Synopsis

The classic far-future novel about the telepathic bond of friendship between human and animal from the grande dame of science fiction and fantasy.

Exiled after his home planet was turned into a military outpost following an interstellar war, Troy Horan is relocated to the planet of Korwar. Under the watchful eye of the police state, he lives in the slums in a restricted area for sub-citizens. He works as a day laborer in an interplanetary pet shop and has no idea why the Terran animals have been imported to Korwar—or why he has the ability to silently communicate with them, especially the kinkajou. But a murder forces him to flee with his animal friends into the Wild, where mysterious, sealed ruins conceal Korwar's most fiercely guarded secret. With no one he can trust and an entire government under siege, Troy leads his extraordinary band of warriors in a final bid for freedom none of them may survive.

This action-packed, classic outsider story will be enjoyed by listeners of all ages.

I'm giving it an extra star because I didn't pay attention so when I tuned back in and didn't know what was going on, I can't blame it. I do however blame it for being dry enough that I couldn't pay attention for the mere 6 hours this audio lasted. This is the second Norton I've read. I found the ani......more

This was a middle-of-the-road read for me. I wasn’t engrossed by it, but I wasn’t bored either. It was a cute and moderately entertaining story that didn’t stand out to me in any way. I hardly even know what to write about in my review. The story follows a young man named Troy who is unemployed and l......more
