okay. it is really dated now but still a good book. I enjoyed it.

apache face off against tartans with the fate of a new world at stake.

I like her choice of Earth peoples to strand on another planet

I’ve been an Andre Norton fan for decades. I like her indirect commentary on government making decisions. I like her depictions of people from different backgrounds and the realities of trying to work together. She was a woman definitely ahead of her time. Even though this novel was written in 1962, it could have easily been written today. She was a visionary. Definitely recommend
