The author used new books and series down the line to fill out his universe. Over time, the world surrounding the characters introduced in ‘The Tar-Aiym Krang’ began to grow.

The book was a fast-paced thrill ride written with young readers in mind. When ‘The Tar-Aiym Krang’ was first written and published, Alan Dean Foster’s world was a relatively small place. When the Humanx Commonwealth isn’t administering the planets within its borders, its leaders are doing battle against a xenophobic species called the AAnn who desire to see the humans destroyed. The Humanx Commonwealth operates in tandem with the United Church, a council that amalgamates all the religions of the Universe under a single roof in its attempts to foster tolerance. The Humans and the Thranx are joined in this alliance by a litany of alien species that include Minidrags and Ulry-Ujurrians. The Humanx Commonwealth was designed to be a liberal democracy that not only spanned multiple star systems but which also worked to establish symbiotic relationships between humans and their alien partners, allowing for an amalgamation of sorts to take place. The Humans and the Thranx govern all political and religious matters on the planets that the alliance encompasses. The primary components of the alliance are the humans who live on Earth and the Thranx, insectoid creatures who live on Hivehorm. Within the context of the books, the Humanx Commonwealth is an alliance of alien species. The term ‘Humanx Commonwealth’ is used to refer to the universe in which many of Alan Dean Foster’s standalone novels, series and trilogies take pace. The book also introduced readers to the world of the Humanx Commonwealth. Published in 1972, the book introduces readers to Flinx, a 17-year-old boy with incredible psychic abilities.
