Andre Norton Books Overview

No Night Without Stars

In a world nearly destroyed by a cataclysmic natural disaster, a young metalsmith leaves his own people to seek out some of the ancient skills and knowledge.

Star Born

When Raf Kurbi’s Terran spaceship burst into unexplored skies of the far planet Astra and was immediately made welcome by the natives of a once mighty metropolis, Kurbi was unaware of three vital things: One was that Astra already harbored an Earth colony descended from refugees from the world of the previous century. Two was that these men and women were facing the greatest danger of their existence from a new outburst of the inhuman fiends who had once tyrannized Astra. Three was that the natives who were buying Kurbi’s science know how were those very fiends and their intentions were implacably deadly for all humans, whether Earth born or Star Born. ‘Nobody today is telling better stories of straight forward interstellar adventure.’ New York Herald Tribune

Plague Ship

Dane Thorson, Cargo master apprentice of the Solar Queen, Galactic Free Trader spacer, Terra registry, stood in the middle of the ship’s cramped bather while Rip Shannon, assistant Astrogator and his senior in the Service of Trade by some four years, applied gobs of highly scented paste to the skin between Dane’s rather prominent shoulder blades. The small cabin was thickly redolent with spicy odors and Rip sniffed appreciatively. ‘You’re sure going to be about the best smelling Terran who ever set boot on Sargol’s soil,’ his soft slur of speech ended in a rich chuckle. Dane snorted and tried to estimate progress over one shoulder. ‘The things we have to do for Trade!’ his comment carried a hint of present embarrassment. ‘Get it well in this stuff’s supposed to hold for hours. It’d better. According to Van those Salariki can talk your ears right off your head and say nothing worth hearing. And we have to sit and listen until we get a straight answer out of them. Phew!’

Voodoo Planet

Voodoo Planet‘ features Dane Thorson, a young man fortunate enough to land a job on the Free Trader ship, the ‘Solar Queen.’ Plying their trade among the stars, Free Traders visit planets known and unknown in search of profit. Another novel featuring Dane Thorson, ‘Plague Ship,’ is also available from Wildside Press. In ‘Voodoo Planet,’ Captain Jellico and the ship’s medic, Tau, are invited to Khatka, a world settled by African refugees, to help unravel the secret of a witch doctor’s growing power. Dane is invited along as cover, much to his delight. Khatka has been set up as an exclusive hunting preserve for the rich. With mysterious, possibly supernatural deaths at the hands of otherworldly creatures, disappearing equipment, and a witch doctor’s ‘magic’ not to mention poachers!, it may be more than the crew of the Solar Queen can handle! Includes a new introduction by best selling author John Gregory Betancourt written especially for this edition.

Derelict for Trade (With: Sherwood Smith)

Stumbling upon an abandoned ship, Captain Jellico and the crew of the Solar Queen seize the prize and claim the right to salvage the derelict vessel, only to become the targets of a secret alien hijacking ring out to sabotage their claim.

A Mind for Trade (With: Sherwood Smith)

The new novel in the popular ‘Solar Queen’ series. Hesprid IV can’t be that bad. Especially when it holds such a huge deposit of lucrative cielanite ore. Or so thinks Dane Thorson and the rest of the crew of the ‘Solar Queen’, and its new sister ship, the recently recovered derelict ‘North Star’. The plan seems simple make landfall, mine ore, leave. Too bad things are never as easy as they appear.

The Solar Queen

Adventure in SpaceIn 1955, Norton introduced Dane Thorson, an apprentice cargo master who signed on with the independent cargo ship Solar Queen looking for a career in off world trade. Here are the first two star spanning tales of Dane Thorson and The Solar Queen. In Sargasso of Space, the free traders of The Solar Queen win exclusive rights to all tradable goods discovered on the planet Limbo. The crew arrives to find the planet’s surface charred, signs of life sparse. Worse yet, a strange pulse emanating from the planet itself may keep the Queen from lifting off. The traders find a secret valley with life, but others may still lurk in rocky caves below. The traders must solve the mysteries of Limbo if they hope to escape the planet, let alone come away with some saleable goods. In Plague Ship, the Queen travels to Sargol, homeworld to a race of sentient felines, the Salariki. Sargol promises a wealth of exquisite gems to trade if the crew can overcome the natives’ mistrust. But their troubles have only just begun. When a mysterious soon overtakes all the crew except the four youngest, the Galactic Patrol labels the Queen plagued and orders it to be destroyed on sight. The apprentices discover alien beings aboard the Queen, and realize the illness may be connected to the aliens. With every ship in the galaxy searching for them, the crew has one chance to save The Solar Queen: broadcast their plight throughout the galaxy. But the one station able to do this is on Earth, at Patrol headquarters, which ordered The Solar Queen‘s destruction!

