This is a good writer, but I found it a bit to wordy for me. I bought this for light entertainment, but found myself not knowing more words than expected so lost some of the story to trying to understand what he was saying.
Like watching lost in space as a kid, no redeeming qualities, it definitely made me forget my problems and allowed me to step outside of myself for a moment in time.
One of my favorite authors. This is the classic book on the series. Not the first in the story chronologically but where I would recommend to start. Read every book in the series multiple times except for the last one published which I am working on now.
The Tar-Aiym Krang is the first in the Flinx of the Commonwealth series sending the young Flinx to the planet Moth an outpost for various assorted unscrupulous chatacters. Flinx takes a Star Map from a dead body not wondering why the body was dead so begins the first of many adventures for Flinx with the flying snake Pip at his side. Even though Tar-Aiym was the first book written, the fifth book, "For Love of Mother Not" is a prequal to the series so I started with it. This series is written by Alan Dean Foster who is one of my favorite writers, it is an easy read and quite intersting. I'm looking forward to starting the next book in the series as Pip and Flinx are interesting and fun characters.
Pip and Flinx are constant. Otherwise author Foster has the fascinating ability to expand "his universe" with new ideas, new peoples, new creature and new threats. I am captivated and entertained. He also weaves thoughtful problem solving in without being preachy or condescending. His character grows. Thanks, Alan Dean Foster
I got this book because I got another in the series for free on my quite a while ago, so I wanted to start from the beginning. It was a very interesting fantasy/science fiction mix with a touch of futuristic allure. Pip and Flinx are very interesting characters. I think most people who like either fantasy or science fiction or both would enjoy this book. I have one warning for people who read this series. The book order for this series is in the wrong order if you want to read the books in the order in which they were published. The correct order can be found at, and I hope this is ok to put in the review, the Fantastic Fiction website at [..] I have alerted to the series order problem twice, but I haven't gotten a response as of yet as I write this. I hope everyone who does either sample or buy this book does enjoy it.
I have read three in this series and have great affection for the redheaded boy and his minidrag. The adventure in the 1st book of this series reminded me of Stargate, Rendezvous with Rama and Forbidden Planet; entering into an ancient structure too big and vast to fathom what it could have been built for many millennia before let alone how. The merry band of travelers each carried their own merits and faults but I still found them to be people worth knowing. I however still find I wish to follow Flinx and Pip to see how their bond develops, getting into boundless mischief, no doubt.
