Why I Started: I've heard a lot about Andre Norton, but never read anything by her before. (I don't think my library had anything by her.) So when I saw this novella lying around the secondhand store, I decided to pick it up and see what I was missing.
Why I Finished: I couldn't go to sleep until the fair shut down for the day anyway, and I might as well do something vaguely useful with my time. Also, I was kind of compelled to see if the mess would m More...

The least enjoyable of the three that I've read from the collection Visions of Distant Shores: An Andre Norton Collection. You don't get to know what was in that valley - maybe a ploy for another book in the series?

Fun book. Didn't remember it at all from having read it in my teen years. Looks like a sequel may have been intended, but I can't be bothered to look it up and see. In any case, fun little old-time SF read. Obvious basis of the "Safari Ship" adventure from Traveller.

Andre Norton is one of my favorite authors. They way she can spin a tale, be it complex or simple, makes any adventure an enjoyable read. The characters are not 2-dimensional.

Historical SciFi is okay, but has a mundane single theme storyline. The cool scifi concept started good but didn't go anywhere. I remember reading Andre Norton when I was a kid and really enjoyed the novels, but then again, I thought Andre Norton was a guy! Ms Alice Andre Norton's novels still in my heart. . . .

Ha, scheme for billions gone wrong. Creepy semi-sentient planet. Mind control, etc. Great setting, open ending that makes me wish this was part of a series.

Swashbuckling sci-fi adventure, indeed. Fun and vaguely cross-genre. Not terribly challenging but awfully well-written.
