Orphan Star
Author: Alan Dean Foster
 
All of his life Flinx had lived on Drallar with his foster mother, an ageing shopkeeper. But Flinx did not belong there and although he knew nothing of his true parents he was determined to find out about himself and the strange mental abilities that he had been endowed with.
His search was to lead him into the clutches of Challis, one of the most powerful men in the Commonwealth . . . on to Terra where records of his birth were kept . . . and finally to Urlu-Ujurr where the priceless and mysterious Janus jewels came from and where a new civilisation was about to be born.
