Growing up, I never gave a thought to being a writer. All I ever wanted to be was a traveler and explorer. Science-fiction allowed me to go places that were otherwise inaccessible, which is why I started reading it. I was going to be a lawyer, but I got saved.

Alan Dean Foster is one of the more versatile speculative-fiction writers alive. He's written pure "hard-science" SF, softer SF, adventure, movie novelizations, and several kinds of fantasy. This page is where I've listed my collection of Foster SF novels. I have a separate page for his fantasy works.
