Synopsis

Murdoc Jern's father, an interstellar gem trader, was murdered by outlaw competitors and left behind an odd ring, large enough to fit over the finger of a space suit. With his companion Eet, a strange feline mutant with phenomenal mental powers, he soon discovered that the stone in the ring was actually a Zero Stone—an alien device left behind by an ancient vanished race—and it was the key to powers beyond human imagination.

Murdoc and Eet had to solve the secret of the Zero Stone, and very quickly, because very greedy and dangerous people wanted that ring, and wouldn't hesitate at a second murder to obtain it.

I was but a youngling, probably no more than a dozen Terran years old, when I first read Andre Norton's The Zero Stone—and from its very first scene in that dismal back alley with its slimy stone walls, on some ridiculously faraway planet that had never even heard of Earth, I was hooked on Murdoc Je......more

Two books in one. Science Fiction. Murdoc's father is murdered and leaves behind an odd ring, big enough to go over the finger of a space suit and with a stone unlike anything Murdoc has seen before. Maybe a little long by the time you get through both books, but good.......more

Goodreads review by Lucy

Interesting science fiction from one of the masters of the genre. These two novels, now published together, work well.
