Amazon.com description: Product Description: Flinx was just a freckle-faced, red¬headed kid with green eyes and a strangely compelling stare when Mother Mastiff first saw him on the auctioneer’s block. One hundred credits, and he was hers. For years the old woman was his only family. She loved him, fed him, taught him everything she knew―even let him keep the deadly flying dragon he called Pip. But when Mother Mastiff mysteriously disappears, Flinx tails her kidnappers on a dangerous journey. Across the forests and swamps of the winged world called Moth, their only weapons are Pip’s venom . . . and Flinx’s unusual Talents.