The Time Traders

If it is possible to conquer space, then perhaps it is also possible to conquer time. At least that was the theory American scientists were exploring in an effort to explain the new sources of knowledge the Russians possessed. Perhaps Russian scientists had discovered how to transport themselves back in time in order to learn long forgotten secrets of the past. That was why young Ross Murdock, above average in intelligence but a belligerently independent nonconformist, found himself on a ‘hush hush’ government project at a secret base in the Arctic. The very qualities that made him a menace in civilized society were valuable traits in a man who must successfully act the part of a merchant trader of the Beaker people during the Bronze Age. For once they were transferred by time machine to the remote Baltic region where the Russian post was located, Ross and his partner Ashe were swept into a fantastic action filled adventure involving Russians, superstitious prehistoric men, and the aliens of a lost galactic civilization that demanded every ounce of courage the Americans possessed. Andre Norton’s earlier books, Star Born and The Stars Are Ours!, have made this author one of the most popular writers in the science fiction field. In this daring adventure into the mists of time, readers will find themselves transported to still more exciting ‘other’ worlds. ‘Effectively utilizing the concept of time travel, the author…
has written another imaginative, action filled science fiction story for teenage boys. Young Ross Murdock…
is sent back into the Bronze Age, discovers a derelict galactic ship, and finds himself fighting…
to gain control of the secrets of space flight.’ ALA Booklist

Galactic Derelict

Ace 8th printing features ‘reversed’ Davis Meltzer cover see backwards signature at bottom! ‘Time travel for archaeologists was a well guarded secret; but when the remains of an interstellar spaceship are uncovered along with the usual fossils, the time agents must call on a modern Apache Indian, Travis Fox, to guide them in the ways of his ancestors in their trip to the past. But the explorers become trapped in space as well as time, on a mad journey on an automatic starship; not even Travis Fox can tell whether any of them will ever see Earth again.’

The Defiant Agents

‘A tiny sound perhaps the scrape of a boot on a ladder. Travis edged back into a compartment. A flash of light momentarily lighted the corridor; the approaching figure was using an electric torch. Travis drew his knife with one hand, reversed it so he could use the heavy hilt as a silencer. The other was hurrying now, on his way to investigate the burned out engine cabin. Travis could hear the rasp of his fast breathing. Now!’…
Alien technology scavenged by U.S. and Russian scientists has started a race to colonize planets outside our solar system, but the U.S. scientists are losing the race. In a desperate move the U.S. government decides to use a group of Apache volunteers in an experimental attempt to colonize a primitive planet, but before they can even begin their spaceship crashes on the planet Topaz…

Key Out of Time

Andre Alice Norton was a 20th century American science fiction writer. She also wrote historical fiction and contemporary fiction. Andre Norton was her pseudonym. She was the first woman to receive the Gandalf Grand Master Award from the World Science Fiction Society in 1977. Norton was awarded the coveted Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award from the SFWA in 1983. Key Out of Time is part of the Time Trader Series in which Ross Murdock and Arthur Ashe continue their adventure across space and time. Ross and Arthur are helped by Karara and two trained dolphins. In Hawaika, which was settled by Hawaiian and Polynesian settlers. The planet Hawaikan is a warm tropical planet that is mostly ocean. It is so different from what they had expected that they decide to risk a time trip back in the planet’s history. Just as they are about to use the time gate a storm blows up and Murdock is flung through the gate and into the planet’s past. The time gate is destroyed and Murdock is left to cope with this different and alien world on his own.

Firehand

Preparing to travel through time in order to face a band of predatory aliens, Ross Murdoch plans to leap into the feudal period of Dominion, where he can help win a war that will bring defeat to the aliens. AB.

