STORM OVER WARLOCK
"A satisfying and mature novel which readers will seize upon if theywant to enjoy a good adventure story.
"A survey base on a remote planet is wiped out by a raid of Earth'senemies, the Throgs; the only survivor must face the perils of anunexplored planet while trying somehow to strike back at the enemy....
"As always Norton creates both human and alien beings well, and tells astory that you can't stop reading."
--_New York Herald Tribune_
"UP TO NORTON'S BEST STANDARDS."
--_Library Journal_
The Throg task force struck the Terran survey camp a few minutes afterdawn, without warning, and with a deadly precision which argued that thealiens had fully reconnoitered and prepared that attack. Eye-searinglances of energy lashed back and forth across the base with methodicalaccuracy. And a single cowering witness, flattened on a ledge in theheights above, knew that when the last of those yellow-red bolts fell,nothing human would be left alive down there.
And so Shann Lantee, most menial of the Terrans attached to the camp onthe planet Warlock, was left alone and weaponless in the strange,hostile world, the human prey of the aliens from space and the aliens onthe ground alike.
