	Alan Dean Foster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alan Dean Foster (November 18, 1946, New York City) is a prolific American writer of science fiction and fantasy novels and movie novelizations.
		Foster usually devotes a large part of his novels on descriptions of strange environments of alien worlds and how the flora and fauna of these worlds exists together.
		Foster has been so prolific that he is often rumored to have been the ghostwriter on novels with which he had little direct involvement, such as the novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture which was credited to (and actually written by) Gene Roddenberry.

	Interview: A Conversation With Alan Dean Foster Writers Write -- The IWJ

	Alan Dean Foster Page: ADF Notes
		Among Foster's favorites in the SF field were John Campbell and Eric Frank Russell and they were fond of returning to the same setting, or taking a second story to a related but different conclusion.
		Foster chose as an inhospitable place a planet covered with a frozen ocean and cat-like natives who skate on their claws and have developed a culture reminiscent of feudal Europe.
		Alan Dean Foster was a natural choice to ghost write the book for George Lucas, after all - he wrote the screenplay for the film.

	Alan Dean Foster, The Mocking Program
		Foster, like only a few others, has managed to go beyond the usual words, to incorporate a whole new universe of "spang" (Spanglish, or Spanish-English slang), not just in the dialogue but in the narrative itself.
		Alan Dean Foster's always been a little hit and miss for me. I've enjoyed a lot of his books, while others fall flat on their faces.
		Foster is one of those authors who can transition from fantasy to science fiction and back again with remarkable ease; his Pip and Flinx and Spellsinger series are examples of his skill in either field.

	Alan Dean Foster's The Mocking Program. The Eternal Night Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Web Site
		Foster has researched this variation of our future so intensely that the very back of the book contains a Glossary of Spang, or Spanish English Slang, in order to allow the reader to become familiar with some of the not-so-familiar terms that appear within the story.
		Foster's dialogue throughout the book flows very naturally, despite the fact that the characters are speaking words that shouldn't mean anything to the reader.
		For all of you Alan Dean Foster fans out there, this is a different type of Foster novel—it's a story that isn't rich with aliens and it doesn't take place hundreds of years in our future.

		Foster: I can't think of many writers who aren't at least, in their heart of hearts, a little disappointed when any or every book of theirs isn't turned into a film.
		Foster: The Approaching Storm, which will be out next month, is an independent novel detailing certain events that lead up to the story in Attack of the Clones.
		Foster: Shorts are always easier for beginning writers to sell, because the investment on both the part of the writer and the publisher is so much less.

		The story starts off with an alien vessel of unknown origin, that seems to be heading straight into an exploding nebula, apparently unaware that the radiation is too high for even the Enterprise's shields to screen out.
		The stories are fun, fast paced, entertaining, and Alan Dean Foster tackles them with obvious relish (and perhaps a bit of mustard as well).
		The unlikely trio of characters and their adventures through the Unstable Lands provide plenty of variety to this first book of a new series, gently pulling the reader along on the journey.

		Foster attended UCLA, and sold his first short story while still a student there, a Lovecraftian letter that appeared in the bi-annual magazine The Arkham Collector.
		Foster says he admires the work of designing computer games, but he doesn't have time to play them.
		Dark Star is a particular masterpiece of novelization, wherein Foster took a funny but absurd film and turned it into a funny but compelling and ultimately rewarding novel.

	Amazon.ca: The Hand of Dinotopia: Books: Alan Dean Foster,James Gurney (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In Foster's second Dinotopia adventure based on James Gurnry's books, Will and Chaz, the reluctant protoceratops translator, follow Sylvia through the Great Desert and remote Outer Island as she searches for the Hand of Dinotopia, the key to a sea route that would link reef-bound Dinotopia to rest of the world.
		The dinosaurs are more interesting than the humans in the story, and the dialogue is occasionally stilted, but Foster does a good job of expressing Gurney's original vision of Dinotopia, re-creating the cities, deserts, and jungles, along with their exotic inhabitants in vivid detail.
		I loved the story itself though and Alan Dean Foster's unique ability to describe fictional settings and people is what makes this book great.

		While Foster's plotting lacks subtlety?most readers will be a step or three ahead of the characters?the ever more improbable predicaments in which interstellar adventurer Philip Flinx and his pet minidragon, Pip, find themselves prove invariably engaging.
		The prodigiously productive Foster has honed his narrative style until it is so consistently absorbing that newcomers to the Flinx saga will search out earlier installments, and both they and seasoned fans will be gratified by Foster's hints of more to come.
		Foster is still thinking about Flinx, and intends to continue writing about him as a character.

		Foster exhibits a keen eye for depicting alien art forms and injects a cohesion lacking in some earlier installments, giving the series a much-needed energy boost.
