Pip & Flinx seriesbook 5 of 14Next:Flinx of the Commonwealth(1983) →

He was just 8, freckle-faced, redheaded, green-eyed, and a strangely compelling stare when Mother Mastiff, 90, bought him. At 16, Pip, a telepathic venomous mini-dragon chooses him for his pet, and kidnappers take his mother-not for leverage and power. Across the forests and swamps of the backwater planet Moth, they follow, and gain attractive Lauren for an ally.
