Foster, Alan Dean: Alien Nation. 20112
Severn House: London 1989.
First hardcover edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Novelisation of the movie, based on the screenplay by Rockne S. O'Bannon: preceded by a Warner paperback original the year before.
''The Newcomers, or ''Slags'', are 300,000 humanoid aliens, genetically engineered for hard labour, survivors of a crashlanded slave ship, grudgingly accepted but disliked by humans, and ghettoized. Working in partnership with a human (James Caan), Sam Francisco becomes the first alien police detective in LA. There are murders related to the use of alien drugs. A stereotyped buddy-cop story follows (uneasy relationship between races deepens as tolerance is learned). This is an efficient, unambitious adventure film whose observations of racial bigotry towards cultural strangers -- effectively ''boat people'' -- are good-humoured but seldom rise above cliché'' (Encyclopedia of SF).

Foster, Alan Dean: Bloodhype. 31767
Ballantine Books: NY. 1973.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Paperback original.
Fourth of the Pip & Flinx novels. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
''several of his best books fit into a loose double sequence of novels set in a multifarious Galaxy dominated by the Humanx Commonwealth, a venue well suited as an arena for space operas and encounters with alien races. The central sequence follows the life of young Flinx, an orphan with psi powers and the friendship of a highly potent pet alien named Pip, and comprises (in order of internal chronology): The Tar-Aiym Krang (1972), Orphan Star (1977) and The End Of The Matter (1977). all three collected together - with linking material - as For Love of Mother-Not (1983), BLOODHYPE (1973); and Flinx in Flux (1988). Sometimes reminiscent of the earlier work of Poul Anderson, the sequence is expansive and colourful, though tending to melodrama and prone to the fable-like use of such sf and fantasy elements as ESP and dragons'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Foster, Alan Dean: Drowning World. 10750
Del Rey/Ballantine: NY. 2003.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
The seventh book in the Humanx Commonwealth sf series.
''on the distant planet Fluva, torrential rains that leave it barely habitable also make it a treasure trove of rare botanical specimens. When the human prospector Shadrach Hasselemoga crashes in a remote area, the only crew available to search for him is the warrior Jemunu-jah, one of the native Sakuntala, and the immigrant Deyzara trader, Masurathoo. This exceedingly odd couple-culturally different and physically repulsive to each other-promptly crash also. While the rescuers and the rescued are all slogging it out of the ultimate rain forest, the reptilian AAn empire is fomenting bloody trouble between the Sakuntula and the Deyzara. This leaves Commonwealth administrator Lauren Matthias in the hot seat, with refugees swarming in to her limited facilities and the bodies of the innocent piling up, with few resources to help. But it's the survivors of the rain forest who bring new knowledge that helps save Fluva, along with quick work by Matthias. The human characters are notably less developed than the aliens, and the AAn Empire is something of a straw foe these days, but the author's mastery of his exotic setting cannot be denied''.

Foster, Alan Dean: Krull. 20111
Severn House: London 1984.
First hardcover edition (& 1st printing).
Novelisation of the movie: there had been a Warner paperback edition the year before.
''Despite occasional technofantasy trappings, this is sword & sorcery set in a science-fantasy venue in what is in effect a secondary world, the planet Krull. Led by the Beast, the Slayers arrive on Krull to enslave the people there. The kings Eirig and Turold reluctantly agree to join their kingdoms and abdicate in favour of their respective children, Colwyn and Lyssa, who are in love and wish to marry. But the forces of the Beast (for whom read the Dark Lord) capture Lyssa. Colwyn embarks, with the help of wise oldster Ynyr, on a quest to rescue her and save the world, gathering companions as he goes. The Black Fortress, a rocky edifice that is not only the lair of the Beast but the Beast's spaceship and, internally, the Beast's body, spontaneously shifts position on Krull's surface with every dawn, making the quest more difficult. At last, after many often original antasy twists, Colwyn slays the Beast and thus destroys the fortress and the Slayers as a whole. This is High Fantasy at its best. Undoubtedly produced as a UK response to the string of successful US science fantasies begun with Star Wars (1977), it transcends that medium. Some moments are derivative, echoes of even The Prisoner of Zenda (1952) are detectable, but the whole glorious mixture produces a rattling adventure'' (Encyclopedia of Fantasy).
