Books with author Andre Norton

Norton dips deep into history instead of prognosticating far into the future. The story of Egypt's fight for freedom against the hated Hykos invaders. Two young princes are the heroes, aided by the *Shadow Hawk* from the far south, who spurred them and fought magnificently himself at the head of a tiny group of skilled Nubian archers. This is the first appearance as a Fawcett book after several editions in Ace.

Four novels of rapid-fire interstellar adventure, set in a common universe, by the Grand Master of the form: The X Factor: Only Diskan Fentress’s mutant powers had a chance of stopping the looting of his new world. Voorloper: Three those survivors—an embittered wanderer, his son, and a young girl with a healing power—know they have nothing to lose and set out to find the secret of the Shadow Death that blights the planet Voor. The Eye of the Monster: Rees Naper had survived the onslaught of the alien Ishkurian “crocs,” but had to cover miles of jungle and pass through croc armies to reach safety. To do that, he would have to think like a croc, move like a croc . . . and see though the eye of the monster. The Sioux Spaceman: Kade Whitehawk chose to join the battle for Ikkinni freedom, even though that choice made him a renegade to his own people, and would almost certainly mean his death. Publisher’s Note: This is the first time these novels have appeared in one mass market volume.

Lured by exotic gems and valuable oils, the crew of the space trader Solar Queen landed on the newly discovered planet Sargol, only to find their most ruthless competitor there ahead of them.

For well over a half century, Andre Norton has been one of the most popular science fiction and fantasy authors in the world. Since her first SF novels were published in the 1940s, her adventure SF has enthralled readers young and old. With series such as Time Traders, Solar Queen, Forerunner, Beast Master, Crosstime, and Janus, as well as many stand-alone novels, her tales of action and adventure throughout the galaxy have drawn countless readers to science fiction. Quest Crosstime: On an Earth exactly similar to ours geographically, but in which events of history and society took strangely different turns, Blake Walker found himself involved in a QUEST CROSSTIME. Born in the Earth we know, Blake had become a citizen of that alternate world and thought himself trusted until the mysterious disappearance of his patron's daughters, the rebellion of the time-travel engineers, and the outburst of a plot to use the secret of time to loot a hundred unsuspecting worlds. Blake's search through alternate Earths, his daring adventures with alien empires and hostile beings, all combine to make this one of Andre Norton's most unusual and exciting novels.

The secret of Octagon House When her grandmother gets sick, eleven-year-old Lorrie Mallard is sent to live with her aunt in the U.S. Things were different back home in Canada, and Lorrie is homesick—especially when boys like Jimmy Purvis and Stan Wormiski tease her. One day, Lorrie finds herself at the door of Octagon House, where she is welcomed by the elderly Miss Ashemeade and her servant, Hallie. Could the kindly Miss Ashemeade truly be a witch, like everyone says? Lorrie doesn’t know, but with the help an old rocking horse and a dollhouse she finds in a mysterious eight-sided room, she begins to unlock the secrets of Octagon House.

Four boys from different races and nationalities are drawn together by a potent magic that hurtles them into worlds populated by heroes and dragons Sig, Artie, Kim, and Ras go to the same school but have nothing in common—except for the urge to explore an abandoned house in the neighborhood. Who knows what treasures they’ll unearth? In one of the rooms is a dusty old box with four pictures of dragons on top, containing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle all jumbled together. But they glitter like jewels and lead each boy back to an enchanted time. Sig becomes a Viking warrior who must slay a dragon who had once been a man and now guards a cursed treasure. Ras is a Nubian prince sold into captivity; he can only escape by killing a deadly Egyptian serpent. As Artos, named for Caesar, High King of Britain, Artie lives under the yoke of Saxon tyranny, waging war to defend King Arthur and the Pendragon flag. Now a sword bearer and page in the imperial palaces of the great Chinese emperor, Kim must follow the path of the slumbering dragon. Against a backdrop of myth and fantasy, acclaimed author Andre Norton weaves an enthralling tale of friendship, faith, loyalty, and heroism. Dragon Magic is the 4th book in the Magic Sequence, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
