Synopsis
Left homeless by the war that reduced Terra to a radioactive cinder, Hosteen Storm Navaho commando and master of beasts is drawn to the planet Arzor, to kill a man he has never met. On that dangerous frontier world, aliens and human colonists share the land in an uneasy truce. But something is upsetting the balance, and Storm is caught in the middle. He had thought the war was over but was it? Miss Norton endows this story of a homeless, revenge-driven man with her own inimitable touch. The result is a compelling and compassionate tale.

From AudioFile
Hosteen Storm, a Navajo commando, must venture to the dangerously unstable planet of Arzor to kill a man he has never met. When he arrives, however, he discovers a more pressing issue to attend to, namely that the war he thought had ended may not be over at all. Narrator Richard Brewer reads with purpose, moving through the story at a steady pace that never lets up. As Storm, Brewer is more subdued than one would expect, but his approach makes the character more personal and believable. Brewer's driving performance allows listeners to empathize with their hero's plight and identify with its urgency. L.B. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
