Books with author Andre Norton

Key Out of Time -- the fourth book in the Time Traders series, following The Time Traders, Galactic Derelict, and The Defiant Agents -- again features Ross Murdock as the hero. Accompanying a group of settlers to the now-empty water-planet Hawaika, he is sent back in time through a Time Gate . . . and must learn to survive ten thousand years in the past!

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. Publisher’s Note: Search for the Star Stones was originally published in parts as The Zero Stone and its sequel Uncharted Stars. This is the first time both novels have appeared in one volume.

When petty criminal Ross Murdock and Apache rancher Travis Fox separately stumble upon Operation Retrograde, America's top-secret time-travel project, their special skills come in handy in their new role as time agents, journeying back and forth in time from ancient Britain and America to the distant reaches of space, in an omnibus edition containing The Time Traders and Galactic Derelict.

A rich anthology of short stories from the New York Times–bestselling author and legendary creator of the Witch World. Each year, Garner’s troupe makes its way to Ithkar Fair. The actors charm the crowd, winning applause and lavish reward, but none captures the audience’s imagination like the yellow-eyed, silver-haired girl whose performance conceals pain that few can understand. She is a Quintka—her coloring makes that plain—and yet even Garner, who has seen more of the world than anyone, can unlock the secrets of her unknown father, who left her mother to sacrifice herself to save the child. As she passes her seventeenth birthday, the mystery of her past drives her into danger, as she fights to find answers that no mortal should possess. “Swamp Dweller” is a classic Andre Norton story—lush, thrilling, and impossible to put down. Like the others in this invaluable volume, it is more than mere escapism—it is an entrancing look into another world.

In 1866, only men uprooted by war had reason to ride into Tubacca, Arizona, a nondescript town as shattered and anonymous as the veterans drifting through it. So when Drew Rennie, newly discharged from Forrest's Confederate scouts, arrived leading everything he owned behind him-his thoroughbred stud Shiloh, a mare about to foal, and a mule-he knew his business would not be questioned… (Excerpt from Goodreads)

Kana Karr was a young swordsman, a wielder of a medieval weapon in a super-scientific galaxy of limitless destruction. As an Earthman, this was the ONLY way he would be allowed travel the starways. He was nothing more than a hired mercenary sent to kill or be killed at the command of the oppressive Central Control. On a seemingly routine police action to the planet Fronn, Kana learned of a plot that threatened to overturn the balance of power held by the Galactic authority. The liberation of Earth might hinge on the outcome of the plot!
