Running from the Deity

Last updated October 31, 2026

By Alan Dean Foster

Flinx seeks the Krang, an ancient weapons platform, to use against the evil approaching the Commonwealth. His ship needs raw materials for repairs, so he lands on Arrawd, a world whose people have reached roughly the age of steam. Contact is forbidden, but an injured ankle puts him in the care of a local couple, Storra and Ebbanai, and some natives soon begin to treat him as a god. Alan Dean Foster plays it for humor and peril.
