Alan Dean Foster - Pip and Flinx 1 - The Tar-Aiym Krang (1972)

Book Review.

In 1972 (that's a long time ago) Alan Dean Foster wrote the first of the Pip and Flinx novels.

It's an easy read, which would probably classify as a YA, with left and right a bit of exposition (and somewhat old fashioned) but it is still imminently readable. 

Summary

Summary: youngster of 17 with paranormal powers and a pet dragon / snake travels along to an alien planet, and unwillingly saves the day.

Narration

A little old-fashioned, some might even call it pedantic, but it suits the novel fine.

The Verdict

Good stuff. Even now, 50 (!) years later, it is still entertaining.
