The Game of Stars and Comets

Danger in the stars!

The birth of a hero is never easy. Clumsy as an elephant in high heels, he is nothing like his legendary scout father.

But inside that bull-moose-of-a-body lies the heart of a hero whose moment has arrived! Next, a boy survives alien invasion—but must learn to think and act like his reptilian enemy to exact retribution for slaughter.

These and two other tales of coming-of-age-through-peril from the writer who invented the genre, Andre Norton. Includes "The X Factor," "Voorloper," "The Eye of the Monster," and "The Sioux Spaceman"—all set in Norton's "Council/Confederation" universe.