Echoes in Time (With: Sherwood Smith)

Having revitalized the classic Solar Queen series to critical acclaim, Andre Norton and Sherwood Smith now turn their storytelling talents to Norton’s popular Time Traders series. Time agents Ross Murdock and Eveleen Riorden are recalled from their honeymoon to take part in a dangerous assignment: find a team of Russian scientists who have vanished without a trace from a research mission in the past of a far off planet. Along with a team of Russian time Agents with their own mysterious agenda and Saba, a new agent teamed with Gordon Ashe, they leap into the alien world’s distant history. There they encounter several alien races, whose appearance, language, and customs are almost incomprehensibly strange. Something changed this world, and music seems the only tool that might prove a key to unlocking the planet’s secrets. But as they try to decipher a digital alien Rosetta stone, time is running out for their mission. Ross now knows what happened to the missing scientists but can he save his team before they too vanish forever?This thrilling adventure of a desperate race against treacherous time itself is a tale filled with excitement and wonder in the grand Time Traders tradition.

Atlantis Endgame (With: Sherwood Smith)

Andre Norton and Sherwood Smith have collaborated on Solar Queen and Time Traders novels, but never before have they created as rousing an adventure as awaits Ross Murdock, Gordon Ashe, and the rest of the Time Patrol in Ancient Atlantis. In Earth’s future, when time travel has become possible, the Time Patrol is the top secret government agency that protects Earth’s past, so that our history will not become corrupted by invaders from either our future or from other worlds. For many years, Murdock, Ashe, and other members of the Time Patrol have contended with threats to our time continuum, none more deadly than the alien Baldies, who hate other high tech civilizations and want to destroy Earth. Evidence of time travel has been found in ruins dating to the ancient world…
in the legendary realm of Atlantis. So Murdock, Ashe, Eveleen Riordan, and other Time Patrollers deck themselves out as foreign traders to discover whether something is amiss in Atlantis. They find that the Baldies are there, as evidenced by sophisticated, high tech equipment, whose purpose it is impossible to fathom. As they try to derail the Baldies’ plot, the Time Patrollers realize that time is running out on their mission, when Atlantis is shaken by tremors that presage a cataclysm that may be the disaster that sank the fabulous island state. But they must be sure they act to preserve, not destroy, history and if they’re wrong, it’ll be too late…
for them and for Earth’s future.

The Beast Master

Left homeless by the war that reduced Terra to a radioactive cinder, Hosteen Storm Navaho commando and master of beasts is drawn to the planet Arzor, to kill a man he has never met.

On that dangerous frontier world, aliens and human colonists share the land in an uneasy truce. But something is upsetting the balance, and Storm is caught in the middle. He had thought the war was over but was it?

Miss Norton endows this story of a homeless, revenge driven man with her own inimitable touch. The result is a compelling and compassionate tale. The New York Times Book Review

Beast Master’s Ark (With: Lyn McConchie)

The first new exciting Beast Master adventure in decades!Danger on ArzorBeast Master Hosteen Storm has endured great perils to carve out a life for himself on Arzor, the colony planet he’s called home since the destruction of Earth by the alien Xik. On a planet with alien life forms and untold secrets from it’s pre Human past, there are always dangers in the wild, especially the vast desert and rugged mountain region known as Big Blue.

dead,’ says someone above the boy.

To anyone in Tubacca there could be only one extraordinary thing about Drew, and that he could not reveal: his name, Rennie. Drew had come west from Kentucky to find a father he had thought dead until the year before. Kinship with a man like Hunt Rennie, however the legendary Don Cazar, owner of a matchless range and prize stallions was not a claim to be made quickly or lightly. Posing as Drew Kirby the young veteran contrived to get himself and his friend Anse hired as corral hands at Rennie’s Range, but he was hardly prepared for the suspicion and danger which stood between him and his father. As hotheaded as his father, Drew was ready to move on to California until the day all proof of his Rennie name was stolen from him, and his unwarranted arrest for horse thieving brought on the accusations of the one man whose trust he needed. Andre Norton’s Ride Proud, Rebel! dramatically portrayed the last year of the Confederacy, when brave men like Drew Rennie met defeat with honor. In this sequel, Drew’s struggle to establish his identity and begin life anew in a raw, unsettled land reflects the courage of thousands of rootless men set adrift by the Civil War.
