The Candle of Distant Earth From science fiction
legend and New York Times bestselling author Alan Dean Foster, creator
of the ever-popular Pip and Flinx series, comes the climactic final
novel in The Taken trilogy, his electrifying space epic about a man and
his dog for whom the expression “out of this world” takes on a whole new
 meaning. Location is everything. In Chicago, Marcus Walker was a
 hotshot commodities broker. In the cargo hold of the alien Vilenjji
spaceship, he and a laconic dog named George, who has been
speech-enhanced to increase his value, are just two more primitive
creatures being shipped to the civilized part of the universe, where the
 market for cuddly extraterrestrial “pets” is busting wide open. Though
 Walker and George manage to escape, man and dog are far from overjoyed,
 being even farther from Earth–billions of miles, in fact–and without a
clue as to whether the direction home is up, down, or sideways.
Possessing universe-level social skills, Walker becomes the leader of
his own armada. Yet even a fleet commander is hard pressed to find a
piece of space that no one’s ever heard of, much less cares to find. To
 make matters worse, it seems the Vilenjji are proving to be notoriously
 sore losers. Even if Walker does pull off the impossible and pinpoint
his needle of a solar system in the universe haystack, there’s a good
chance that the unrelenting Vilenjji will get to him before he ever gets
 to Wrigley Field. Yep, it’s a wide-open universe out there, bursting with possibilities– and Walker’s going to get hit with all of them.
