Catseye

De: Andre Norton

Narrado por: Eric Michael Summerer

The classic far-future novel about the telepathic bond of friendship between human and animal from the grande dame of science fiction and fantasy.

Exiled after his home planet was turned into a military outpost following an interstellar war, Troy Horan is relocated to the planet of Korwar. Under the watchful eye of the police state, he lives in the slums in a restricted area for sub-citizens. He works as a day laborer in an interplanetary pet shop and has no idea why the Terran animals have been imported to Korwar or why he has the ability to silently communicate with them, especially the Kinkajou.

But a murder forces him to flee with his animal friends into the Wild, where mysterious, sealed ruins conceal Korwar's most fiercely guarded secret. With no one he can trust and an entire government under siege, Troy leads his extraordinary band of warriors in a final bid for freedom none of them may survive. This action-packed, classic outsider story will be enjoyed by listeners of all ages.

A True Hero's Journey

I read this novel when it was first published. I loved it then when I was a teenager. I still enjoyed it as a senior.

unusual take on relationship between man and beast. thought provoking. a little wordy sometime but a good "read"

great reread

Andre Norton - the original Grand Dame of SciFi- never disappoints. I've always enjoyed her turn of phrase.

An old favorite!

I remember reading this book as a kid, and it was so neat to finally have it on audible. I hope they bring back a lot of André Norton’s older novels and do the same. It’s a great story!
