The best that can be said for Trouble Magnet is that it is better than the previous one.
I've just finished the next in the series,
Patrimony. This was better than Trouble Magnet, and actually lead to some (unsurprising) new info.
Now I'm onto the last one,
Flinx Transcendent. So far it's a bit better, but it still feels as though the series has been dragged out. I suspect that the last six books could have been comfortably trimmed to two, with several adventures being dumped entirely.
But who knows — perhaps the last in the series will redeem the rest.
