"Storm Over Warlock" combines science fiction with fantasy, technology with witchcraft. Shann Lantee is lucky to be alive. He had snuck out of the small Terran base on the planet Warlock in the Circe system to find two artificially evolved wolverines, Taggi and his mate Togi, and bring them back to the base before anyone notices that they are missing. While he is gone, a force of Throgs, implacably hostile insectoid aliens, attacks the base and kills all of its occupants.

In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

Very Good Interpretation
- By Gerald on 10-25-08
Editorial Reviews
Alice Mary Norton, known to her mostly male readers as Andre Alice Norton, was the first woman to be inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, among many other august honors. A prolific spinner of science fiction and fantasy yarns, Norton here brings the listener to the planet of Asti, a peaceful place that has been conquered by a barbarian tribe. Our heroine is Varta, last of the virgin maidens, who must flee her home for safety in a secret world. Tenderly performed by veteran Cindy Hardin Killavey, "The Gifts of Asti" feature sensuous descriptions of the beautiful Varta, archly archaic dialogue, and rich depictions of a world not our own.
Publisher's Summary
In this story, barbarian hordes overtake a peaceful planet, which forces the final temple virgin of Asti and her faithful companion, Lur, to flee. They embark on an adventure that leads both of them to a a secret world and the discovery of a new destiny.

Short Story
I've read some of the author's short stories and enjoyed them but this one seemed to drop off. The story is well written and narration easy to follow but it seemed to suddenly end.
