Product Description

Product Description

One man in the Universe holds the key to the mystery of Flinx’s past–and that man is trying to kill him!

It is a strange childhood for a kid, to be adopted by the restless Mother Mastiff and raised in the bustling marketplace of Drallar. Flinx never knew the mom and dad who abandoned him years ago. In fact, his birth has always been shrouded in mystery. But Flinx eventually discovers that his unknown parents have left him a curious legacy–extraordinary mental powers that are both a marvelous gift and a dreaded curse.

This double-edged legacy will lead Flinx, along with his loyal protector, the mini-dragon Pip, on a harrowing journey in search of the truth . . . about who he is and where he comes from. It is a daring adventure that brings him to another world–and into the clutches of one of the most evil and powerful men in the galaxy. . . .

Orphan Star is the newest addition to the Del Rey Imagine program, which offers the best in fantasy and science fiction for readers twelve and up.


Ingram

Flinx's extraordinary powers lead him into the clutches of one of the most depraved men in the galaxy, the only one who knows the truth behind his mysterious origins. By the author of Mid-Flinx. Reissue. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Orphan Star is a worthly sequel to The Tar-Aiym Krang, Sep 22 2001
By Adam Missner (Roswell, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Orphan Star (Mass Market Paperback)
Orhan Star is the sequel to The Tar-Aiym Krang. We find Flinx, no longer a poor orphan, chasing a merchant to Hivehom and Terra in search of information about his parentage. His chase leads him to Ulru-Ujurr, a planet under Edict from the United Church, ostentisbly because it contains a highly intelligent telepathic race. There, with some typical Foster excitement, a battle is fought and won. Orphan Star is a little slow in the middle, but the exciting and illuminating ending makes up for it. Foster's new aliens are very interesting and would make a good study for a novel on their own.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has 2 things going for it..., Dec 26 1999
By S James S Stapleton (Galloway, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Orphan Star (Mass Market Paperback)
1) Alan Dean Foster is the author. 2) Flinx and Pip, need I say more? anyway, this is another great book in the Flinx and Pip series. I recommend this book to all. I can't really give a synapsis, it's been too long since I've read it (I'm gonna buy a copy because I borrowed it from the library, and want my own copy). This entire series is probably one of my favorite series. Read it in order though... (For Love of Mother Not, The Tar-Aiym Krang, Orphan Star, The End of the Matter, Flinx in Flux, Bloodhype (flinx only plays a small part in this story), Mid-Flinx

5.0 out of 5 stars Flinx is on the move again!, Feb 22 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Orphan Star (Mass Market Paperback)
Flinx is on the move again when he risks all to chase his past to a forbidden planet! He finds more clues to his past, and at the same time when things are at their darkest, finds friends who can appreciate his special talents! Of all this Flinx tales, I liked this one for its high-risk adventure! It was a lot of fun!
