MOON CALLED

Their powers must fuse as one.
Thora is the Chosen One. Pressed against her breast is the Sacred Jewel,
posessing all the powers of the Moon.

Makil is the Man of Pure Light. In his golden scabbard
rests the Magical Sword of Lur.

Together they descend into an underground world of soulless machines and eternal night. High Priestess and Warrior, Jewel and Sword, they join in the battle against the Dark Lord. If they fail, the Holy Force will fall - and Thora and Makil will be forever entombed in the flesh of evil.

VOORLOOPER

VOOR: A new planet, declared free and open to settlers
by Survey testers; a wild but fertile land, dotted with impenetrable brush and lonely wastelands
that remains unexplored, where frontiersmen had hoped to carve out new lives for their families. But a Shadow stalks on Voor, striking without warning at isolated settlements, killing nearly all, and leaving
Shadow-touched and forever strange those few who were left alive.

Now an oddly-matched trio has
set out to learn the secret of the Shadow Death, heading deeper into the wastelands
than anyone has ever gone: an embittered wanderer and his son,
a young girl, who bears a Healer's gifts. All are Shadow-touched; what they
had to lose is lost already; they are free now
to risk their lives in search of truth.

Flight in Yiktor

A crippled child
seeking courage and identity.
An exiled sorceress
seeking redemption
A spaceman in an alien's body,
seeking justice.

Three quests joined together beneath a moon of three rings - an adventure novel brimming with all the warmth, invention and magic that are uniquely Andre` Norton's.

Orphaned, deformed, Farree was a beastmerchant's slave in a spaceport slum. Suddenly he and his only friend, a venomous hunting pet, Toggor the smux, were released by two strangers: Lady Malelen, the Moon Singer, a psychic body-stealing sorceress; and Lord-One Krip Vorlund, a telepathic ex-Free Trader. With their encouragement, Farree began to learn self-respect as his limited mental rapport with animals grew into a full mind-touch

But Farree's freedom brought new peils: Malelen and Krip had earlier stopped the intergalactic Theive's Guild from looting Forerunner artifacts, and the pirates had marked them for death. On planet and in space, the three and their beasts repeatedly fought off Guild attacks, as their course led to the planet Yiktor-Maelen's homeworld, form which she had been exiled by her people, the Thassa mindmasters.

But now she had to return: a secret Guild plot centered on Yiktor, the pirates had perfected a mind shield, and the non-technological Thassa might not be able to stop the plundering of their world.

Thus, with Farree, Krip and Maelen each helping and protecting the others, the triple quests began. One would lead to success; one to disaster, destruction and terrifying devastation. And one would lead to an incredible transformation, to the emergence of a being whose beauty, grace and power had never before been seen in the galaxy; and to a great- and possibly unsolvable- mystery.

Year of the Unicorn

To pay an unearthly tribute, thirteen must leave with the Were Riders, thirteen torn from their homeland to ride with illusion and darkness, to travel the unmapped lands with the nomads who were more than men and less than human.

That was the price to be paid for an unholy alliance without which the homeland would have been lost. But was the price worth paying? Gillan, who became one of the Thirteen, was to find out... and in the finding, find a lost land, a forgotten world.

Catseye

Troy Horn is deported from his own planet during a galactic war,
and becomes one of the most inferior citizens of Korwar. He is lucky to find work
in an exclusive pet shop which imports unusual animals from other planets, and
discovers to his surprise that he and some of the animals can understand each other's unspoken thoughts.

But there is something sinister about the pet shop. What is the purpose of these
special animals, and who is the unknown agent who dominates their strange powers
and terrifies them? And who plotted the murder of Kyger,
the owner of the pet shop?

Troy's adventures and escape with the animals to an ancient and deserted
underground city far away in the wilderness are thrilling to read, and seem very
realistic because the descriptions of the spacecraft, weapons, machinery and
civilization on Korwar are so precise.

A really exciting book for older readers, especially boys.

Gryphon in Glory

Intruder in the Waste

The Waste was stirring and strange forms of the Dark,
long quiet, began to wake as Kerovan -- whose cloven hoofs marked
his kinship with the Old Ones -- journeyed into the Waste on a secret mission,
leaving behind the girl he loved. Joisan, however, rode after him, wearing about her
neck Kerovan's gift, a small crystal globe encasing a miniature gryphon.
While Kerovan strove for answers to the riddle of the Dark, Joisan worked to unlock
the power of the crystal grypon. But only together could they hope to find the
ancient Sleeper and defeat the forces of evil...

Brother to Shadows

DEBT OF HONOUR, OATH OF BLOOD

Since early childhood, Jofre has honoured the ways of the Brotherhood.
Now the illustrious order of bodyguards and assassins has cast him out in disgrace - cruelly condemning the young Shadow to wander a treacherous world alone. But in the Stinkport, safe haven for the vilest of star-travelling scum, Jofre's true destiny is revealed. For here he is bound by blood-oath to the gentle, reptilian knowledge-seeker Zurzal on a perilous quest to penetrate the mysteries of time - a miraculous journey that will cary them through war and revolution on far planets and deep into the Shattered Lands ... and to the beautiful and mysterious Shadow-sister whose own sworn mission could doom them all.

"Andre Norton returns to the kind of science fiction adventure she once made here specialty ... BROTHER TO SHADOWS delivers enough exotic action and old-fashioned storytelling virtues to keep the reader turning pages."
