For Love of Mother Not

From bestselling author Alan Dean Foster, an exciting early Pip and Flinx novel that shows the origins of a certain boy with special powers-and the mini-dragon that becomes his devoted sidekick....

For years the old woman was his only family. She loved him, fed him, taught him everything she knew-even let him keep the deadly flying dragon he called Pip. But when Mother Mastiff mysteriously disappears, Flinx tails her kidnappers on a dangerous journey. Across the forests and swamps of the winged world called Moth, their only weapons are Pip's venom ... and Flinx's unusual Talents.Foster, Alan Dean is the author of 'For Love of Mother Not ', published 1983 under ISBN 9780345346896 and ISBN 0345346890.
