I checked this book out from the library years ago and can't remember the author or title, but I'de like to.
It starts out on an island and an alien girls walks out of the ocean and teaches this dude some tricks like tapping the energy in the world around him. Ok so they have to get a ruby and then they build a spaceship and fly to her homeworld where they crash land and she dissappears. He then proceeds to change his body and quest across the land in search of her people... he eventually rides on the back of a large pteradactl like creature called a voorflon. Any ideas?

Hum, this doesn't sound terribly familiar to me. I did a web search on "Voorflon" and found that it is tied in with a video game, though I'm not sure which one.

yeah I tried that also... I think it's tied to doom or something similar to that. I also went to a sci fi author archive and paged through different authors, their works, and a brief synopsis on the titles. To no avail so far.

Something is nagging at me a bit about this story. Do you remember if the girl who came out the ocean was blue skinned? It's not because I remember the plot, but I seem to remember a cover illustration of a book with a blue skinned woman coming out of the waves toward a man on a beach.

I'm pretty sure the book had a big green flying... ahhhh ... voorflon on the cover. Could be wrong though.

That scifi search is pretty detailed... Is there anything with an archive of all books with every word in them online where you can do key word searches on animals/main characters names?

Probably not for any book under copyright.

Too bad about that. I feel discouraged... I went to the library where I originally checked it out and the librarian said she would contact someone she knew who runs a sci fi work shop... Any other suggestions? Even another forum that would be good to post on? Anyone?

Soooo Kainja... do you remember what the book with the blue skinned woman coming out of the waves was called? Just trying to follow any possibilities...

Hhhmmm, I don't know this one, but a good site to try is
www.sfandf.com
They have a database of books, with a brief outline of the story of each, and a "have you heard of" type forum. I don't know if the search will be any good though, I don't think you can search the descriptions of the books for key words....

I looked through my books and don't have a copy of that book with the blue skinned woman. And the name simply won't come to me. I think it might have been by Arthur C. Clarke or Poul Anderson, though. Those names occur to me.
