I've never gotten into Alan Dean Foster, although he's reasonably popular.
Aside from having a virtual lock on SF movie novelizations for nearly a
decade, he written two popular series:  The Humanax Commonwealth [SF] &
Spellsinger [Fantasy].  Does anyone want to give a tour of recommended
books?

[C] == Short Story Collection.
[O] == Omnibus.  Includes other books.
