he was four days old.. All of which only partially explains why McGill finds himself teamed up with an Actuni plant-monk, fleeing the Flinger Network, PsychSection, and seeking an encounter with the most ancient of all mysteries.

Love this series (about teleporters for hire). Just wish it had a conclusion. I emailed the author about it once, and he was surprised that someone was still hanging on years later. Well, you know, I'm STILL waiting, and probably will until you drop over dead, Kevin.

Well, I did get to the end, which always means that the book has something going for it. But I can't say that I really enjoyed every minute of it or would rush out to read more adventures of McGill. Weird I can cope with, but somehow the story just seemed overly complicated, with lots happening that had little to do with the main plot. I also started to get really frustrated with our hero - he might only be in his 20's, but maybe a little more care of his young ward is in order! I definitely wanted to shake some sense into him on more than one occasion.

Vaguely entertaining but not something that wowed.

Love this series, must reread it soon.

Now re-reading...so sad about his room-mate. Weird water world.
