This is kind of supposed to be an encouragement to me: For Love of Mother-Not is the first book in Alan Dean Foster’s Pip and Flinx series of alien world exploration adventure, and I should reread the whole thing to catch up before I go get the last book in the series. It’s a good series. I’ve always like the central idea of Foster’s Humanx Commonwealth (short version: giant alien bugs! …Hey, these guys are pretty chill. We should hang out). I should get caught up with it.
And so, adieu to Live Free or Die.
Ryozenzuzex used to be my goto name to use when I needed a name for insectoids in video games. (Starflight. Master of Orion or Magic. He became Thi-Kreen in Dark Sun.)
I loved that one. Read most of the series. I may need to catch up.
It’s a “pre-quel”, actually.
Yeah, that’s not the first book writen, reasonable starting point though… Boy, there’s a lot of those now.
There’s also A Call To Arms, in which is Humanity is needed as a war-making race.
I remember rebooting several of those. I didn’t realize they were still going. Since I hadn’t seen any of his books in stores for decades, I just kind of assumed he was either dead or retired.
Rebooting? Autocorrect hate me today. Reading, obviously.
“hadn’t seen any of his books in stores for decades” – publishers must think he’s conservative.
