    Star Trek Log One by Alan Dean Foster (1974)

    I decided to read this book that belongs to my partner. We're both Trek fans and she's had a couple of these logs on her shelf for years. Theyre written by Alan Dean Foster and based on the animated series from the 70's.( Some of those episodes were penned by Larry Niven no less...) There are...

    The End of the Matter by Alan Dean Foster (1977)

    And so onto the next Pip and Flinx novel in which our young telepath and his pernicious pet seek out Flinx's father. It seems odd that this one was published in 1977, the same date as the previous book in the series. Oh well. Anyway Flinx hears of the discovery of a rogue black hole that...

    Alan Dean Foster

    Anyone else (in addition to AE35Unit) who is an ADF fan? I just read Nor Crystal Tears , which I really enjoyed. It's a nice first contact book, told from the perspective of the alien thranx. Foster clearly had a lot of fun describing humans from the alien point if view. I've now started his...

    The Tar Aiym Krang by Alan Dean Foster (1973)

    This is Alan Dean Foster's first novel and chronologically the second Pip and Flinx book. I found it ok, not as compelling as For Love of Mother Not which was written in the 80s (that book is an introduction to the character Flinx and his minidrag Pip.) This book, though having its good...

    Alan Dean Foster

    Any readers of him here?. Several years ago my dad gave me one of his books, a tatty 20p library sale job and it was already quite old at the time. Recently I picked it up and read it, the book being Mid-Flinx part of a 14 odd long series based around the main character Flinx and his various...

    (Found) Looking for a sci-fi series called the Commonwealth (not Peter F. Hamiltons)

    I keep forgetting this authors name, but he/she writes well. I belive the series is called the "Commonwealth" and no I do not mean Peter F Hamilton's series. Each book has the words written on it "A Commonwealth Novel" or something to that effect. Every so often I stumble upon one of these...

    For Love of Mother-not by Alan Dean Foster (1983)

    Just finished For Love of Mother-not, the prelude to the Pip and Flinx/Commonwealth books by Alan Dean Foster which was written in the early 80s. Foster's first novel, The Tar-Aiym Krang, was written in 1972, and is very much a hard SF space opera type romp. He later expanded the universe it is...

    (Found) Book Search - Crystal Spiders

    I've been looking for one for some time. I broke my leg when I was in 8th grade and spent the whole summer reading my dad's library. He had this one book that seemed to be sold in halves, where one story was on one side of the book and you flipped it over and read in the opposite direction...

    ....on a heavily forested and somewhat hostile world. The survivors adapt to life high in the treetops, evolve over many many years and eventually another ship arrives and/or crashes..... Hopefully a fairly accurate summary based on my hazy recollections of a novel read in the mid 80's...
