I have vary little information about the book as this is something i read about 15-19 years ago. The story takes place in the future, the story follows one man. I think he starts out as a low thug and progresses to become the head of the organization. he apex's to enough wealth to influencing...

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...

Short story, possibly a novella that I read in the 70's but I am pretty sure it was written in the 40's-60's time frame. its a humerous story, for the most part. plot the galaxy is being invaded by a maniacal species. All the races of the galaxy are very civilized and cant fight to even...

Around 1979 I came across a book about a space traveler from earth, who crashes on a planet peopled by green humans, who have six legged bear type animals as companions, life long. He befriends a boy, who dies, but is reborn from a tree like plant, into which the others put his body. His six...

So, I am sitting up late at night, and all of a sudden am thinking back to a SF novel I read that I really liked, but I can't remember what it's called. All I remember was that the main character was captured from Earth by alien exotic pet traders. He then precedes to travel the galaxy after...

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...

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...

In this, chronologically the 3rd story featuring Pip and Flinx, our young red-headed vagabond, accompanied by his tenacious and deadly mini dragon, sets out on a journey to discover his roots. Pip, unsure of his parental origins, seeks to discover who and where his real parents are. His...

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...

hi, looking for a book for my boss, it was written pre 1977 and it's about a telepathic bear, this is all I know about it??? please help :)

I am trying to find the title and author of a sci-fi novel I read a few years ago. The book is divided into different times, from the time of the first alien/human encounter, up to a future some several 100 years ahead. The basic plot is that an alien race comes to Earth in search of suitable...

Hi Everyone Read a series about a guy who was on his yacht and was boarded by cat like aliens. he reacted and swiped his arm and broke one of their arms with no trouble. Wound up fighting for them and also other humans too. Does anyone know who the author is or what the series is. Just...

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...

Many years ago I read a 2 book series about a space traveler marroned on a planet covered with ice. The inhabitants were cat-like with claws that evolved to runners like ice skate runners. The had a flap of skin that acted as a sail when they raised their arms called "dan". They traveled on...

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...

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...

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...
