Advantages: GREAT AUTHOR Disadvantages: SO MUCH TO READ !
The following information has been garnered from blurbs and includes my own very personal views on some of Alans books, read on Mcduff?.,
Alandeanfoster was born in New York city in 1946 and was raised in Los Angeles. After receiving a bachelor's degree in political science and a master of fine arts in cinema from ucla (1968, l969) he spent two years as a copywriter for a small studio city, California.
His writing career began when August Derleth bought a long Lovecraftian letter of Alans in 1968 and much to Alans surprise, published it as a short story in Derleth's bi-annual magazine "the Arkham Collector". Sales of short fiction to other magazines followed.
His first attempt at a novel, the Tar-Aiym Krang, (has spawned a popular series of Pip and Flinx adventure sequels, at the time of writing this, 13 Pip and Flinx novels ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Alan Dean Foster
Advantages: A BOOK ! Disadvantages: Dont put it down, you won't pick it up again.
Sagramanda is the name of the city, containing a population of 100 million people. The main character is Taneer, a scientist, who goes on the run with his employer's secret project code.
Foster as usual has a cast of characters; Dephali would die for Taneer, whereas his own father would like to kill him. Chalcedony works for the company and would rather not kill Taneer if it could be avoided. There is also Jena, a serial killer, Sanjay a 'fence', and a troubled chief inspector.
This is apparently classed as a 'techno-thriller' but without the 'thriller'.
I have read many, many Alandeanfoster books and to be honest this is not one of his best, it is along the same lines of the 'Mocking program'.
I have read all the pip and flinx novels, the commenwealth trilogy, the ice rigger trilogy, drowning world, mocking program, howling stones ...
Advantages: REAL PAGE TURNER Disadvantages: PART OF A SERIES (NOT THAT IT MATTERS)
creatures, which proves helpful in avoiding the hellish jungles attempts to kill everyone and everything.
Meanwhile the local villain has followed flinx and is now tracking him through the jungle.
Unbeknown to both parties the Ann are also planetside wanting to get there hands on flinxs ship.
The flaura and fauna are very sly, lethal and hungry. And they don't care who they eat.
The book is a real page turner, a stand alone adventure although it is part of the pip and flinx series. (BOOK 7)
The dialogue, plot speed and characters are well thought out, one of Alans better books.
This book reminded me of 'Hothouse' by Brian Aldiss. Not as odd but in a similar vain. ...
