Synopsis

In a sweeping generational saga, the story of Warlock is told by three humans:

Shann Lontee was the lowest-ranking member of an exploration team sent to the newly discovered planet Warlock. When the insectile Throgs attacked the base, only he and two trained wolverines escaped. Hunted by the Throgs, he and the wolverines had to survive without technology on an alien world. Then he discovered the Wyvern, who were his only hope—if they weren't an even more deadly menace than the Throgs.

Charis Nordholm was sold into slavery by the outlaw colony on the planet Demeter. The trader, Jogon, who holds her contract, was on his way to Warlock to trade with the Wyvern. But the alien witches had ominous plans of their own, and both Charis and Shann Lantee found themselves fighting for their lives.

Ziantho's mental powers had made her a valuable asset to the interstellar criminals she worked for. Then she encountered a gem of ancient power and stole it. Pursued both by the stone's owners and the agents of the Patrol, she fled across the galaxy and encountered Ris Lantee who alone could solve the powerful gem's mystery.

Goodreads review by Chris on February 20, 2021

Started last night. I've certainly heard of the author, though I don't recall having read one of his/her books before. The cover image is not exact, but it's the only one that depicts a bug-"person"(Throg) on the cover. Moving on ... this 1960 book(my edition is a hardbound book, not paperback) in so......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on February 25, 2011

In some ways when reading one Andre Norton novel is like reading all her novels. When I checked out her Wikipedia page I found this on recurring themes. "Norton started out writing juvenile historical fiction and adventure, and then moved into fantasy and finally science fiction. Again and again in h......more

Goodreads review by Troy on August 11, 2007

This was one of the first science fiction books I read. I was completely blown away by it as a kid. I found it at the local library (with the same cover shown) and I must've taken it out at least three times. Sometime in third grade the entire school was told to dress as a character from their favori......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin on December 08, 2021

Shann Lantee, a poor and uneducated young man, feels fortunate to have achieved his goal of being included on a survey team of Terrans seeking out new planets to colonize. Unfortunately, here on the planet of Warlock, the team’s survey camp has been attacked and all but destroyed by the Throgs, an a......more

Goodreads review by Robert Adam on May 25, 2019

This book has an aesthetic of old generic science fiction that I can easily imagine a very deliberately retro cartoon tapping into (in a sort of Ariel Pink way). Ships like plates, insect people and reptile people, a colorful planet (but not especially lush) with glowing plants. In the author biograp......more
