Pip and Flinx - Alan Dean Foster

If you enjoyed For Love of Mother Not (Free Kindle), by Alan Dean Foster, you'll probably want to also pick up The End of the Matter ($1.80), is the third in the Pip and Flinx series.

Book Description
Accompanied by his faithful minidrag Pip and a most troublesome alien called Abalamahalamatandra--Ab for short--Flinx set out for Alaspin, the ruggedly primitive homeworld of his flying snake. There he hoped to find the giant man with the gold earring who somehow held the key to Flinx's mysterious past and to the strange powers he possessed. Chasing down his heritage was trouble enough, but Flinx didn't know what real trouble was until he realized that the Qwarm--a deadly assassin squad--were three steps behind him with a contract to kill. But the minidrag's homeworld did not offer safety and Flinx had a terrible time just staying alive ... a matter complicated to no mean degree by a collapsar already set on an unstoppable death course across the galaxy!

You can pick up some of the rest of the beginning of this series at a discount as well. Although the first in the series, The Tar-aiym Krang is $5.59, you can get it and the fourth bundled together at the same price: The Tar-aiym Krang/Orphan Star. Book six, Flinx in Flux, is $4.79 and that only leaves the second in the series, Bloodhype, missing - it's also supposed to be $4.79, but is currently marked unavailable (and like many other books with this status at Amazon, there is no clue as to why or when it will return). Of course, that's just the start of the series - there are eight more to go after Flinx in Flux.
