 pip & flinx series #1:
(has what must be one of the worst titles of any sf novel in the english language. . .):

#0: "for love of mother-not" (1983), q.v.
#1: "the tar-aiym krang" (1972), (this novel)
#2: "orphan star" (1977), q.v.
#3: "the end of the matter" (1977), q.v.
#4: "snake eyes" (1978), q.v.
#5: "flinx in flux" (1988), q.v.
#6: "mid-flinx" (1995), q.v.
#7: "reunion" (2001), q.v.
#8: "sideshow" (2002), q.v.
#9: "flinx's folly" (2003), q.v.
#10: "sliding scales" (2004), q.v..
#11: "running from the deity" (2005), q.v.
#12: "bloodhype" (1973), q.v.
#13: "trouble magnet" (2006), q.v.
#14: "patrimony" (2007), q.v.
#15: "growth" (2008), q.v.
#16: "flinx trascendent" (2009), q.v.
#17: "strange music" (2017), q.v.

(i've not seen copies of books first published after 1995's "mid-flinx", so have taken these and their places in the series from others' reports - informed corrections welcome. love, ppint.)

the humanx commonwealth series, q.v. and the icerigger trilogy, q.v. share the same background.
