The Tar-Aiym Krang

Rating:
Summary: Space Opera at its best!
Review: This one's an old favorite of mine, but I must say I like this new cover much better than mine! Flinx is an orphan living in the slums of the planet Drallar with his venomous, flying minidrag, Pip. Flinx yearns to find out his heritage and the orgin of his strange mental powers. He stumbles across a map leading to a strange alien artifact on an abandoned world and is swept up in a grand adventure. Foster's Humanx Commonwealth and Flinx and all his companions are fascinating creations. If you like this one, try and find all Flinx's adventures, as well as the Icerigger Series. (Icerigger, Mission to Moulokin, & The Deluge Drivers)

Summary: A very good story
Review: This was Alan Dean Foster's first published book about Flinx of the Commonwealth. It was a very good story about a young man with incredible talents searching for the secrets of his mysterious talents. It is truly a very creative piece of work on Foster's part. It really set in motion one of the greatest series of SF stories ever written. I enjoyed it thoroughly!
