Publisher's Summary

He was just a freckle-faced, red-headed kid with green eyes and a strangely campelling stare when Mather Mastiff first saw him an the auctioneer's block. One hundred credits and he was hers.

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 snake he called Pip.Then Mother Mastiff mysteriously disappeared and Flinx took Pip to tail her kidnappers. Across the forests and swamps of the winged world called Moth, their only weapons were Pip's venom . . . and Flinx's unusual Talents.

BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction written and read by author Alan Dean Foster.

Check out more Pip and Flinx.

    "Fantastic Sci-Fi Novel"

    I thought this book was extremely well done. I enjoy Flinx's personality. Although he does have a special "talent", it is his intelligence that gets him through most of the adventures in this book and I love a protagonist with a brain. :)

    Story
    "A good start to the series"

    Alan Dean Foster's style has always been to start a story with an interesting yet plausible premise then direct it to an ever and ever outrageous conclusion. The funny thing is, as you get sucked into the story you never quite see how outrageous it has become. This was not the first book he wrote in this series, but it is the start of the story line. Therefor Foster had to fit the story within pre-existing story restrictions. It was well done and tidy, not needing to have read other stories to understand this one, and not feeling like there was no ending.

    Story
    "A flying, acid-spitting SNAKE??"

    Actually, I think this is probably a "young adults" book. Who cares? Foster is a first-rate wordsmith, crafting a solid storyline and moving it right along. The characters are nice to know (for some) or great to hate (for others), but constantly credible... including Flinx the flying, acid-spitting snake. Yes.
    This is not great literature, but a pleasant pass-time. As such, recommended.

    "easy book to listen to"
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    the story line was slow to develop and the ending seemed to hurry to a conclusion


    Would you recommend For Love of Mother-Not to your friends? Why or why not?

    probably it sets the stage for other flinx adventure in the series.


    What about Stefan Rudnicki’s performance did you like?

    yes


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    not real sure


    Any additional comments?

    no
