There are many pieces of a busy universe here, and with several of them the reader gets too little to do anything with, but ultimately they add to the sense of the setting. The plot is a bit all over the place, and the finale seems to come and go much too quickly, but overall the book is enjoyable and has some interesting ideas. ( ) This is the first in a short series by ADF. Read it when I was in high school. Saw it on the shelf and gave it another read. Only slightly campy w this being the first in the short series introducing his universe and his main characters, the telepath Flinx and his flying poisonous snake. Written in the early 70's he had a good handle on technology and was good w metaphor and symmetry. Foster, Alan Dean. The Tar-Aiym Krang. 1972. Pip and Flinx No. 2 (Chronologically). Gateway, 2012. The Tar-Aiym Krang is the second of the Pip and Flinx books chronologically but the first to be published. It sets up most of the dynamic for the series. Flinx is an orphan who has paranormal abilities that are enhanced by his pet miniature dragon Pip. He meets a human and a Thranx team who engage him to find a powerful alien artifact. There are, of course, some baddies who aim to spoil the party. It is a straight-up, fast-paced space adventure. Foster reveals early in his career what a good storyteller he is. 4 stars. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Moth was a beautiful planet, the only one with wings -- two great golden clouds suspended in space around it.@@Here was a wide-open world for any venture a man might scheme. The planet attracted unwary travelers, hardened space-sailors, and merchant buccaneers -- a teeming, constantly shifting horde that provided a comfortable income for certain quick-witted fellows like Flinx and his pet flying snake Pip. With his odd talents, the pickings were easy enough so that Flinx did not have to be dishonest ... most of the time.@@In fact, it hardly seemed dishonest at all to steal a starmap from a dead body that didn't really need it anymore. But Flinx wasn't quite smart enough. He should have wondered why the body was dead in the first place... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
