Howling Stones

Summary: A commonwealth book in the best tradition of the series
Review: In this book, Foster returns to the imagination and style that first led me to be one of his avid readers. With the plot centering around the constant struggle of humanxkind verses the Aan and the acquisition of planetary resources, he gives us a new planet, characters and races as well as furthering our knowledge of established ones. The revelation and new information of the Hur'rikku race, sparcely discussed throughout former commonwealth novels, makes this a must read for his fans. Now if only Foster would dedicate whole novels to pre-commonwealth history and complete the Flinx saga, I would be sated.

Summary: The Howling Stones by Alan Dean Foster
Review: The premis of the book was good. At one point well into the story Foster get carried away his philosophy on good and evil which kind of drags. Otherwise this is a good story.
