Search for the Star Stones

By: Andre Norton

Narrated by: Charles Constant

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.

Both Star Stone books

Great to have an audio version of a pair of books that lived as a kid. They held up well. Left wanting more, or maybe just trained in todays world of book series- these two a linked and sequels in her Forerunner universe.

Not the Authors best

I didn't like the voice he used for the cat thing. it was grating and hard to understand. as was the old man, about half the time. other than that I liked it. it was interesting.

worth listening to

not one of Norton's best but really worth listening too.

a gemologist gets involved with aliens in the search for star stones. a strange power source

Memories of reading her novels over 40 years ago.

There is a reason that Andre Alice Norton was the Grandame of Science Fiction. I’m thankful that a childhood friend of mine introduced me to her novels.

Classic Norton Fore Runner stories

Forerunner foray, and Search for The Star Stones are Classic Norton. Sold Science Fiction seasoned with a touch of fantasy. I have always enjoyed scifi featuring disappeared ancient Galactic civilizations. Andre Norton was a mistress of inserting mystery to these stories.

I gave 4 stars to the narrative because the reader’s voicing of Eet seemed a bit forced, I kept thinking of Mr. Bill.
