Star Ka'ats and the Winged Warriors
Just finished reading "Star Ka'ats and the Winged Warriors" by Andre Norton and Dorothy Madlee, published by Walker and Company back in 1981.
Sadly the fourth book in Norton's and Madlee's popular Star Ka'at series never had a paperback edition here in the United States during the lifetime of both authors and this was Madlee's last book before she passed away. Norton decided to bring the series to a close with the passing of her friend and co-author. So I do not know if Norton and Madlee had planned on any other books in the series featuring the interstellar adventures of Jim, Elly Mae and their Star Ka'at companions Trio and Mer.
While I did manage to read a copy of "Star Ka'ats and the Winged Warriors' years after it was originally published, I got my reading copy from eBay.
The Star Ka'at descendants that Trio and Mer, along with Jim and Elly Mae rescued from Earth are not adapting to life on the Star Ka'at home-world of Zimmorrah at all. Led by Boots, the Earth Star Ka'ats actually prefer to hunt for their food So when the opportunity arrives to check the fate of another Star Ka'at colony world - Boots and his followers jump at the chance. And since the expedition is being led by Trio and Mer, Jim and Elly Mae also travel to the lost colony world and soon discover a world where giant insects rule. Trio, Mer, Jim, and Elly Mae must solve what happened to the lost colony and if there are any survivors. And Jim must determine what is the best course of the future for the Star Ka'ats and their human companions.
Classic Andre Norton.
Highly Recommended.
Ten Stars.
