The Tar-Aiym Krang

a novel
Alan Dean Foster
Book - 1972

"With two great golden clouds suspended around it, Moth was the only planet that appeared to have wings. It was a beautiful planet--and a trap for the unwary. Here was a wide-open world for any venture a man might scheme. The planet attracted unwary travelers, hardened space-sailors, and merchant buccaneers -- a teeming, constantly shifting horde that provided a comfortable income for certain quick-witted fellows like Flinx and his pet mini-dragon, Pip. With his odd talents, the pickings were easy enough so that Flinx did not have to be dishonest -- most of the time. In fact, it hardly seemed dishonest at all to steal a starmap from a dead body that didn't really need it anymore. But Flinx forgot one crucial point. He should have wondered why the body was dead in the first place"--P. [4] of cover.
