Very interesting to read this first book in the series. It gets straight to the point & the story is told quickly. I thought Simon a bit slow on the uptake regarding Briant's sex but other than that he's a great action hero.
back cover:
Ex-colonel Simon Tregarth was a hunted man - and the hunt was beginning to come to its inevitable deadly end. Tregarth was desperate, and his situation required a desperate solution. His only alternative, however, was wild beyond any imagining - sorcery. Sim...more

My wife gave this one to me (she had an old copy from when she was younger). I WAS HOOKED! My wife had a few more in the series, and I devoured them.

Solid start to the series. Hadn't read this since junior high. An interesting concept, executed well. Norton wasn't a fantastic writer, but you could depend on her for an enjoyable read. I've read about ten of her books over the years. She did write my favorite Star Trek novel.

While I had read some fantasy in the elementary school, but was not a huge fan. However, when I saw this one on the bookshelf at The Open Book, it spoke to me. I took it home and dived in. From that point forward, I was a true fan and Andre Norton was my favorite author.

Old school fantasy/sci-fi. Wrote my thesis about this book and other Andre Norton's. This is my favorite of the series. No feminist protagonist, but strong female characters and even stronger feminist implications.

Andre Norton is probably one of the best authors to introduce young readers to both SF and fantasy. You can't go far wrong with either the Solar Queen or the Witch World.

I loved this when I first read it. Brings back memories. I have a hardback version from the SF Book Club that includes two other Witch World adventures.
